Best Buy: No Information

Maaku · Post by **Maaku** » Sun Apr 15, 2007 8:55 pm

For those who have been hoping to purchase Vol.2 at Best Buy when May 8th rolls around...
Well. I don't know.

I checked their website and they had no information on it. I went their today and the guy I asked check their personal databases and there wasn't anything their either.
It won't come up on the search and it's no where to be found on the Coming Soon list--and there are games scheduled for December on that list.
The guy said that they might not have information/the game in stock about a week before it launches, so I hope he's right.

Ideally, some people might prefer purchasing their games at EB Games or Gamestop, but I have a $20 Gift Card for Best Buy that I want to exploit. =/

Just to let you know if anyone plans on pre-ordering it from Best Buy.

Then wait until Best Buy gets it. Remember, Best Buy is pretty much an electronics shop, their main focus is not on PS2 games. EB Games and Gamestop on the other hand, focuses on getting games in. I'd expect Best Buy to get it probably a few weeks after EB Games gets it in.

Too be fair, I did purchase Vol.1 at a Best Buy store back in December, so I think it's safe to assume that Best Buy might have Vol.2...sometime...
Even though when I went back to Best Buy I didn't see it on the shelves, and it's true that it's no where on the online directory (as far as I know).

Best Buy gets rid of items that dont sell real good.
.hack isnt the most popular game on the shelves, so they had it for the first couple of weeks and I assume when they sold all their copies it was a slow-enough moving game that they didnt feel the need to re-order it. I assume the same will happen with volume 2, but the best bet it always a video game store. EB Games or Gamestop obviously, which is where I got my volume 1 special edition.
I remember Best Buy used to sell Sign dvds as well, I bought all of them from Best Buy except volume 4, which I still have never even seen because they "stopped selling it" and to be honest, I cant find it anywhere.
My .hack collection is missing a volume.
tear.

The Best Buys in my area all sell some SIGN, but not Rebirth. I guess that's because SIGN sold well, but gamers who didn't like the first games didn't bother for GU.

It seems like a waste to spend it on anything else. I don't particularly want any other games at the moment.
