oh it is, I've already used it several times.

OK, so I tried to use the coupon on a $14.99 game and it didn't work. Maybe it's just been erroneously set to $19.99 minimum then.

Good. Switched over my Pokemon Preorder since I get the RZ points.

Trying to see if there is anything I want at $19.99.
 
How is Best Buy's shipping usually compared to Future Shop?

With Future Shop I usually get games on the release date. Can I expect the same from Best Buy? I have never used them before.

Hmmm, think I'll try switching my Kirby Dream Collection from FS to BB to get the $5 off plus a few RZ points vs redoing my E3 BB Paper Mario pre-order and just getting $5 off.

bloody hell, apparently it also stacks with the $5 discounts from normal pre-orders

pre-ordered Persona 4 Golden for $24.99 now

EDIT: And Paper Mario $24.99

Ni No Kuni $44.99

Do you have multiple Rewards Zone cards or something? It says one code per member.

Edit: Humm it also says it excludes preorders.

It *says* that, yes... >_>

For all intents and purposes, Future Shop and Best Buy should be virtually identical in every way, outside of their chain-specific promotions.

I love that so much of the fine print is wrong so far.

1 item/1 coupon per member - nope, works multiple times
$29.99 and up - nope, works on $19.99 and up
No pre-orders - nope, works on pre-orders

Daaamn, Best Buy and Future Shop just keep (accidentally?) giving us awesome gaming deals

I've pre-ordered Kirby's Dream Collection, Pokemon Black 2, Persona 4 Golden, and Paper Mario Sticker Star. I'm thinking of adding a few PS360 games, but they'll probably be <$40 by Boxing Day anyways.

Why don't you join though? It's free and you get points that goes towards getting $5/10/20 certificates (your choice, I like $20 since there's no point in lower for me) that you can use on almost everything in-store. There's no reason to not be a member.

Yay, they finally decided to stop being jerks and let the coupons apply to $29.99 games!

IT WORKS ON POKEMON, CHANGE YOUR PRE-ORDERS BACK TO BB!!!

lolol

Future Shop and Best Buy playing mind games with us :(

It's funny, the 15$ rebate only worked for the french version of Pokemon for me. I click on Black version and it still showed 34$...

Otherwise, two french versions for 20$ each, wow.

The BB website seems to have problems, I get lots of errors navigating the site.

Oh, interesting. I'm guessing that's because the French versions don't qualify for the 800RZ points; they just get the standard $5 off for pre-ordering. The English versions would be $24.99 + 800RZ.

Chances of BB canceling these orders?

I don't want to cancel my FS order and then BB cancels mine.
When in doubt don't cancel your other order. I have no problem in stopping at the store to return my extra copy for a refund.

I re-ordered Kirby at BB and cancelled my FS order, because there isn't much time left to cancel that. I re-ordered Paper Mario, and I'm keeping both orders for now in case they cancel my latest one. But in the past, I don't think they've cancelled orders when they've made a mistake in allowing things to stack that shouldn't have.

Do I really need to print out the coupon, or can they scan it off my phone?

I don't want to waste paper, and my printer is out of ink.

Phone probably works, they can type the code in?

I'm probably gonna try to use the coupon to get $10 back for my Last Story order with them when I do my pick ups after work.

If they don't want it on your phone then you can print it off in the store. The one I go to (Scarborough Town Centre) has a PC/printer set up for customers to print off Reward Zone certificates.

I just kept my FS order in case one of them gets damaged. I'll refund the extra one. Hard to trust those bubble envelopes 100%.

You don't need the paper, I once used a RZ certificate without having to print it. I guess they will just enter the code manually.

Other than that, I guess I never ordered so much stuff.

I guess I'll pick up GT5XL. Nothing else interests me, already have the big ones for this month pre'd: NHL, BL2 and TL2.

Wait, does the PC version of BL2 include the steelbook at FS?

Good point , just signed up.

I have a temp member ID , ill probably wait until i get the card and re-do the order , hopefully i get it before the code expires.

If not , oh well i still have it oredered anyways =P

Edit - @ RS4 - i've never seen a pc version steelbook ever.

Of course i buy mostly digital but i highly doubt it.

Nice, just preordered Paper Mario and the new Layton for $25 each. I think I'll hold on to my $30 FS preorders for the time being, just to make sure I still have them in case BB notices their screwup and cancels these orders.

Thinking about picking up Jak and Daxter for $10 as I've never played it, or Mortal Kombat for $20 as I've always wanted it. Help?

Just signed up for rewords zone.

How does it work exactly? I'm trying to pre-order Revengeannce and its saying that there is a bonus of 800 points ($10), does that get applied to the purchase?

You don't get that until the game ships and it is for a future purchase.
