Video games do not arrive on release day anymore. Now they SHIP on release day. I am dealing with this for the second time in a row, and the worst part is I need it this time for early access. It's yet another aspect of Best Buy getting worse as a company.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No, I preordered a Tears of the Kingdom over a month early and will not receive it until five days later without the ability to cancel. DO NOT GIVE BEST BUY A CENT.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.They SHIP on the release date now. So they will arrive either a day later or more.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.i pre ordered armored core as well and it’s coming on thursday like really what was even the point of pre ordering
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I order most of my games from Best Buy and they typically arrive at my house on the release date.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Ordered armored core and now they try to get you with the "shipped" by release date, but my copy says it will arrive 3 days later on monday. Between this and Amazon ordering physical copies online is a waste of time just get a store where you can order in-store pick up.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Total bs , They won’t arrive on said day and if it already “shipped” they won’t cancel your order. Now your stuck having to wait for a game you preordered and won’t be able to play until it gets delivered… so what’s the point of preordering??????
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Nah man, they've been dropping the ball since covid. If you ever pre-order a game and the release date gets pushed up, youre especially screwed because Worst Buy over here wont reflect the change. MK1 came out early access 9/14 and they had copies in store for it, yet they wouldnt let me get my pre-order copy, saying "nope our internal system shows 9/19, regardless of what the system shows on your end, we're going by ours and not going to accommodate, sorry for the inconvenience" Others reported the same issue at other stores and via support and had their stores relent and cave in and give them what they're rightfully entitled to, but support told me it was at management's descretion AKA "they were being A-holes because they can"
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This is hit or miss. Sometimes previous orders are received on the release date, but not always. I’ve had some that came days later. You should preorder for in store pickup and save the headache.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No! I had placed a pre order for Splatoon that was released on September 9th it’s been 24 hrs and no code (because I got it digital) and nobody is trying to work with me! I can’t even cancel my order! This is the last time I would spend my money in Best Buy. I have called multiple times and they all just giving me their sorry’s, no! I need my game code or my money back ! This is total bs!
