i don't know if anyone else has this prob, but if the games don't show up as $5, add Splinter Cell (xbox) to your cart and it should work!

EDIT

****** yankeez, you and your darn editing ;)

Let me know if this works for you guys. It seems like a mistake... Does it only work if you add Splinter Cell first?

01-04-2004, 05:07 PM
yep bunny, it's 100% neccessary to have splinter (even if you don't want it, u could get $5 trade in at EB)

I just ordered 6 games, who cares if I've had them all. They were only 5 bucks :-D

Just sent my order for 5 games...25$ for 5 is just a rip off...I wonder if they'll later charge you if they find the glitch??

BunnyRabbit
01-04-2004, 07:24 PM
Just go into Best Buy and hand your paper to the closest hot chick. That way you know she knows nothing about games.. That way its practically guaranteed to work.. LMAO :D

Wow..excellent find! Im sure I will get a email from best buy saying there was a problem with my order and it had to be cancelled tomorrow though.

Chances are, the orders will get cancelled. You don't wanna do the store pick-up because then they'll actually tell you that your order was screwed up. They always have stuff like this online where they make a mistake. The only time you ever actually get the deal you found is if you were one of the very first to find it, and not even all of them do that. It's still worth a shot though. I ordered 4 games.

Yea, I'm not worrying about this. I tried and they were all on back order. By then they'll probably realize their mistake.

As of right now I still havent got one of those emails about my order and my account page doesnt reflect the order either. IM guessing no go....

They don't even have Splinter Cell on their website anymore! It gives some kind of error when you click on the link to get to it.

heres my update: this morning, still no email. called BB.com and the guy said my order is still going through (not cancelled!) and i just have to wait for the actual store that im picking up the games from to send me that conf. email when its ready...so i guess it looks good...maybe my store is just slow?

anyone else have any luck? im waiting for a backordered splinter cell and sega GT in the mail, and 7 games to pick up in-store.

Yankeez
01-05-2004, 12:55 PM

This totally stinks! I think for people who did get them that the orders will be cancelled, there must be a glitch in the splinter cell page (they got rid of it) and now it wont work! bummer....did anyone actually GET the games yet?

01-05-2004, 04:43 PM

Check with Target once in a while I got during Christmas. Unreal, GR, Splinter Cell for $14.00 a piece and had a $9.00 Rebate included. So I got them for $4.00 a Piece no shipping charges.

still no conf. email, checked my status online, said it was ready to pick up, called bb.com said something was wrong with my card (all my info was correct), called my store, they said it was ready, i went, and i left with 7 games :D still waiting for a backordered splinter cell and sega gt. says my order is in process. i was one of the first to place my order before everyone and their moms found out about it and before anything was backordered. (splinter cell already was but thats it)

*Note, people post that it was a "special promotion" just so you will call bestbuy and give them problems.

I just called customer service myself and the lady read me a memo saying that there was an error on the website and all orders will be cancelled. Even if you got a confirmation email, your order can still be easily cancelled. I'm guessing, the only way you'll probably get these games is if you ordered your games 3-4 days ago when the error first came and then went to the store and got the games before the stores were told of the error.
