guessing or proof? Either way, I am an unhappy customer. This is just the way things go. I may end up with one, or I may not. But if I don't end up with one through bestbuy's measures, ESPECIALLY if they get more stock and neglect we who have already preordered with them and as a result have lost out, I see no reason…

I didn't preorder late- on the contrary, I preordered early. In fact, my early preorder, mixed with bestbuy's incompetence, is what hurt my chances. I missed about 3 other chances since then due to their good faith on the preorder and their credit hold of my money. I don't know what you're getting at, but I am the…

Here's the worst part- I just got clarification from bestbuy that if they do get new stock, which they may, they will not be honoring out preorders, but putting them back for sale on the website. CS's only consolation was, "we suggest being at a bestbuy store on the release date". FUCK. YOU. BESTBUY.

Listen, I know they owe me nothing. I would not expect to get money out of them, and I will not be using the 50 bucks they offered me. I do, however, expect the item I preordered. If I do not get it, which I will not, I hold them accountable for my loss of the opportunity to get one elsewhere, as they held my money…

How about, naaaah. Stop acting like a king yourself. Businesses fuck up, and customers are lost. It's kinda how business works. Go back to high school and sit in an economics class for a few weeks.

I'll chalk you up to bored, ha ha. I may be reacting harshly because I wanted the item. You obviously didn't. You don't have to understand it- just accept it. Nobody ever forces anybody to preorder anything, however if you want an item, you often have to. A preorder is a good faith contract. If a retailer botches is,…

Here's a funny bit from all of this- Amazon now only has four listings- a shitload of scalpers had to drop their listings after bestbuy's fuckup! Kind of cool, but still not worth the better of us being shafted as well...

First world problem shaming is such a cop out. I don't accept that from anybody who isn't currently overseas dedicating their lives and resources to third world nations and their troubled people. As for me, I was slighted by a retail company. The natural course of action on the retail-consumer relationship is to be…

Wonderful snark, but they did screw me out of opportunity to get what I wanted. Since a preorder is like them saying, "don't worry, dude- we've got this", and they do initially put the 200 bucks on credit hold for account verification for purchase, they give you a reason NOT to look elsewhere to fulfill your wish, of…

FUCK BESTBUY!!!! People, please take my advice and email the shit out of their customer service. If we all send as many emails as we can in a bit of our free time, their customer service will be completely overwhelmed. They've inconvenienced us AND kept most of us from preordering one elsewhere in the last week…

Yeah, I've been warring with them over email all night. I'm livid. Not only have they caused a bunch of us a troubling inconvenience, but they've properly kept us from getting our hands on one otherwise. I outright refused to accept their 50 dollar tissue, citing that I would rather give any other retailer my money…

EVERYBODY- bestbuy is now sending emails stating that they cannot honor their preorders. If you have an order with bestbuy, keep checking. I've already sent a few very angry emails stating that I will no longer be using their store for anything if they can't honor a preorder after multiple confirmations. They've now…

Poorly titled article!! I thought you were referring to new gameplay ideas, and I walked in here with my fists clenched. Apologies. Carry on...

Video game cinematic segments are too long. Actual gameplay is becoming too short and sporadic.

I liked Club Nintendo, but as long as I still get my Mewtwo codes and Smash soundtrack, I'll be okay.

I emailed their cust serv and they said everything is good. The order is on file as processed. The charge won't be taken out until the system ships. That means on Feb 13, I'll have 217 taken out for the Majora edition, 130 taken out for the remainder of the MH4U edition, 87 taken out for the special edition of the…

I never buy limited handhelds. In fact, the only one I ever bought was the NES themed GBA, because my original silver one was crapping out anyway. The first limited piece of hardware I've wanted since was the ALBW 3DS, and I came up on a used one last month- and I love every bit of it.

No mention of kinstones? That was actually the best lengthening agent in any Zelda game! Optional, rewarding, added a sense of discovery... And I consider it sort of where Fantasy Life took cues from for its system. For shame!

I'm just worried because it's Best Buy. I ordered the MH4U New 3DS from Gamestop's website, but it went through clean and I trust their ability to handle a preorder process. I finally got on Best Buy's order status page and it all looks okay. I'm stoked.

If I get it, I'll let you borrow it!
