I called Best Buy and they said they did not get the pre-order boxes in yet?

Has anyone seen the pre-order boxes at best buy?

thanks

They don't have them "in store"....only via their online site. I ordered mine without any problem. The manager for the games area at my local store said he didn't even show them getting pre-order boxes in at all and he is the one that suggested I just go to their site. It's the same from their point of view.

Thanks for the heads up.

My fear is that I will be moving in about three months, and that in the fall in the CE will get lost in mail.

With that said, im getting scared that the CE will sell out (like it did in Germany) so I guess maybe i will just pre-order online, and hope for the best.

Anyone recommend one online store over an other for best service?

“Game Experience May Change During Online Play” is about ESRB ratings, not changing game content!

Thank you .  I am going to go with you guys and sto by all of my local best buys.

I called one of the local stores and they said it had not come in yet (local is las vegas).  I am going to hope that they just dont care enough to look for the box and gave me a quick 'no' answer.

 

thanks again for the heads up.  wish me luck!

BB might have them in store now. It's just when I checked and ended up ordering, it was right when the pre-order started up and everyone was saying the CE would sell out. I like the BB special items better too.

This is incorrect information. I got mine in store, but they only had a shipment of 10.
