For those who missed on the BB XBox Splinter Cell deal - Counter Strike works also, except

[CPA]

It shows CS at the actual price of 44.99. Platinum Hits games come down to $5 each still, though.

It's the only game I could find that does this.

Actually, if you add the playstation 2 version of splinter cell to the xbox version of Prince of Persia 2, then it works.

Ahhhh, got it.

 

[MaxDSP]

Medal of Honor: Rising Sun (Xbox) also brings down the PH price down to $5

 

[BillyBobB]

I actually got 6 of my ten Platinum hits shipped today. Two more than the original two got back-ordered, so I suppose there is no hope of getting them!

BBB.

 

[ASUSuperman]

WTF?!!?

 

[bonk102]

this is still live, i put all the games in my cart, but didn't buy because i dont have an xbox, if i did this would be a HOT deal though

 

[John P]

I used the Prince of Persia 2 for XBox + free Splinter Cell for PS2 approach (mentioned on FW) and then added a bunch of $5 Platinum hits for XBox. No email and no order status on their web page as of yet...............

 

[gonnawinstate]

Yeah, I just checked it out, add Counterstrike, Prince of Persia, or Rising Sun to the cart and all Platinum Hits drop to $5. If anyone is going to do this, I'll pay $10 for a copy of Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance to you. That's be the best price I would find for it. I would order off Best Buy, but I don't want to pay full price for either of those other games, although PoP is tempting. PM me if you'll pick up MKA for me.

 

[Defender77]

I placed an order Monday at 1am and it never showed up in my history or an email. So I placed another order around 11:30 Monday night and it went thru using Counter Strike, which I was thinking of getting anyhow. I'm going to keep MK, NFS HP2, Namco Classics, the $8 Vtech 2.4ghz phone, and Counter Strike...and sell MechAssault, Unreal, Project Gotham, and Max Payne.

 

[Buzzman151]

anyone getting this to work right now? It seems to be a no go for me.

 

[Arkitech]

hmm does'nt work for me, I tried adding splinter cell first and then the PHs but the price is still 19.99

 

[bryantson03]

Mine went through Monday around 4pm est. I got a confirmation email and everything, says they are back ordered but should be shipped by 1/13. Has anyone gotten this far only to have their order cancelled??

Thanks.

 

[CPA]

My says the order is in process, but with the exception of CS, all the items are backordered, hmmmmm.......that doesn't sound good.

BTW, I picked up Simpson's Road Rage, Pacman World 2, Tony Hawk 4, Ghost Recon and Crash Bandicoot.

Total was $75.06 for all 6 games.

 

[bryantson03]

I ordered 25 games. One is now shipping Splinter Cell. The rest are backordered. I don't see how they can start shipping part of an order and cancel the rest. Here's to hoping it all goes through.

 

[LLLosingit]

I picked up 4 at my local BB and the rest were canceled before I could arrange to pick them up at a different store.
Customer service rep told me they are going to cancel all items placed imn your order with the wrong price.
He said he saw that I had already picked some of them up and asked me if I opened them, I told him the kids are playing with them as we speak, he then said well it looks like you got some $5 games but BB may try to charge your credit card for the full price if you don't return them...... Then when I bitched about it he said well I don't know what they can do about it, They will send you an E-mail when they figure it out.

 

[rockman1117]

Well if this is still active, do in store pickup to avoid shipping and oddball order cancelling.

 

[Krk3561]

i cant get this to work for me, i dont understand how to do this

I added PS2 SC and XBOX PoP, then added Unreal and it still comes up as 19.99 for Unreal

they fixed the error

 

[pxc]

LOL, I got an email today reminding me to pick up the 2 copies of Splinter Cell I ordered a couple of days ago.

 

[daid]

I picked up my games today, including PoP, SC, and 7 misc. Platinum Hits (2 of which they couldn't find in the store) with no problems. The guy helping me said that several other people had been in today for the same "deal", so they were running short on the Platinum Hits titles. He said he had heard it was some kind of "5 for $25.00" deal and he wanted to get in on it himself. I was vague. Either way it looks like the deal is over, although you can still get SC free when you buy PoP. I was thinking of returning PoP, but would that mean they would want SC back as well?

 

[daid]

Also... The only e-mail I have gotten from BB since picking up the games was to thank me for picking up my order.

 

[ihatetigerdirect]

If you've already picked the games up - there's no way bestbuy will pursue or charge more latter unless you've pickedup like 500 games. They'll let it float. If you worried after you've pickedup the items and they charged you $5/piece - just call your cc company and lock your card. So what then will they do... come after you? just give them a run around like they would give you...

I talked with a couple customer service reps about this, they just said if I've already picked them up - then that's that. they *would like me to return them*, but one admitted that it was just a threat to make people feel guilty and return them.

 

[LLLosingit]

This what happened to me and they said they will do it to everyone who got them.
This is from the other thread .

Well, BB is screwing me on this deal.
I did an in store pickup for 4 games and paid $21.20 now they are charging me $81.20 on my debit card.
I call BB CSR and they won't budge, I either return the games or they charge me the full price because the price was a mistake and they quote the user policy stated on the website.

They are saying I have to return the games or I will be charged full price for them end of story< they won't adjust the charge or even discuss it.
I talked to my banks CSR and they said I can dispute it when I get my statement but until then they can't do anything about it.
He seems to think I have a good chance of getting the charge taken off since they will have to show a signed receipt for the charge and I only signed for $21.20 but I lose my money then.
Anyone ever had this happen before?

I dont care what best buy says in their disclaimer. They can say whatever they want on a disclaimer. They can say frogs will fly out their ass in their disclaimer. There is nothing ILLEGAL about disclaimers. IT is ILLEGAL to overcharge someones card. They cant just charge your card more than the amount agreed upon. Did you make a copy of your order and confirmation number? If so, take it to your bank, they will fix it. I work for a major bank and hope they try to charge my card more than what I agreed upon. Best Buy has every right to cancel an order. they have ZERO right to overcharge.

Yeah I kept copies of everything and although they can't do it they did, so now I have to dispute the charge after it's processed by the bank, My Bank CSR seems to think it shouldn't be a problem but will take time.
He said they will have to show proof that I approved of the transaction and I have proof saying I only approved $21.20.
They just temporarily hijacked some of my money.
