I must be missing something. When I go to the BB BF early deals link I'm not seeing a lot of what Vig mentioned. Nothing about PoI, Diablo, Dishonored, etc.. The PS4 section only shows 9 games. The Movies & TV shows section shows 67 BR items, but no TV shows.  :whistle2:k

Is there somewhere specific to see a lit of all the deals, or are you guys just browsing or going off the BF flyer and then searching for those items? When I search for Dishonored and FFX/X-2 they show as $40 even though I'm elite.

Pretty cool BB had their BF games up early. Got Bloodborne for myself and Disney Infinity 3.0 for a Christmas present for my son. Too bad Until Dawn wasn't up for some reason as Vig said.

Are you sure you're logged in and you clicked the product pages? Sometimes BBY's website says I'm logged in when I'm really not.

Person of Interest S4 wasn't explicitly mentioned in the BF ad, but it's in the list you click to show all the $9.99 TV shows.

A Best Buy forum rep confirmed Until Dawn's removal from the Early Access deals:

mightymek said:
From Derek on Best Buy forums:

"I have received word from our team that Until Dawn was actually removed from the Early Access event. Please check BestBuy.com on Thursday (starting at 12:00 AM central time) as we will have additional Black Friday deals available.

Thank you!"

Weird that they removed Until Dawn...was hoping to avoid "waiting" on deals with the early access. Grabbed Splatoon as well for my son since it was only $3 more than the Walmart price and one less store to deal with.

I'll grab Transformers Devestation from GS on Tuesday for $30 (5 more than walmart) but have credit there and will get $30 back on the blue Vita.

Went ahead and got Far Cry 4, Diablo 3 and Call of Duty Ghosts. I only paid 39 cents cause #cagmath. Had a $35 rewards cert that took care of the rest!

Oh but I did have to buy a 99 cent headphone jack adaptor to get the pre tax price over $35 in order to use the cert. Oh well!

Far Cry 4 gets a lot of crap but at that price it is a steal and a pretty easy plat as well.
 
Bought 5 games from best buy

Elder scrolls online

witcher 3

far cry 4

dark souls II

cod ghosts

Witcher supposedly will come with a steel book and ghosts was 6.40 after GCU. Figured cheap enough to play the campaign. Might just wind up returning it. On the fence about dark souls II as well, never played a souls game and not sure id like it. Pretty excited about the other 3 though.

Had project cars in the cart but decided against it.

Came out to 81.23 for all of it, and paid 81.23 cause #realmoney

Yeah, I deliberately went to my account page to force it to log in. I'm not seeing any links for $9.99 TV shows. What's the root page you're using to see all the BF deals? The link I got via email is this. There's not even a TV deals link on that page. Closest is Video Games & Movies which gives GHL, Skylanders, B2G1, and $2.99 and $4.99 DVDs/Blu-rays.

I didn't navigate through any pages to find the stuff I bought. I made a List containing everything I want from Best Buy's BF sales (each product page has "Add to List" as an option), then reloaded the page when I got up early this morning to find most of the prices had updated and added each item to the cart.

 
Ah. I'll look through the ad, then. Some of the stuff you've said you already bought isn't showing up at BF prices for me yet, though. Odd.

And of course the couple of items I've just tried to add give me "There was a problem adding to your cart."  :wall:

 
So I liked gta3/vc, hated san andreas, never played gta4.  I started gta5 on ps3 and it didn't grab me right away (and I only had it for a day before I had to send it off).  Is it worth picking up and playing through the game?  I'll skip all the gta online hullaballoo.  where does it rank in the grand tradition of grand theft auto?

I am not the norm because I hated Trevor in GTA 5. I really enjoyed the other 2 characters and they made it jump to the top of the list for me. GTA 4 is easily at the bottom just due to the main character being so boring. I really liked San Adreas and VC but I never played 3. My rankings would be something like this.

5 >> SA > VC >>>> 4

San Andreas and Vice City are splitting hairs, but I preferred the main character in SA so it gets the nod.

GTA 5 is awesome. I played it on PS3 and PS4 and loved it both times. Its obviously better on PS4 though.

 
Yeah GTA V is well worth a playthrough at this price. The plat is pretty grindy as Gator can attest to but I liked it a lot and you get a nice upgrade for it on PS4.
 
Therm, are you an Elite member? Think you need to be elite to see the early prices.

Yeah GTA 5 was a lot more fun then I thought it was going to be. I hated GTA 4 so I skipped every other GTA title. Almost skipped 5. Glad I played it though.

Yep. Unless I randomly lost my Elite membership sometime recently. I can't recall where you actually check that status, but I've been getting those elite offers all year and also have had the free shipping. I've got a list up right now and it's showing Dishonored at $40 I'm not sure if there's some price change that hasn't rolled to all servers or if there's something else going on.

 
Dang, tried to stack the coupon for the PS4 camera with the BF price, no go. It actually makes it jump up to 45$ which is the $15 off the normal price. Oh well. Not gonna bother for the 30$.

it does have a separate online code. I'm not willing to part with mine because I really am actually going to use it for real this time honest.

You're on a computer and not mobile, correct? Some people were reporting having issues with the deals on mobile.

 
if any zatters want to help me out real quick tonight and play backup so I can get those two horde mode trophies (high score and most medals) I'd be much obliged.  I'd just do the dead end map since it's pretty easy for two and I think it goes pretty quick.  I don't know if I can do it solo but maybe I should try that first.

Yep, computer.

I am starting to suspect they just killed my Elite status. I know I've seen it on my account page somewhere recently but now I can't find it.

One way to check is to add something to your cart and see if you're charged for Expedited shipping. If you aren't, you're still Elite; if you are, you're not.

EDIT: Actually, that method might only work if you're Elite Plus, because I don't know if "standard" Elite members get free Expedited shipping or just free Standard shipping (which wouldn't work to check now because Best Buy offers free Standard shipping on everything through Christmas).

Giant understatement here. Although looking back, GTA 4 was much much worse.

At the time, reaching max level online was much worse. That was because there was only one way to do it even remotely efficiently: grinding hangman's noose over and over.

It was the only way to get a decent amount of cash in a decent amount of time and that only worked if you had a group of at least 3 and preferably 4 that knew EXACTLY what to do. On top of getting max level, there was a metric fuck ton of races and you had to win every mode. The tracking for it was fucked so you had to track it meticulously and even then you started praying when you finished the last one waiting for the trophy to pop. Add to that Flying the Co-op trophy which was practically impossible without people that were pros to help you.

Since then, I think there have been glitches where people could get max rank easily in a couple hours. I do not really give a shit about the rarity dropping due to that, but I do wish I could have all that time back.

Still can't add anything to my cart. I'll keep trying. It may be that the store is just glitching on me. I've had that happen before on a few random occasions.

I am only Elite and am getting the free expedited shipping. Supposedly will have my two games on Wednesday.

Probably last year for Elite. I am almost $1000 short and if I buy a TV it probably won't be from BB this year. Nice while it lasted.
