X-Box games for $5.
 
Don't know if you will get them for $5 but Best Buy has made a major mistake. Go here.

Add SPLINTER CELL first then all the rest you add will be $5. They are on back order though as you can imagine. ADD SPLINTER CELL FIRST.

Holy crap. Thanks a bunch. Got Moh: Frontline, Simpsons Road Rage, Morrowind, Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance , and Splinter Cell all for under $27 shipped.

Yeah, i was going to make a new thread.

So, which titles do you guys think will generate the most trade-in credit?

Being on backorder isn't a good sign.

WIth some game deals/misprices in the past at Best Buy (like Panzer Dragoon Orta for $9.99) all the back orders were cancelled without sending out an e-mail notice.

Well, I picked out four game. Not getting my hopes up, but its worth a shot. Good luck to everyone....


I just checked anandtech and fatwallet. Looks like a long shot for delivery. I read people doing in-store pickup and getting their items. Fatwallet thread already 14 pages long and people are ordering like crazy.

dgc 01-04-04 10:22 PM

I did an in-store pickup earlier today and just placed another order. :D

jekbrown 01-05-04 01:26 AM

i have serious doubts... we'll see though. Order placed for SC, Crash, THPS4, Gotham, Simpsons, and MoH... hopefully these orders will squeek through during post-holiday confusion. ;) :hump: .

No stores near me available for in-store pickup which was very disappointing. I made the order anyway; hopefully it will go through.

cubanx 01-05-04 02:01 AM

Bestbuy.com is horrible. I've ordering 3 times from the site and 2 orders went to BO status for a month and just cancelled with no communication what so-ever. They put temp charges on your card that last a few day's regardless if it ever ships or not *FYI*.

nickdawgy 01-05-04 04:02 AM

I tried to order 4 games but only one is available at my local store, so I'll pass on this one. I have too many games as it is :D

mixalot007 01-05-04 05:34 AM

woo hoo! gave it a shot, thanks!

I said the same thing about that EA deal and didn't order anything. This time I gave it a shot.

I can't add Splinter Cell to my cart, or even access the page for it.

syphon00 01-05-04 08:28 AM

how many ppl actually got this to work?
I placed my order last night when the deal first appeared
so everything was still in stock and my order was suppose to
have gone through but when I check the site today my order
is no where to be found and I called bestbuy.com and they had no traces of the order

mmconhea 01-05-04 10:06 AM

worked for me last night. My games are ready for pickup

Same here, vanished without a trace. On the other hand I haven't been charged for anything so if it never shows I won't be crying myself to sleep over it.

spainlinx0 01-05-04 11:52 AM

No order found for me. Bastards.

dvd-fanman 01-05-04 12:07 PM

They pulled Splinter Cell from their site, so this deal is now dead. :(

Funny how I got two order confirmation pages on their website for my "orders" last night, but they can't find them on their website and I never got an email. They better not try to charge me anything now....

MrJeff 01-05-04 02:08 PM

mine was pulled to it looks. Oh well.

dvd-fanman 01-05-04 02:53 PM

Deal seems to be back. Add Prince of Persia for XBOX to your cart for $49.99 and all Platinum Hits are back to being $5.00 again. :)

Joshic 01-05-04 03:26 PM

confirmed. but you have to pay $49 for Prince of Persia. Once you remove PoP from your cart, all the prices revert back to normal.

Right, but if you don't have PoP then it's a fine deal. :)

If you took Splinter Cell out under the other deal the prices reverted back to their normal prices as well.

Tuan Jim 01-05-04 05:39 PM

got a confirmation email a little while ago for my order last night. Still looks like they're planning to ship them with estimated arrival date of 1/12. We'll see.

menaz 01-05-04 06:00 PM

So what happens if you return prince of persia to a store?

Should be good to go I would think. The people in store aren't going to know about the online pricing screw up in all likelihood.
