SOLD OUT..Best Buy Reward Zone XBOX 360 Pre-Order

[mzkhadir]

Member Exclusive! Be first in line to pre-order an Xbox 360 bundle ? plus, get DOUBLE POINTS on a game-and-accessory-packed Sports bundle.

Starting at 10 a.m. (CT) on Wednesday, November 9, Best Buy is offering select Reward Zone members the opportunity to pre-order what is sure to be one of the hottest products of the holiday season ? the next next-gen Xbox 360 gaming system.

Quantities are extremely limited, so don't delay.

For more information about our Xbox 360 bundles, and for your chance to pre-order one, use this special "members only" sign-in link:

Sign in link (When accessed right now, It will say Page doesnt exist) Access it after Nov 9

I wonder if that link is only accessible by the person who got the e-mail?

 

[crypticlogin]

I'm sure the URL in the email is unique to each person, but I ended up at the same page as mzkhadir.

Got the same email. Why say "For more information about our Xbox 360 bundles..." click here, and then give a link that doesn't even work? Does anyone know what bundles they will be offering? I get the feeling that, if you have to wait until the 9th to even see what they have, and they have "extremely limited" quantities, the units will be gone before you can check out their bundles. Oh, well.

Now it says this:

"Reward Zone® program members:
Your chance to pre-order an Xbox 360 bundle comes on November 9!

The special Reward Zone program Xbox 360 pre-order offer is not yet available. Please check back sometime after 10 a.m. (CT) on Wednesday, November 9 for your chance to pre-order the ground-breaking new console."

Still don't know what their particular bundle will be. I'm not fond of sellers who want me to order from them but don't want to tell me what it is I will be ordering or how much it might cost.

Couldn't agree with you more allisolm, would be nice to know if they are going to offer the two actual MS SKU packages without all the extra $$ fluff like most other places are doing OR if they are going to bundle in a bunch of $$ fluff like most other places are, in which case I will not be pre-ordering. Also, I am sure there will be no guarantees that you will actually be able to get it for/on launch day, given recent rumors from EBGames and the other places over shortages.

Patience grasshopper. Obviously when you order, the details will be there.

If anyone is interested.... I was in Best Buy on Elston in Chicago, IL and they were setting up a XBOX 360 that they were letting customer play with

 

[TerryMathews]

$5 says its:
XB360 premium system
2 games
extra controllers
warranties on everything

I don't work for BB, but I do know M$'s expectations for XB360 launch.

That would be perfect for me... Presuming the "2 games" are 2 of the ~7 that I want.

Does this work for in-store pickups or delivery only?

From the information given, I couldn't tell you right now.

I'd put money on them being delievery only.

Store managers have a tendency of f'ing up with pre-orders and selling them to different people. The Reward Zone members are there most spending customers and I don't think they'd want them getting screwed over.

They might not have thought that one out, though.

Yeah there is one setup here in Boise also.....have to admit the graphics are sweet......still wish they would give you the option of nouse/keyboard control though.......(sigh)

 

[ivol07]

Just finished playing the Call of Duty demo at Best Buy in Tustin, CA. That thing is sweet.

I got the email too although I couldn't care less...if anybody actually wanted me to, I can always pre-order for you. The shortage isn't going to be THAT bad, assuming you plan ahead, is it?

 

[schuang74]

Yeah they had a similar Email for the Sony PSP. If it is anything like the other pre order it was for delivery only.

 

[BornStar]

Does anyone know if this applies to people that sign up for a Reward Zone account now? I'd like to get in on this and I figure buying a 360 will more than pay for my reward zone account.

I claim this offer if the bundles are any good

Nobody really knows.

 

[Stangs55]

Well I didn't get this email, but I did just print of $80 in reward certificates for an HDTV I just bought...they better let me use these

hehe...are you kidding me? People won't be able to just preorder at a GameStop or something? It's like a pre-preorder.

Just PM me if you actually need my help.

The launch day preorders at GameStop, EB Games and the like have been sold out for months...Now if you walk in they'll tell you to come back at Christmas to get the console.

You are right, who knows how bad the shortage will actually be as most stores aren't doing preorders
