For those who pre-ordered from Best Buy, I just received my email that the game will be available for pickup during store hours tomorrow.

TBH, I had some concerns that Best Buy would somehow botch the delivery.

I think most everyone is a bit worried whoever they ordered with is going to *** up somehow lol..

I'm going to be pissed if a derailed train *** up my order (happened with my last PC >.<)

I don't blame anyone for being weary. I learned my lesson pre-ordering Modern Warfare 2 at Best Buy. I went to the midnight release...I didn't get home until 2:30am. Never again. Because of that I only go to midnight releases at Gamestop. I'm usually home before 12:30.

Just re-read my post. I should also mention that the email states the game is actually in stores now, but not to try and pick it up early.

Good poop.

ZOMFG LMAO! Best Buy does NOT and will NOT have the game in for a few days.

My confirmation email clearly states the game is at the store location, however, when I arrived I was informed that there was a shipping issue and the email should not have been sent.

So those of us who ordered it via Best Buy can expect to see it by this Saturday. The great news is that I walked across the street and picked up a copy at Gamestop and got a refund from Best Buy.

This is the 2nd time Best Buy has biffed up a preorder for me. Sorry Best Buy, but as a national retailer who wants to be viewed as the leader, you just lost a customer lmao.
