BestBuy Wins for Collector’s Editions
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.(tl;dr) In summary, Legends of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is as certain for game of the year as Elden Ring was in 2022 and this is a fine collection for interested fans. The important thing to note, however is outstanding service BestBuy provides, giving collectors of new limited editions a fighting chance at securing their order during a time when scalping has gotten notoriously bad. Firstly, Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom itself is a fantastic game. With so much to explore and do in the game, it will provide entertainment for years to come. I only recently played Breath of the Wild, yet I was almost more excited than the die-hard fan who got me into it. A little over 2 hours in and I’m already blown away by what the game achieves. Secondly, the Collector’s Edition; for any die-hard Zelda, its a great set. If special steel-book game cases, design art books, exclusive (high-quality) pins, or nice metal prints to display are your thing, you’ll have zero complaints to write about. The items contained within this edition got my excited to get my hands into the game and keeps me thinking about it while I’m not playing. However, what I’d most like to comment on is the service from BestBuy itself. Over the years, I’ve collected many limited editions for my favorite series and, as anyone who can relate within the past few years will know, “scalpers” have become a problem in fans acquiring products like this. I’ve experienced it plenty in the past. This time around, though, I put my trust in our friends at BestBuy. And that trust paid off: as the release date approached, a “launch countdown” was added to the game’s page. Within 5 minutes of this countdown reaching 0, I was able to “snipe” a copy of this edition. From my understanding, such as most vendors that allow pre-orders as soon as a listing is posted are prone to, the listing was sold out within a matter of hours. The point is this: for avid collectors of limited editions for new entires in their favorite franchises, BestBuy wins. Granted, fans will need some patience and still compete with scalpers, but BestBuy gives you a fighting chance. Once my order arrived (with a speedy delivery), the product itself was in perfect condition. See for yourself in the pictures.

As a fan of the Zelda franchise, I was excited to play this latest addition to the series and it did not disappoint.

The game offers a challenging and immersive experience, with a variety of puzzles, combat sequences, and boss battles that keep the player engaged and on their toes. The game also allows for a lot of exploration, with a vast world to discover and many secrets to uncover. One of the game's standout features is its story.

Collector's edition worth getting
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Product was larger than expected. The art book was made very well and larger than I was expecting. It came with both the steel and original case which is nice if you don't care too much for the steel case. Was shocked at beautiful and sturdy the poster was. The pins are really nice as well. As for the game, I've been enjoying it quite a lot. Definitely a big improvement over Breath of The Wild while still keeping alot from it. Even with the same map, the landscape has been changed up a bit to make it fresh to explore while also making you feel nostalgic while visiting old sites. The new underground area is huge and treat to explore even if it can be a challenge at times when you first start the game. The new crafting feature seems to have endless possibilities and is only limited to what your mind can come up with. I do wish they would've not had the breakable weapons come back but the fusion feature sorta helps with that. All in all the game is amazing and the high quality goodies in this collectors edition is worth getting

Good collectors edition, high quality items
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is definitely worth the money, the pins are high quality, the art book clearly had a lot of work out into it, and it includes not only the game and steelbook, but also the original game case. The tin poster is nice, but I won't be able to display it. High quality purchase

||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A follow-up that's fun and better in many ways to breath of the wild the gameplay and experience has been breathtaking to me playing in handheld mode. You will get the best out of the game the colors the background the horse Epona looks very beautiful in the OLED screen of the Nintendo switch. I've clocked in many hours to this game and still haven't beat Ganondorf, but I want to get as many hearts as I can before I take on him. Do I recommend this game? Of course, I do and those who got a hold of this bundle will enjoy it as much as I do. It's worth every penny you paid for it. If you love The Legend of Zelda and our collector like me, you got to hold of this bundle the Nintendo switch and the controller keep gaming if you're a gamer and I do recommend this bundle if you didn't get it, that's fine. Pick up the game itself and play Tears of the kingdom. It won't disappoint you it's a great game that brings out the true potential of the OLED screen if you got the OLED model switch. Once again, it's an amazing game and I recommended 100%

Q: QuestionI noticed that this listing has gone in and out of stock the past 12 hours or so; the listing says Coming Soon though. Will this be available to pre-order again, or will we have to wait until release day for the next opportunity to purchase? Thank you
Asked by TheGreat.
- A:Answer I'll make this answer a general PSA since so many people are asking this: I've been watching this collector's edition closely since it was announced, as so far as I can tell no retailer has been officially given the green light to open pre-orders. Any ebay listing you've seen so far is preliminary in nature to bait people into spending double price in the hopes that they'll be able to nab a copy when in reality no one has these available yet. The 20 second spans of time we see it here as available are most likely due to BestBuy updating the page and the pre-order button inadvertently being made active before it's supposed to. Technological errors happen, case-in-point my wife and I went to a store to buy a dvd, and on both the shelf AND at the register it came up erroneously as $60,696. It took them 2 hours to fix the issue before we could purchase the movie for its correct price. At least we got a good laugh out of it with the employees. The main lesson is: more likely than not this has not been made available yet (Nintendo's official site doesn't even have a listing yet), so just keep your eye on it for now and be patient if you can, and try to resist the urge to resort to the scourge of scalpers.

Q: QuestionIs this item already sold out? I see scalpers on Ebay selling the item stating they bought it at Best Buy and yet the button states "Coming Soon".
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer BestBuy releases things like this in waves. Unfortunately, after the first wave is public, every scalper in the universe knows it's happening and you'll never get past them because they use clicking scripts that can add to cart and check out in milliseconds. I spent 4 hours last night constantly refreshing, had it in my cart at least 4 times with all my info pre-saved and checking out in less than 10 seconds, and every time it was removed from my cart because it sold out. Why these sites make no attempt to prevent scalping is beyond me. No excuse for it in 2023.

Q: QuestionHas anyone been able to successfully reserve this in the past week or two? (last two weeks of April)
Asked by flyboy.
- A:Answer Nope. I'm using multiple apps and extensions to add it to cart for the past week. I had about 50 attempts to add item in 1-2 seconds after it's available. It always ask me to reenter password of the account + sms code. And result is either 1. print message "Item Sold out", or 2. button "Pre-Order" disappear from the page, and product not added to the cart, refresh page - it prints "Coming soon" button...
Answered by Serzh
Q: QuestionWhy doesn't Bestbuy have CAPTCHA everytime a customer put their orders to cart? It would make bots useless and make scalpers go down the drain.
Asked by RR.
- A:Answer Simple answer, if it sells out, it sells for more. Money is money to online retailers. Sad truth, but they would actually have to invest money into better cyber security. They won't unless it hurts them, or user data gets stolen (also hurting their brand). Even then CAPTCHA and reCAPTCHA barely stays ahead of bots. The real solution is to make the Human Challenge/interaction more difficult, and the Bot Challenge more expensive by imbedding hidden Honeypot elements (HTML code) not visible to Human users. That Bots fall victim to. Like fakeout clickable elements (links) that only the bot is scrapping for.. Ooooorr.. just supply more product, so people don't feel incentivized to resell for double. Best case for all of us, just DON'T BUY FROM EBAY resellers, that DON'T have item on hand. The consumers shouldn't have to do the leg work of problem solving an ever extrapolating issue. And so as the market continues to consolidate retailers, speak with your money, say it with your chest, cause money talks.. and for that reason I guess I'll just have to pass. I'm sorry for everyone out there that just wants to enjoy something they love, I hope you get lucky. All we ever do this for is love.

Q: QuestionThanks, scalpers, for ruining my son's birthday, do any of you know if this will be back in stock and not for one million times more expensive?
Asked by DisappointedCustomer.
- A:Answer Check your local GameStop on release day. Im a employee and have heard that its very likely we will get some in store on release day. GOOD LUCK!
Answered by anonymoussga
Q: QuestionWhy do I get asked to sign in every time I get through the line, even though I checked “keep me signed in”? Why do I also get asked to verify myself with my phone number each time as well?
Asked by frozia.
- A:Answer Because their system is trash. No other explanation will do. It's like they're trying to make it harder for normal people to get it. When you get in line too it's already too late. It's just a big stressful stupid system.
Answered by PatC
Q: QuestionWhen will I be able to pre-order the deluxe edition?
Asked by Kerlly.
- A:Answer It's been available for 3 days. but these terrible people known as scalpers take them in a few seconds. I've been looking at several different stores and all I see are angry people spamming the Q&As. and I don't know what the limit is for purchasing these is. but at target, you can buy three at a time. there is no reason people need more than one for resale.
