Because of this and many other issue with games stop, I got the Gamer Rewards card ($30 for 2 years) from best buy and pay $48 for any new game ( they take 20% off any new game purchased). This includes online orders and special editions, so my doom special edition took $24 off the original $120.. Not only that if they have flash sales which they do all the time, you still get the deal off the sale.
When Star Wars came out they dropped it to $30 for a week. they take 20% off that as well, meaning I only paid $24 for the game. The deal is awesome. Also lets not forget that if you pre-order some games, not only do you get the 20% off, you also get $10 in reward points to put towards anything you want.
However the only down side is that their in store pre-order system sucks. It is much better to do it over the internet or if you do pre-order in the store, keep the receipt handy. They can find it but it's a process. Really it comes down to the system Best buy has them use... I made this mistake a few times, even though they found my pre-order and it was all good, it did take some time. The up side is they didn't try to up sell me to random non-sense.
