8 is a better game for a beginner than 7. Get 7 after 8 if you liked it.

Go for VIII. DQVII is for DQ purists that love class changes, etc. So far alot of GAF DQ newbies regret purchasing this game as the starting point. I say start with VIII and after you like it maybe give VII a try. I love VII, but I'm a DQ fanboy.

Yup that's like $39 for each; a brand new game on day one. I love these type of promotions.

Do they have the rechargeable Switch controller caddie?

They don't charge you until the item is shipped correct?
They place a temporary hold on it in the account to see if it's there then it goes away after a few days.

Yes but they will do an authorization charge when you place the order that will go away after a few days.

Just know the authorization charge is the full amount.

Thanks for the heads up. I used this last time to pre order Mass Effect and Horizon. This time I got:
Instant Pot - 25% off with this deal (just added a $5 mixer for my soda stream to get over 100)
2nd run - Zelda Wii U and Halo Wars 2 Ultimate Edition (with GCU both add up to $90). Insane deal!

Takes 24 hours.
I caved and got a Sous Vide as well. Regularly 150, on sale for 130 and then I got $25 off that. Can't beat that!

This is very tempting. I'm planning on upgrading my PC later this year to either Skylake or Kabylake. I could save myself some money by taking advantage of this. Must resist...
Can you use the Best Buy card in Visa checkout?

Same, called them and they said to just place an order and call them back once GCU gets attached to the account for a refund of the price difference.

Struggling with what else to get besides Mass Effect Andromeda on PC. I want Gravity Rush 2 but I feel like it will drop in price pretty quickly.
I already got Spiderman, Horizon, Red Dead 2, and Nier last time this promo happened.

No, in the OP it has a list of exclusions.
Yes, you can always cancel or return the games so unless you are really short on money it's hard to say no to Nintendo games at $36 with GCU before tax at launch. It's a pretty crazy deal. Did it pretty much for any game I would be interested in. On the other hand I only pre-ordered PS4 games that I was interested in to play near release.
This is a good plan. I was thinking about skipping this and hoping the deal comes back around this time next year or in the later half of this year...
I primarily want to use this for Switch games, but also getting Horizon at launch for much cheaper. But, I gotta be responsible and work on this back log.

and I thought my 8 was pushing it lol. Just FYI, if you happen to decide to return any of those games, it will negate the discount for the other game in that orderchaosblade
Unconfirmed Member
Already dead? Zelda + Gravity Rush 2 with GCU came to $101, no extra savings.
Does not include tax.
chaosblade
Unconfirmed Member
Weird, it did before, or prorated for just below $100 for $24 in savings.
Yeah, they fixed that with this promotion. It has to be $100 before tax now.

I just put in another order a minute ago and it worked for me.
I believe Best Buy said the 21st.
Hero_of_the_Day
Member
Someone said the 21st earlier. But, the previous one ended sooner than they originally said, presumably because it was fucked and letting people use it as much as they wanted even though it was supposed to be limited to one use. Here it is again, once again saying it's limited to one use, but working over and over. So, who knows.

just bought 2x digimon world next order (me and a friend) and the fate game for a friend which meant they paid $90 for their game and since i let them use the gcu discount and i had some certificates, i paid $17 for digimon world Next Order ... I love BB.

Since I took off my zelda special edition preorder last night.. I don't see anything worth buying over $100 on the switch.
The only two games I want are zelda and mario kart, but mario kart I want digital.
All the other games I want are released in the holidays, and I just don't want to bother preordering that fucking early.

Oh I know, but all of those games seem like pretty safe bets to be good. Maybe not ARMS or 1 2 Switch but I'm gonna need some Switch games to play after I'm done with Zelda.
Also, some of those games might not even come out within the next year so it's not like I'm spending all this money at once.

So I got
Yakuza 0
Horizon
Mass Effect
and also
Persona 5 CE
South Park Fracture (includes Stick of Truth)
so 5-6 games for $190. Not bad, thank for the heads up guys.

I don't have enough time to take advantage of this deal further. Thanks OP.

This is wild.
Got Nier and REVII...thinking about placing a second order for Splatoon 2 and ARMS.
And if I do a third for Mario Odyysey and Prey, that just about covers all the upcoming games I'm interested in. Not bad! Prey seems like a risky proposition, however...
How does this deal make business sense for Visa or Best Buy?

Visa pays BB back I believe, in the hope that they make more money because people are using their credit cards more.
What's the 5$ GC you keep ordering?

It's just filler so that the deal will take place. If you just order two games, it's not enough pre tax.
It applies to the same order, but bestbuy online is pretty shitty with activating GCU in a short time. Took them a week to activate mine. If you search online you'll have a lot of people complaining about it.
Any way I can expedite it? I'd like to use it the GCU soon with the Visa Checkout.

Visa allocates a certain number of discounts and when they hit it the deal is yanked, so it could be ANY time. Last time I believe it lasted around 48 hours, probably longer this time since so many pre orders got in last time.
Purchase GCU in store or tweet them I guess.
