dvd-fanman, according to my local EB they are supposed to get the Xbox preorder stuff (demo/soundtrack sampler) on or around 10/8. Maybe BB will get it around then also.

Thanks for the info. I'm heading to BB this weekend to use my PCW coupons and I'll be on the lookout for it.

Just another question, suppose I put down a deposit for the game and then the week it is released I find it priced cheaper somewhere else, does BestBuy refund deposits and require you to return the freebies, or are they willing to price-match pre-orders as well as their normal merchandise?

I've never done a pre-order at BestBuy before.

I pre-ordered Rainbow Six 3 using the deal and it took less than a week to receive the demo.

It rocks and I can't wait for the game on Live.

Indeed it does. I tried that demo last night and was certainly impressed. Ditto XIII, which looks really cool and plays out very cinematically. Between those two and PoP, UbiSoft is easily going to be the Publisher of the Year. Nice work all around.
