After tediously refreshing this page for 3 days, I finally had success. Some tips: the “coming soon” button seems to become “preorder” a handful of times each day, at random times. It seems usually about every 1.5 to 3 hours. Upon clicking “preorder” you’re put in a line. It seems priority is given to whomever gets in line first (obviously). Usually you remain in line for about 30 seconds. Next, it will ask you to login (yes, even if you’re already logged in), and send a verification code to your phone. It’s very important to do this step as quickly as possible, because it seems you’re still technically “in line”, so whoever acts quickest, gets priority. I had numerous attempts where immediately after doing the login & phone verification, it said the item sold out. If you act quickly enough, it will put the item in your cart and provide 10 minutes to check out. VERY IMPORTANT: do not change the in-store pickup option. I tried switching to the ship option and it wouldn’t let me checkout, or switch back to in-store pickup. So that ended up being a wasted opportunity. I learned my lesson and kept in-store selected the next time, and checkout went smoothly. Good luck to everyone and hope this helps clarify things for you!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.There is no waitlist with Best Buy. Did you mean the Bethesda Shop webstore? They offer a waitlist whereas they email everyone when (or rather "if") they offer more. Best Buy does not offer that. It is entirely random to my knowledge unless they have put in a place a similiar waiting list notification but I don't see anything like that on my screen. I see "Coming Soon" which is a common placeholder Best Buy uses. It already was offered on announcement day which was last Sunday and then more were offered Monday and then again on Tuesday. How many Best Buy has to offer to their customers is only knowledge Best Buy and Bethesda has, that info isn't shared to customers. Remember this is a very limited edition and while more may be come available, there is a chance that all pre-orders have taken up the allocated stock Best Buy has. I would recommend to keep watching the Best Buy site, if you go to the product listing and click "Save" it will add it to your saved items section and then you can go straight there to check it every so often. When I have seen them up for per-order it has been in the late morning around 11am pacific time but that isn't a guarantee, they could release stock (IF they have more) at any time. Good luck though and keep trying when you can, it may pay off and you are one of the lucky ones.
