What's up Vgchartz?
So why is it I stopped pre-ording from Gamestop? First I never liked the way gamestop upsold me on everysingle thing, I mean everything, I felt as if I could not leave the store until I signed up to donate my organs to Gamestop. However Gamestop had the best pre-order system in the industry, captured a lot of exclusive deals with Software companies for bundles and DLC.
I however have always been a big fan of Bestbuy. I'm a Eliteplus Member, which means I spend way to much money at their store. However in the past they would make you pre-order with cards that where not attached to your account. The other problem I had was the staff not understanding the concept of pre-orders and sadly they still don't but as I understand the system perfect, I save way more then the average gamer.
First thing Bestbuy has done to win me over. They attached pre-orders to your account through the rewards members program (which is free). In the members program you can do as you do at Gamestop, add as much money as you want, at different times and keep track of all your pre-orders online through their website, on your members account.
2nd, A big portion of games you pre-order get 500 in reward members points when purchased, or a 10 dollar certificate you can use toward anything in bestbuy. You don't have to print it out either, just ask them at checkout and they can apply it there. Here is a list of the games currently that offer this promotion.
