I need this email. I'm sad now

Me too.. This is an amazing deal.

 

[DryvBy]

Now that's worth it. $120, no.

But I guess this is only for select few so this is kind of useless for most

First Walmart, then Best Buy!

Amazon, you are only worthy of my money!

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

I got it too. 20% off all new games? Do I need to re-sign up?

 

[Brain of J]

I didn't get the email but it's good to see the big box stores join the fight to compete with the online retailers. The more they compete over our loyalty the better for us. I expect some crazy deals in December.

 

[Chairhome]

Is anyone who got the email a current member? I'm elite plus and a gamers unlocked member, hopefully I can call CS about it if I don't get it.

 

[Snookie]

Bummer. I'm elite plus but i havent gotten this email

 

[killdatninja]

My membership expired in September, I got the email earlier today. Definitely taking this up.

 

[Joeki11a]

wannabe Gamestop

isnt Best Buy in the myst of closing down soon...

 

[macewank]

Just got this as well. My membership had just lapsed in August and I was having no luck figuring out how to reup the membership.

I was lukewarm to the 20% off idea at $120 because Best Buy is right down the street and I buy enough day 1 titles to make it worth it..

For $30? how in the hell could I possibly refuse.

 

[SnakeEyez]

So wait you just need to have been in Best Buys gamers club before to get this email? I signed up around June, I want in on this.

I believe you need to be an unlocked member

It sounds like this is only for people whose membership expired. That's a pretty good way to shaft your current customers

I believe current unlocked members get it automatically or something like that

Not even close.

 

[illmatic22]

Got the email, very glad. Back to paying $50 or less for new games, its PS2 all over again

 

[macewank]

Maybe?

There's nothing that indicates that this 20% won't be given to current members as well. Now, when it comes time for renewal... we'll have to see, but right now I don't see anyone getting the shaft.

 

[Washed_Out]

Nope, I'm an unlocked member and got the email. Just in time for next-gen, so I'll put this to use in a few weeks.

 

[Cloudy]

I just got this email!

20% off of new games for 2 years for $30 is totally worth imo.

I buy most of my video games on BB and have been a premium costumer for the past year.

I got it too. Kind of a no-brainer as I buy all my games there

 

[AlphaStriker]

This is a great deal, plus the $10 pre-order credit.

Well Best Buy just got my business for the next two years.

 

[Birbo]

I'm currently a member and I got the email.

Edit: The text on mine is slightly different. The first paragraph reads:

Now Gamers Club Unlocked is even better. As a member, you save 20% on new video games at Best Buy ® .¹ This new benefit will replace the 1-year subscription to @Gamer magazine. However, as an active member you will continue to get the magazine through May of next year.

 

[molnizzle]

How the hell did I not get this email? I've been Platinum Silver + GCU for over two years now.

wtf.

You're not a cool kid.

 

[JaseMath]

I want this email. My Elite Plus membership expires in Feb.!

 

[CaptainZombie]

I'm not signed up for this yet, but I am an Elite Plus and GC Unlocked. I did receive the email.

I login to my BBY acct on BBY.com to preorder AC4 and Madden for PS4. They both come to $47.99 each so I ended up preordering both. Guess I'll be returning my Killzone tomorrow and rebuy it at the $47.99. This is really crazy. Are they starting this promo early if you are an Elite Plus?

 

[molnizzle]

You're not a cool kid.

I have a Best Buy credit card too. -_-

EDIT: Holy shit, I read the post above and did a test:

Nice!

...too bad I'm going digital.

I'm in your exact same boat no dice

 

[hwy_61]

This is for all new games, right? It's not just for preorders?

 

[Birbo]

Wonder if the 20% will stack with matching next week's Target deal?

This doesn't make sense. I am close to my Elite Plus cap by $900, is that why maybe they have given this to me? Are you guys close to your total?

 

[molnizzle]

This is for all new games, right? It's not just for preorders?

CoD: Ghosts for PS4 isn't a pre-order.

There is a leak of the Best Buy ad for next week that says they give you $25 in rewards for buying 3 PS4 games so I'm not sure they'll match the Target deal.

 

[molnizzle]

You gotta add to cart to see the 20% off price.

I'm valid through February '15, close to capping for beyond that.

I didn't even pay $30 though. I did nothing, received no email. New games are just 20% off for me now!

 

[hwy_61]

CoD: Ghosts for PS4 isn't a pre-order.

It is for all new games

Thank ya fellas!

 

[dEvAnGeL]

my membership ended in july, i got this email today to, gonna renew it tomorrow, best buy has a deal that if you buy 3 ps4 games you get a 25 dollar gift card, that plus the the 20% discount is pretty much a buy 2 get 1 free

 

[molnizzle]

Doesn't apply to accessories:

Ah well. Good for those sticking with physical, I guess.

 

[tokyostomp]

Hmmmm..

53.39* per game after 9% Los Angeles Sales Tax

Decisions, Decisions

*Assuming new game is priced at 59.99

 

[dragonflys545]

GOT THE EMAIL! My Gamers Club just expired! Perfect timing

 

[nikos]

Really hope I get this offer. I've been Elite Plus (Premier Silver) for the last few years.

 

[dragonflys545]

4) 20% discount can only be used for three copies of each new game across any platform. For example, you could purchase two copies for PlayStation 4 and one for Xbox 360.

Does this mean 3 copies of the same game or just 3 games?

 

[krae_man]

All these retailers doing crazy preorder deals and Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo can't sell stuff digitally at launch for less then MSRP?

3 copies of the same game

Thanks.

 

[Bowler]

I'll take the coupon if someone isn't going to reup. I was skipped from this as I tried to become a unlocked member in august and it was canceled

 

[PIMPBYBLUD]

Got the email as well so I'm in. Going to cancel my preorders at GameStop and go to BB instead!

 

[Foxix Von]

Sad panda here. I'm an unlocked subscriber... nothing here. Brilliant deal for the people who got sent the email, dang, congrats. :lol

 

[Petrae]

Did Best Buy cancel @Gamer? I know that was Andy Eddy's brainchild, so it'd be sad if it's killed off so soon.

Andy was unceremoniously dumped from the @Gamer project a few weeks ago. Deserved a much better fate.

 

[Neuromancer]

Where's my email ya dinguses?!

 

[Effigenius]

My gamers club expired about 3 months ago. I got the email. I'm back, baby!

 

[Foxix Von]

Wait, so what happens to my @gamer sub if it's just... gone now?

 

[hwy_61]

Hey guys, wait until the 10th to use this promo. I guess that's the official date that it starts. Apparently some folks on CAGs that upgraded today only got a year instead of two.

 

[Jhriad]

My gamers club expired about 3 months ago. I got the email. I'm back, baby!

Elite Plus, $5500 spent so far this year, and current Gamer club member... No email

Fuck you Best Buy.
