Re: Never Again Best Buy!!!

It's best to pre-order digitally from the PS Store. Getting codes from other retailers can always lead to issues with the code not working. If you have Best Buy gift cards, in the future you can use those to buy PSN cards and get it from the PS Store.

This needs to be stickied somewhere. I have always bought digitally from PSN.

Still no code. Called and they said check tomorrow. Ugh.

Re: Never Again Best Buy!!!

Still no code for me either. Chatted with support and they said it should be sent within 24 hours.

Re: Never Again Best Buy!!!

I haven't bought a game that isn't from the PS Store in nearly 2 years. Physical copies I rarely get anymore and other than that, it's always the store. You can't go wrong and it is an easy process. Plus I love putting a game on the queue of the PS app and have it pending already when I go to fire up my console

Re: Never Again Best Buy!!!

still haven't received my code. I did however get an email saying they are still working on it and if I haven't received it by 3/27 to respond to the email letting them know. Digital would be wonderful but with my internet it would probably take 3 days to download.

Re: Never Again Best Buy!!!

midnight pacific almost and still no code.

I think i'm done w/ preordering after this experience. Even if not for not getting the codes, it seems like the game is not fully there compared to regular release dates. By that I mean for DD, some of the vs cpu programs aren't available yet and I guess they will be after tomorrow. I'm happy i had 4 extra days, but next time I'll just wait for regular release or wait maybe 2 weeks after release to see if there is a sale somewhere.

What a complete cluster***k Best Buy is :

From Best Buy :
Good Morning Everyone –



Thanks for your patience while we’ve been working to get pre-order bonus codes sent out to everyone. At this time, all waves of codes that started going out yesterday have been sent. For those of you who’ve not yet received a code, please know that our supply of pre-order bonus codes is currently exhausted.



At this time we’re working with the vendor to have more codes generated and issued to us as quickly as possible, and expect the next waves of codes should start going out sometime tomorrow. Please accept our sincerest apologies for these unforeseen delays, and for the disappointing experiences they’ve caused. As more information becomes available I’ll continue to update this thread and keep you all in the loop.



Thank you,

Re: Never Again Best Buy!!!

I love pre-ordering from Best Buy. I pre-ordered a physical copy of Everybody's Golf from them which was supposed to come with a pre-order bonus. I redeemed the code they sent me for my bonus, but it was for the FULL digital game. I called them to tell them the code they sent me didn't work. They then sent me another code for the full game. I gave up at that point. Then a few days later, out of the blue, I got another code for the full game.

Needless to say, I sold the physical copy and two digital codes. I made money off of it. Never did get my pre-order bonus though...

Thank you,

Dang...that's crazy that they wouldn't have enough codes for the number of preorders they had right off the bat, especially since they didn't actually get the codes until yesterday.

Hope that next wave of codes goes out soon for all of you still waiting.

Re: Never Again Best Buy!!!

Agreed. Pro-tip to maximize BBY/PSN value. Buy PSN cards for the points at BBY, and use the cards on PSN for digital goods, while linking to a http://www.sonyrewards.com/en/home/welcome account for points. They usually always have 5x the points for purchases on PSN, and for every 1,000 points (that equals $10), you can get PSN cards from them as well using the points.

Also, you can get points for trophies. I got free $10/$20 PSN cards for just playing games and getting trophies.

And if you have a rewards (cash back) credit card... it is even sweeter.

Could you clarify this? I use the Best Buy Gamers Club to get 20% off of all game purchases, so I'm trying to understand how this process would match/come close. If I go to BB and buy PSN cards, I won't get the 20% off, right? So, I buy $60 of gift cards and earn 30 BB points (worth 60 cents in BB points), then I go and use the PSN cards to buy a digital copy of the game. Can you help me better understand the Sony Rewards you're talking about? If I spend $60 in PSN cards to buy a game, what do I receive?

Also, if you buy your games from BB, can you still get Sony Rewards for playing the games?

Please help me understand how the PSN/Sony Rewards approach compares to getting 20% off at BB with the Gamers Club.

Re: Never Again Best Buy!!!

I'm still waiting on my BB pre-order codes as well.

Re: Never Again Best Buy!!!

Yeah mine still says "In Progress" on the Best Buy site. I've had this happen with other games from them in the past, it sucks. I got the MVP physical edition on Friday last week.

Re: Never Again Best Buy!!!

On twitter Best Buy Support is saying more codes "should" go out tomorrow, right after the customer support agent told me on the phone "by midnight tonight" (which is what I was told twice yesterday too).

This is really frustrating and I don't even know who I'm supposed to be mad at, Best Buy or SDS?

The worst part is I only chose to order from Best Buy because it's a 2 block walk from work vs GameStop which is about 2 miles further...
