Exactly, I don't see how people can deal with Walmart. I would pay extra to go somewhere else. Even Walmart's store pickups sucks. I attempted to use it twice and once they couldn't find the product I ordered despite saying they got it in and left with nothing (and of course, the managers at Walmart don't give a shit and won't even give an apology) and another time took almost an hour to find it. Not to mention, Walmart does get a rough crowd of people (at least at the ones I've seen) loitering in the parking lots, soliciting you things, etc. and feels unsafe especially at night.
So if a game is $19.99 at BB or $9.99 at Walmart I would choose BB.
This, also I can't believe Zantra is even suggesting Wal-Mart himself. He did mention that he got sick for a while, from the Target thread.
With the outbreak going, I'd rather stay safe and not take my chances. Having it shipped to home with a nice steelbook, is the better option here.

Agree 100% with you, bmcgrevy. Nowadays, my preference is always to avoid going inside to retail.
There really are so few things worth going to stores for, and games are definitely not one of them.

Not everybody has a Best Buy, but everybody has a Walmart, and Best Buy's return policy is atrocious. They charge you money to put stuff back on the shelves when you return it. It's like punishing you for shopping there. Once the game discount ran out, a lot of people saw no reason to keep shopping there. They've also closed tons of locations recently due to Covid 19 and not being considered an essential retail business. Walmarts are still open everywhere. Also, there are only 977 Best Buys in the entire world, and there are currently 11,500 Walmarts. It's not hard to believe that more people would buy games at Walmart than at Best Buy strictly for convience sake. The closest Best Buy to me before Covid 19 was almost 30 miles away. The closest Walmarts are 4, 6, 9, 10, and 13 miles away.
What were you trying to return to Best Buy? The restocking fee only applies to high end items like cell phones, tablets, and drones.

A $5 DVD. But, ignore what I said, I thought you could get the $9 price online and just pick it up from a local store. But, apparently Walmart has different online prices than in-store prices. And, a guy on SlickDeals said that he got them to honor the $9 price in store and refund the rest of his money, but it sounds like a hassle. The Best Buy deal is slightly better, if you don't want the hassle. The good news is that Walmart is going to start forcing people to wear masks, cleaning their stores, and having hand sanitizer stations all over the place, starting August 1st.What were you trying to return to Best Buy?

And, I am still very sick unfortunately. I just had a lapse in judgement for a second.

Not sure what problem you had with returning a DVD to BB. I returned Blu-rays and a game a few times at 2 different BBs since the lockdown and had no issues or restocking fees. Both stores didn't allow people to enter stores but allowed curbside order pick-ups and returns.
Also, if you actually are still sick, I hope you haven't gone out shopping at all, mask or not...

Is it really "free" shipping if you are paying an extra $11 for the game. The whole point of this site is to find games for the cheapest prices.
Thanks bro. Got it for $9 this evening. Brickseek says "Out of Stock" at my local WM but I was able to find a copy between a row of PS4 games.

This whole logic is ridiculous. What's true for you isn't necessarily true for everyone else. I can get to 4 different BBY easily and the closest Walmart is at least an hour's drive away.
14 day Return policy is ass for those who only qualify for that, I will give you that much, but your restocking fee fiasco is, as you stated, a special circumstance local to that one particular store.
Feel better guy and maybe take a breather before bashing something while you are still unwell.

Damn this is annoying. I saw this the first day that sale went live, put it in the cart and went through the rest of their sale games. Came back and hour later and the Steelbook offer part was magically missing from it no matter how I looked at the sale/item. Guess it was just broken somehow or went back up. Really bummed because I was waiting on this for a while.
