Splinter Cell, $5 at Best Buy.

[Querjek]

It's true. And, if you put SC in your cart any other Xbox PH game will show up as $5 too. Better act fast! (I know that all Xbox PH games say $19.99 on the list, but once they're in your cart, they'll change).

[punkoffgirl]

It says it's on backorder.

Is this at Best Buy.com

[Querjek]

Yes, and that took longer to sell out than I though.

[Mike1988_11]

So can I still buy it but just have to wait? And also, what do you mean every other game will show up as $5???

Just put SC and any other Xbox PH game(s) in your cart. You'll see. And I guess it's not out, just back order. You may want to get this stuff on store pickup to ensure you'll get it.

What are PH games?

[Mike1988_11]

Nevermind, Platinum Hits.... Thanks!!!

[Mike1988_11]

Another Question, are these games that are now the PH kind now worth less as collecting goes?

For $5 you ask that??

For the record, Greatist Hits labled games are usually not as collectible as the original.

I just ordered 15 games. We will see what happens.
3 things can happen:

1.They ship the games.

2.They refuse to sell at that price. (since the error is on their part they will have to offer some type of compromise)

3.They try to charge my credit card the full amount. (what fun I will have with them if they try that. Illegal to charge more then the order form total)

Worth the try. I'll get something cheap either way.

Yeah. I really hate PH games, but I'm going to play these and then either sell them (I know I can get $5 apiece later on) or trade them in when EB has a good trade-in deal. BTW, it seems as if BB has caught on and a lot of games are now either OOS or on backorder.

I have my order confirmation. Thanks for the heads-up.

Do you remember the Panzer Dragoon Orta/Skies of Arcadia Legends fiasco? BB won't offer any compensation. I hope I can get at least one of the games I ordered off of this. I only order 3 (Well, 2 Splinter Cells, but one is for a friend). BB sucks at being customer-freindly if they have a mistake on thier website. It's good that you got a confirmation. The gears may have begun to turn.

[Mike1988_11]

I ordered about 30. That would be amazing if they really send us our games! Great Find!!!!

Mike

I ordered 5 games--and it went through fine. We'll see if it pans out. They will get sued from so many people if they charge more to our cards than what the totals were. They better just bite the bullet and send the ordered games.

[buttasuperb]

Clear, cc payment, damn you!

I was about to almost double my xbox collection.

Hopefully it'll still be available later today/tomorrow.

Anyone know if you'll get these prices if you go to the store? I gotta gift card I need to use.

[kevincure]

BestBuy had a similar problem with a projector they were selling a few months ago - tons of people tried to get it at the dead cheap price. As far as I know, they didn't honor most of the sales (just cancelled the order), so I wouldn't hold great hope.

[Solid Snake]

Is this just for XBox games, or does it also work for the PS2 Splinter Cell.

[Cmosfm]

regardless...I ordered 10, hopefully they will go through if not im going to bitch my ass off about it. They'll probably do what they did the time they screwed up in my Circuit City local paper for wolverines revenge for 5.00.

They basically said "fuck you, you cant get it for that price" when I started complaining about it...not those exact words, but the tone and the words used were basically that.

No.

And I just got an email titled "Your item is backordered". I had 2 orders: 1 just of Splinter Cell, and one of Splinter Cell, Simpsons' Road Rage, and Mechassault. I'm surprised--Mechassault is the backordered one. Well, it says that it will ship on the 9th, but I doubt I'll ever see Mechassault.
