Any experience preordering through BestBuy.com?

[CubsFan]

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum.

Does anyone have any experience preordering games through BestBuy.com? Do they ship on the day that they list as the release date? They're listing MVP for $29.99 and while I ordinarily would buy through EB, I have a Best Buy gift card I want to use and don't have time to get to an actual Best Buy store during the week.

I'm pretty sure that you can't use a giftcard online, so that most likely will not work. Usually the Best Buy stores get the games on the Thursday of the week they release, but I've never pre-ordered through them.

This is why I should read the gift card before making a post. Thanks for your help.

Best Buy actually gets games the same day that EB and Gamestop do. It's just that it typically takes them a long time to receive them and get them out on the floor. If you annoy them enough, they'll grab it from the warehouse. The ads may say that a certain game is available on Thursday, but they actually get it one or two days before that.
