So, my Titanfall shipped yesterday. I thought Best Buy shipped pre orders on release day.

they are getting horrible about that...

I have elite plus and even though I get complementary release day shipping, my last 4 preorders have arrived a day or two after release.

If this keeps ups, I'll probably skip them for preordering for the huge fall line up that's due this year.

Call your local store and ask. They just released the list of stores participating in the midnight launch within the last few days and participation varies by store.

Cool. I wasn't sure they were doing a midnight release for this game. It is a pretty safe bet the BB near my apartment will be participating though. They have for every other mid night release I have seen.

Best Buy recently changed the way they source merchandise for shipped orders. It used to be that all of the online orders were shipped from your nearest distribution center. All BB stores have recently moved to a procedure where stores can actually fulfill orders issued from BBY.com. The idea is that people would receive merchandise faster since people wouldn't have to wait for the item from a warehouse (the wait would theoretically be longer since warehouses are fewer and farther between than stores), but some stores have had a problem getting on the ball with the program. Our store ships stuff out as soon as possible, but I've heard stories of other stores that didn't even know they were supposed to be participating in this until a week ago. The staff at your local BBs might just need to get their acts together because I have a feeling it's just employee negligence. Not that I'm defending them, since I would probably take my business elsewhere too if my stuff kept coming in late.

Just thought I would throw in that information since, like I said, I have a feeling that the reason why some people are getting orders late is because some of the process is handled by inexperienced/untrained store staff instead of the warehouse staff that are used to dealing with these types of orders.

 
So it looks the Titanfall 360 will be a competent version. I'm not a graphics junkie, as long as it plays well and is fun. The $48 GCU price, along with the $10 RZ, seems good enough. Even if I hate it, I'm sure I can get ~$35 in trade for it.

Some people may prefer a trade in deal, instant gc and/or pre-order credit offer I`d suggest people detail what offer would work best for them in regards to both MK8 & Last of us PS4. A trade in boost for the PS3 to PS4 version won`t help those who already traded it in but the $10 pre-order or instant GC will.

i just hope it is not keychain size, because it is hard to tell from the picture.

any1 got the Free Ouroboros Medallion from getting elder scroll online? what it is made out of?

Now if the game flops in sales & BB has plenty in stock you can get them for free if there`s no barcode otherwise $1-$5 depending on the store.
 
So that figure is a Panzerhund Minature, as in a minature like a Warhammer table top game mini? If so count me out, those things are way too small. I don't have a place that I feel I could safely put it...

Why is the top link for Mario Kart 8 linking to something about warranties?

FYI, I am too lazy to create suggestions on Best Buy Forums, but i'll probably vote for anyone's post that they want to provide a link for. I'd love to see rewards certs for stuff like Borderlands: Pre-Sequel and Diablo 3 for PS4 (i'm not sure if it's even officially announced yet). I would guess Borderlands is pretty likely already since it is multi-platform and last gen.

Once the new games are announced @ E3 I'll make a new $10 pre-order listing all the titles IIRC borderlands franchise has been part of the BBC offers from the start

I got the medallion and I don't know what it is made out of but it is definitely not plastic. It's also decently sized at 3" diameter and it's got a bit of heft to it. Fairly detailed, it's one of the nicer freebies I've gotten.

 
Just got an email that's says you receive 20 instead of 10 for pre ordering wolfenstein. That with panzer miniature, doom beta and gamers club is a no brainer!

Did it mention if it was like for you (and other people who got the email) specifically, or just in general. Since I was already going to get it but if the bonus gets bumped up to $20 that would be great haha.

 
Here is the email word for word

MyBestBuy customers get $20 in reward certificates
The Doom Beta, and the Only @ BestBuy Exclusive Panzerhud miniature
 
I just got that as well.  If you click the link in the email, the page that comes up still says "Get $10" tho.  Possible they haven't updated the second page yet.  But 20% off + $20 back is definitely a no-brainer.  $28 + tax for a day 1 game?  OK.  ;)

 
Thanks for copying the email, sounds like it should just be for anyone in My Best Buy, which is great!

Yeah, that's an amazing deal on a brand new game (And one on the Xbox One/PS4 as well!)

 
Got the same Wolfenstein email overnight (titled "Pre-Order Wolfenstein: The New Order Now. Plus get $20 in MyBestBuy Certificates").  We'll have to keep an eye on the product page to see if it updates from $10 to $20 or if the email just a had a significant typo.

I'd definitely pre-order if it was $20 in gift certificates. I'm going to have to keep an eye on this.

Same. I have so much BBY credit right now, I wouldn't mind preordering something that I otherwise had no interest in if I could get $20 back in points. $10 back, not so much.

I highly suspect this email was a mistake. Everyone hold onto it just in case! My interest for this game just went from "probably not" to "maybe". Hoping for some early reviews.

 
Matt from BBY confirmed $20 rewardzone certificate on the forums:

Hello everyone!

Thank for your interest in pre-ordering Wolfenstein: The New Order at Best Buy! We’ve got a lot of great pre-order offers for this game and I’d be happy to help clarify some of them for you.

I see that many of you received an email today stating that My Best Buy members can receive $20 in certificates for pre-ordering and purchasing Wolfenstein. This is absolutely true and available to all My Best Buy members, even if you placed your pre-order prior to this announcement. I know that BestBuy.com still only shows $10 in certificates, but we’re working on getting that updated.

For additional information on these pre-order offers, please feel free to check out our post here. If you have any additional questions on these bonuses, you may post a reply on that thread.

Sincerely,
Matt|Senior Social Media Specialist | Best Buy® Corporate

Yup, right after I made a post there I noticed Matt posted right before me haha. Still curious if I'll get the figure with an in-store pick up order or not, but I'll definitely be pre-ordering this one now either way!

I'm also curious. I'd hope in store pickup would work but who knows.

Is the person who made that second reply related to someone here on CAG? Because I'm sure I've seen a similar wall of text before.... Didn't realize paragraphs were so hard to make...

That is a good idea though, and a good point about how GS prints the DLC codes directly on the receipts themselves.

I don't know about you guys but I have received dlc codes on my receipts. The last few games I got have. Gears Judgment had the Hammerburst and Anya codes. Arkham Origins had Robin.
