Just received an email from bestbuy that my preorder for Age of Calamity release date has changed to today, then they sent me a code and I'm currently downloading it to my switch. anyone else have this happen? 

I'm 99% sure that once you download it, you won't be able to play it. 

My guess is that Best Buy is considering the release date to be the date when you can preload the game... which maybe is today. But, you won't be able to actually open the software till Nintendo does the ok. 

Out of curiosity, why would you preorder a digital copy from Best Buy? I worked there for a while, and I'm not sure I ever sold a digital game code, except occasionally as like a gift.

I did it this way because they now allow you to use your Best Buy points toward digital codes + you still get points for making the purchase. My way of sorta double dipping In cash back: Nintendo Gold Coins + Best Buy points without spending any real cash.
