That can't be right. I asked to talk to the store manager and he was no help either. He did give me a number to the corporate office to call. 1 800 966-6546

Store employees generally know nothing until they absolutely need to know it because it doesn't interest them personally. This includes managers. Even the corporate office might not even know or care yet.

The BB pickup $1 off works this way :

When you check out, it defaults to store pickup. Instead pick the shipping option.

Then you'll see besides the store pickup option a green $1 OFF.

Go back and choose pickup at store and you get a buck off.

To some people like me, saving a buck goes a long way especially when it comes to video games which are only for entertainment value and not feeding or putting clothes on real human beings.

That plus he was dealing with Walmart employees. Best Buy, Barnes and Noble and even Target generally seem to employ relatively intelligent people with communication skills. Walmart on the other hand... doesn't. I've spoken with Walmart employees in the entertainment section who don't know what a blu-ray disc is. Many of them don't seem to know how to look things up at all in their store computer. I talked to one woman at the customer service counter who, while pleasant enough, did not know what an SKU number is. Expecting them to know about the availability of items not yet even in stock must be absolutely mind blowing to many of them.

This is how jacked up Gamestop is.


So I called the GS I pre ordered my game from (Pre order in January) last week just to verify that i could get the game on the 23rd. I was told yes that was correct.

So I called again this evening just to be 100% sure and the guy on the phone told me no they'll have it on the 27th.


LOL these corporate companies can't get their employees on the same page.

Do Mlb 18 qualify for the $10 certificate with GCU at best buy or not?

It is not part of the $10 certificate for preordering.

Only active game for that promotion at the most moment is Far Cry 5

For those who digitally pre ordered is the preload date the 21st?
