Uh, the discount should appear in the BB basket right?

 

[AlphaTwo00]

You basically pre ordered almost every game coming out next year. Thats impressive.

Things that weren't preordered were actually carried over from 2014. My R6: Siege is coming next week, was actually from back then when it was still Patriots, which will be coming to me at $45.

As many have noticed, it's far better just to order everything now with the discount, and drop them when you feel like the game is going to suck, or that you aren't going to keep them.

30% off on Nintendo games is a no brainer as well, given they either just go out of print or stay at the same price.

 

[Stage On]

gonna need a template

edit: a template on how to request that happening. thought I should clarify. lol

All I did was ask this

Would it be possible to please add a second game to my order so I could take advantage of the current preorder 2 games and get 30% off premotion?

He asked for a link to the game which I provided then my order number after that all I had to do was confirm I was the real account holder and bamb it was done

 

[doctorcdcs]

it should appear during checkout where you enter your credit card info, etc.

 

[Reveirg]

I think I only want the Dragon Quests from BestBuy, but the website is taking forever to load. This is running all day, right? There's no rush?

I had a bunch of issues with my desktop browser with bestbuy.ca. Use the mobile app if you can, went through without a problem.

Edit: You the man. Well that works.

 

[Damax]

YES! I already had a Zelda Twilight Princess HD special edition preordered on Amazon so I was able to get customer service to add a second game to my order and apply the 30% off deal to it by asking very nicely!

Now if the price goes down *fingers crossed* I'll still get the lower price AND the 30% off

I managed to do the same thing, I added Kingdom Hearts 2.8 PS4 to my order.

 

[moyashimon]

How do you get the 30% discount from Amazon?

nice! I'll try to do that later.

now that I think about it, if any of you have your Xenoblade chronicles X SE pre-orders on amazon, you should try and see if you can get the discount applied to that as well if you add another game that qualifies.

How do you get the 30% discount from Amazon?

http://www.amazon.ca/gp/browse/?&node=13156111011

add any two items from the list and it should give you the discount at the checkout screen.

It's not just those games... It doesn't list Zelda Wii U there but I got the discount. I think it's just preorders in general.

This was chat CSR and not Phone I assume. No big hurry for me. I'll call this in sometime in the afternoon when I get off from work

 

[mullet2000]

Yuppp, same here. I've always found it odd how inconsistent amazon's support people are.

Edit: Yup, started a new chat and the rep did it within two minutes, no questions asked. Didn't even have to add another game to the order.

 

[doctorcdcs]

the reps i talked to wont let me

man, nothing is going right for you tonight.

It's not just those games... It doesn't list Zelda Wii U there but I got the discount. I think it's just preorders in general.

I think it's because the rep doesn't realize it's not part of the sale because it's amazon.ca being amazon.ca. lol

edit: case in point with the 2 replies above mine

 

[blue_phazon]

I may have missed out on $20 Xenoblade, but $55 isn't bad for how big the game is.

I also ordered Scalebound and FF15 on Amazon.

One interesting thing to note is that the Xbox One version on FF15 is cheaper than the PS4 version for some reason.

 

[FrsDvl]

the reps i talked to wont let me

Same here, not too bothered, since i already have the 30% off on it, was going to try for 60% off. She did however seemed to be glad to cancel the order for me, had to tell her no about 5 times!

 

[Grimsen]

I was having trouble getting the discount to appear at BB, so I went with Amazon.

Got the 20$ bloodborne (backordered, but whatever), Far Cry Primal and ff7.

I wonder if it's a drop in video games sales that's spurring promos like these to come up more often.

 

[kevin1025]

All right, pre-order done, went with trusty old Amazon.

Far Cry: Primal (PS4)
Quantum Break (Xbox One)
Star Ocean 5 (PS4)
Dead Island 2 (PS4)
Recore (Xbox One)
South Park: The Fractured But Whole (PS4)
Final Fantasy VII Remake (PS4)
Nier Automata (PS4)
Gears of War 4 (Xbox One)
World of Final Fantasy (PS4)
Homefront: The Revolution (PS4)
Scalebound (Xbox One)
Mafia III (PS4)
Zero Time Dilemma (Vita)

Add that to the E3 pre-orders, and I'll be buried in games by next fall!

 

[ahdurian]

man, nothing is going right for you tonight.

seriously
missed it twice with a "postal code" error which apparnetly is just an OoS error

then can't get discount on TP on Amazon

oh well

 

[i-Jest]

In all the rush to preorder I didn't realize Amazon was offering the PS4 version of Megaman Legacy Collection while Bestbuy was offering the 3DS version. I have a feeling more games will be added on Amazon's side. I hope Bestbuy doesn't add games the day after the promotions ends again.

That would be a dick move.

 

[mullet2000]

Start another chat and ask again. This happens a lot on amazon, the reps are very inconsistent. Try another time or two and someone will do it. I've never had to ask more than one additional time after getting denied something by a rep.

 

[doctorcdcs]

well, you can always try to ask another CSR on amazon. some people on here have done that with orders in the past that they couldn't get discounts on and they just ask a different CSR to do it and sometimes it works. try it when you wake up and see if the results are different for you.

edit: pretty much what was just just above me!

 

[doctorcdcs]

sorry for the double post but:

best buy's order history is BACK UP

i can see my orders now

 

[Stage On]

the reps i talked to wont let me

Dang it I hate how inconsistant and millage may vary Amazon customer service is. Sometimes you get the good ones who seem to actually know how to do their job properly and then other times you get people who are compeltely worthless. *sigh*

Sorry for getting your hopes up :/

This was chat CSR and not Phone I assume. No big hurry for me. I'll call this in sometime in the afternoon when I get off from work

Well Phone wouldn't be open at this time of night so I had no other choice but to use chat since e-mail would be way too slow to cut it.

 

[the3ye]

Be careful though. They have access to your support chat history. Recently I had problems because od that.

 

[mullet2000]

They do, but worst case scenario is basically you feel a little embarrassed when they bring it up. Don't ask like 10 times but it's worth a shot going for a second try after being denied.

 

[i-Jest]

Your absolutely right. I'm way to tired. Gonna go to bed. Happy hunting yall.

 

[fooish101]

No luck with trying to get Zelda CE attached on a new order...

I might try again tomorrow, and if I get shutdown, cancel my new order.

Did anyone else have any luck beyond the few above?

 

[Kieli]

Oof. $20 for Bloodborne, and it's only be 8 months since release.

That's pretty bomba...

 

[ROUGE_BLOCK]

30% discount on preorders being back up is awesome. Fixed a terrible 15% one for Mass Effect Andromeda and added Gears 4 to the 2016 list.

Did you fix that 15% off on Best buy or amazon?

and you fixed it how? did you just cancel the old order and just re-order it with the updated discounts?

 

[kitzkozan]

Just ordered the Odin Sphere remaster with the art book for some reason lol. If the regular version is $80, might as well opt for the big one for $70. Guilty Gear Xrd Revelator should be solid, an improvement over Xrd given the new mechanics.

Got Twilight Princess HD for 70$ at BB along with DQVII and VIII for the time being, but would rather opt for amazon.

 

[Black Republican]

muhaha, got em!

Got amazon to reduce my Zelda Twilight HD Amiibo edition to just $70

CSR: Nandini got it done for me no prob

Sorry for getting your hopes up :/.

probably will try anothe rrep when i get home from work tomorrow night or something.
2am...to late/early to care anymore lol
im just more pissed about hte Xenoblade CE thing...BB can't even use proper error codes, and that got my hope up more since it was in my cart for so long =/

 

[Fularu]

muhaha, got em!


Got amazon to reduce my Zelda Twilight HD Amiibo edition to just $70

Mine was reduced to 56$ all in

I copied and pasted what Stage On said, and it worked. Sounds like you're trying to add Zelda to another order? Try asking to add a game to the Zelda order, not to move the Zelda order.

 

[tiijj]

How did you get zelda tp reduced to 30%? It's not part of the 30% off sale.

 

[kinger]

I copied and pasted what Stage On said, and it worked. Sounds like you're trying to add Zelda to another order? Try asking to add a game to the Zelda order, not to move the Zelda order.

That's what I tried, but was told:
1) Already placed orders can't be modified, have to make a new one
and then:
2) It doesn't qualify because it's not one of the games listed in the promo link (even though the link's missing all of the nintendo games)

 

[Black Republican]

damn Dragon quest 7/8 3DS games arent up on amazon

anyone know a release date? Q2/3?

 

[ahdurian]

#2 is what i got from all 3 reps i talked to lol

 

[blue_phazon]

How did you get zelda tp reduced to 30%? It's not part of the 30% off sale.

ANY game that you can pre-order counts.

It's NOT just the list of games you see when you click on the deal.

 

[MarkusRJR]

Not sure if I want to pre-order Twilight Princess HD. I feel like it'll get price changed to $80 closer to release. I would pre-order at amazon, but for some reason TP is listed as unavailable there.

 

[firehawk12]

I can't remember, Amazon E3 was only 20%?

It's going to be a pain in the ass to reorder these games if so.

 

[fooish101]

Thanks!

Hah.. it took three attempts to do so, but Stage On and Masmajora have the right way to do it.

For the first attempt, I asked them to join two orders and was told that Zelda wasn't covered under the offer.

For the 2nd attempt, I used Stage On's line of "Would it be possible to please add a second game to my order so I could take advantage of the current preorder 2 games and get 30% off promotion?" But when I tried to get them to join the two orders I was told Zelda was out of stock and they couldn't do so.

3rd attempt, I used Stage On's script and asked them to add a game to my zelda order with the 30% off, gave them the link to the new game, and they did it without a problem.

Hope this helps!

 

[vulva]

10% off with one pre-order
20% off with 2
30% off with 3+

 

[Sealtest]

Nope 30 for 3+ which is why people went with them over BB.

AND they didn't make us use codes.

 

[Fularu]

No, it doesn't work for World of Warcraft Legion

 

[Interface23]

Neat I ordered Just Cause 3 and Dead Island 2 (which is never coming out). Didn't get the promo so I contacted chat and now both games are somehow 31.97

 

[firehawk12]

Ah, neat.

Also Odin Sphere CE is eligible for discount, so yay.

You just asked them to add a game on the list, did u mention the promotion or not?
