“It looks as though the pre-orders came back up for the Deluxe edition, but I was just curious if this was a mistake? It’s been out of stock for weeks and is not currently in stock anywhere else, am I good to pre-order this edition without worry?”

Speaking from experience with previous games here: You should be fine. :) Best Buy's system won't allow orders for stock that isn't accounted for. In fact, a surplus number must always available in their system to account for replacements (in case initial stock/ordered stock is damaged). However, they are marked unavailable until they are no longer needed. All of these are applicable reasons for orders opening back up (however brief): 1) Best Buy secured additional stock for launch 2) Someone cancelled their pre-order 3) Someone's card was declined or expired, automatically cancelling their pre-order 4) Back-up (replacement) stock was no longer necessary, and thus released for standard order/pre-order I've secured more than a couple collector's editions via pre-orders that were available after the initial order period was closed on the Best Buy website, then briefly re-opened for the various reasons above. I also had a success day-of launch for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Master Edition by going into the store and securing one of their backup "no longer needed" replacement surplus. It's not uncommon you'll see an on/off influx of the pre-order being available again for brief spurts around launch as a result of people's cards being declined (this is on their side, not Best Buy's - so if you have a valid card, there's no need to worry). Hopefully this helps alleviate some of your concerns.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have my doubts, but when I ask questions to the live chat agents, I get some generic "Please don't worry answer." Here's hoping, as I've been assured that if you place an order there's a copy reserved for you, but the answers I've gotten have seemed a little sketchy.
