I finally got Blue Dragon Awakened (assuming it doesn't get cancelled that is). I've wanted it forever, but kept putting it off for some reason.

 
Apparently for used games it shows available in store when the store has one copy. (as opposed to three or more normally)

Dang. Nice find. That's one of those guys that I really want to play but can never remember to look for it.
 
Ugh, I'm in quite the predicament here. I've had 3 $18 games in my cart waiting for a B2G1. Now they are $13.50 each but now one of them are OOS, I'm sure the other 2 will be OOS shortly and I doubt they'll come back in stock anytime soon. I hate it when Best Buy fuck s up my plans!

just went in and picked up the games i wanted/tried to order online off the shelf. and all rang up the bb website price so there was no need to pricematch. all mint/complete. huzzah.

 
I'm glad I decided to stop by the store which had the games in my attempted online order available for pickup, because I was able to get them all there (NSMB2, NASCAR 2011 for :360: and :ps3:) plus a :360: copy of F1 2011. I didn't need to PM the online prices, either, since they showed up without any problems whatsoever.

 
i might get a nascar or 2 as flip fodder for gamestop. turning 4.49 (after 10% discount) into 11.20 after pur and 30% promo is a great margin

F1 2011 Vita is available for shipping again. I saw a lot of people mention it.
Trying to buy it is making their site break. It tells me it's unavailable and won't even let me remove it from my cart and then shows the cart page rendered twice. Tried it in Chrome, IE and on my phone with same results.

I bought a $20 gift card to avoid the shipping costs (as filler) and meet the $25 threshold. Not sure if it will go through, but it did give me free shipping for my game.

Whats bothers me in bestbuy used games is you never know if you are getting original cover or their replacement. But at least games are clean. Thanks

 
yay my zelda shipped ! i was afraid of a cancel as many people have had those
The people getting problems have been ordering a bunch of separate orders, the first few go through but I assume the system will start to automatically cancel orders after a certain point if they are made too quickly. So far I have heard "My first two went through alright, but after that they got cancelled"

 
It doesn't matter if people trade in games at your local BB. Wasn't it said that any games traded-in are sent to a warehouse then re-distributed throughout the country? The only problem is that the distribution is very bad.
Well why does a top 50 city in the US have no stock on any of these games while everyone else does?
 
Their site doesn't seem to want to take any orders for me. Odd...
1. Guessing here but you might be trying to place the entire order on a gift card.
2. If that is true, than you will need to go to the mobile site (just go to m.bestbuy.com once you have your items in the cart, and complete the checkout there, it's a bit weird to navigate but will work perfectly fine) giftcard's won't be an issue on there.

Wait, why is placing the entire order on a gift card a problem? I did it just fine; didnt go to the mobile site either.

We have absolutely no idea. It is not an issue for everyone, but it has come and gone for a few of us. It doesn't/didn't/wont affect everyone, but sometimes out of the blue some people get that issue. I have been fine now for a while, but periodically starting in july it started to happen on the main site. So when someone says it won't let them place an order, one of the most common causes is if they are doing it entirely with a giftcard, and we will tell them how to work around that from past experience.

 
Had a copy of NASCAR canceled because they couldn't verify information. Lol okay, Best Buy. Paid with a gift card, too.

But I haven't encountered the gift card error in some time. I had the error when Kirby was on sale and had to place it over the phone.

According to other cags, the gift card issue has been fixed recently.

That means you placed too many/multiple orders and some will be cancelled.

 
I ordered MUA2 for ship to store and hope that goes through. I'd traded it in years ago and wanted to play it again but it's been hard to find at a decent price.

 
Was hoping to see Gears of War 3 for $9.99 or less.  Somehow I've missed that game every time its $10 or under.  I know its going to be around the $10 price for a new copy soon enough with Black Friday and the new consoles coming out, but I feel like playing it soon.  

I did get a $20 tip at work today after servincing someone's central AC though so paying $15 for it wouldnt feel quite so terrible, I'll have to consider it overnight
