Halo 4 Midnight Launch Question

Hello, I just have some question about the midnight launch for Halo 4.
Will you be giving out any other stuff to lets say the 100 first people lined up?

Go here: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Games-Promotions/Halo-4-Experience/pcmcat281900050003.c?id=pcmcat2819000...
and click the midnight list

Pre-order Halo 4 online and pick up in-store at midnight launch.

If I pre-order H4 online and choose store pick up at my local store can I pick up the game at store for midnight launch? I would think that I could, but a concrete answer would be nice if anyone has it.
Thanks.

Hey Delta10,
My apologies. I felt like htz's response covered it pretty well but I can understand you wanting someone from Best Buy to respond as well.
Yes, if the store you chose as your in-store pick up location for Halo 4 is hosting a midnight opening, you do have the option of picking it up at midnight. Keep an eye on the Halo 4 landing page on BestBuy.com for a list of participating stores.

Titanfall Midnight Opening Question

I just joined GCU recently and attempted to preorder Titanfall in store but was told it was too close to release to preorder. So I went home and preordered Titanfall from bestbuy.com with in store pickup on release day.
If my Best Buy does a midnight launch what is the chance that I will be able to pick up my copy at midnight? Thanks.

Hello hoofrog,
I wanted to chime in real quickly to let you know that we have posted the store listing for the Titanfall Midnight Opening so you can check to see if your local store is participating. To do this, visit the Titanfall landing page and scroll down to “Related Offers.” You’ll see a link for “March 11 Midnight Store Openings” there that you can click on and select your state. The stores that populate for the chosen state are the ones that will be participating.
Thanks again for posting and let us know if you have any questions!

Will the Chermside apple store have a midnight launch for the ipad 3?

Does anyone know if the Chermisde or Robina store in Queensland will be offering a midnight launch of the iPad 3?
I would love to go and line up and wait for the launch and buy one in person, rather than waiting for it to arrive in the post.

You'd stand a better chance of a good answer if you phoned them....

Destiny Midnight Launch: Glen Burnie Store (290)

I want to start off by saying the Glen Burnie store (store 290) handled the midnight release spectacularly. For the most part, I had no issues. They were well organized, nice, and efficient.
However, they claim they were unable to find any of the Destiny T-shirts. I was first in line, and the second person in line asked about them. They said they could not find any and they were sorry. It is my understanding that all of the stores should have gotten at least a few shirts (even if it sounds like it was as few as 10). Is it possible they were overlooked and they still have them (and a small bit of hope some of those preorder people could still get one)? They didn't even have the bags I've seen pictures of from other stores, perhaps they just didn't get their promo materials in time? I honestly would not have done the midnight release (on a work night) if I didn't think there was a chance of getting the t-shirt. It's fairly disappointing (though the employees were as nice as they could be about it).

Hey Liambc3,
Thanks for purchasing your Glacier White PlayStation 4 Destiny bundle with us! Hope you're enjoying the game so far.
If you're interested in the Gamers' Club Unlocked membership advertised in this week's ad and on BestBuy.com, then you will unfortunately need to return to your local store and return + repurchase the console. Both Destiny and the GCU membership must be purchased on the same transaction to qualify for the discount, and GCU memberships are currently only available in-store.
As far as the T-shirts distributed at Destiny midnight launch events are concerned, the best advice we can give would be to ask on-site reps if they were able to locate any when you stop by. As with other limited-time-only promotions, quantities of this offer are/were limited and we do not expect to receive any additional inventory moving forward.
I hope this helps.

Halo 4 L.E. Console midnight release question

I know it might vary from store to store but I was just wondering if anyone knows if I'd be able to pick up my pre-ordered Limited Edition Halo 4 Console at midnight or if that would have to wait until normal business hours. I was under the impression that the standard version of the game is the only version you can get at the midnight release.
Thanks

Hey bfjohnson87,
They should have all Editions available to fulfill pre-orders so that would include the console LE!

Halo 4 Console Question about all the free stuff included?

Just wondering if they will apply all these in store:
Xbox 360 Halo 4 pre ordered at $399.99 and they are going to price drop to $350
Now here is my extras questions in addition to the $350 will they do they following?
You get $20 in reward zone points since I'm silver member
In addition if you pre order online you get $20 gift card as well
Also you get 50% a 3 month xbox live subscription
Also being a silver member we have a coupon for 800 free microsoft points with any xbox live subscription purchase
Will I be able to apply all this in store or do I need to cancel and order this online?

It appears after reading a little more the 50% off 3 month works in store as well as this:
Get 800 Microsoft Points with Xbox LIVE Gold Subscription
Purchase a 3- or 12-month Xbox LIVE Gold subscription and get 800 Microsoft points.
Offer expires: 11/10/2012
Open up a world of entertainment options with an Xbox LIVE Gold subscription. Xbox LIVE Gold lets you take your favorite Xbox 360 games online and play with friends wherever they are. Instantly watch HD movies, TV shows and sports or chat face-to-face with friends in faraway places with Video Kinect. For a limited time, Reward Zone members get 800 Microsoft points when they purchase a 3- or 12-month subscription.
Offer available at Best Buy® stores only.
But will my $20 gift card be applied in store and still get my $20 reward points?

Midnight opening question

If a store is open for a midnight release on a few games and one of the games coming out on that day is not one of the three listed, would I still be able to pick it up at midnight with the others?
WWE 2K15 isn't on the midnight releases, but say if I want to get that with Dragon Age at midnight, would I be able to do so?

Hey kingofoldschool,
Good question! Many of our stores will allow customers to purchase other titles released the same day during our midnight opening events, but this varies by location. The best advice we can give would be to contact your preferred location and ask an on-site rep for details.
I hope this helps.

Iphoto launch question

Everytime I launch iPhoto I receive a message with two of the same images asking if I would like to import the following duplicate photo? How do I prevent this from happening over and over and over again?

It is incredible that your iPhoto application should have vanished completely. Try one more search with the Finder and ensore that it really searches everywhere:
Select "Computer" in the Finder's sidebar, or the system drive, if you only have one drive.
Enter iPhoto in the search field and press "+" to add a rule "kind is Application",
Can you post a screenshot please, of what you see in yur "Pictures" folder? Also select one of the thumbnails of your photos and use the command "File > Get info". What information can you see about your files?

Modern Warfare 2 Midnight Release Question.

Alright so im planning to hit the Midnight Release of modern warfare 2.
I get off work at 12:00 am exactly and it takes me 30 minutes to get to the best buy.
How late will best buy be open for this? and will they have enough copies if im not able to make it?
If im not able to make it for the midnight release will they have copiers later on in the day?
I have not preordered, will that affect anything at all?
Thanks

they usually stay open for an hour for midnight release you dont have to have a preorder to get a game...they should have plenty of extra copies tonight and tomorrow

Midnight commander questions. menu file & associations file

hi! i use tuxcmd all time, but find myself interested in try mc, first because it can be transparent and integrates with my transparent desktop:
but i read this manual http://www.chm.tu-dresden.de/edv/mc/mc4.5/manual1.html and dont know how to make a couple of things in first place...
1. when i start mc it sorts files in a confusing (for me) way tuxcmd shows me first the "dot" directories, next the "not dot" directories , next the "dot" files and finally the files, all in alphabetic order. how to achieve that sorting in mc?
2. in tuxcmd i have the options to sort (maintaining the number 1 item sort fashion) by date (newest files first) by name, by extension. how to do this in mc?
3. in tuxcmd i add to it a lot of file associations to my common use files, like when i right click a media file, i have my programs like open with mplayer, xine, vlc, ffmpeg -i (shows me info about the file), etc. what file or what i need to do to have file associations like that in mc? so i can just double click the file and it opens with his associated program?
THANKS!!!

Halo: Combat Evolved Question

My system is a dual 450 with 1.25 GB RAm. If I upgrade my video card will I be able to play on this system? I'm not sure if the game will use both of the processors or not also. Thanks!
Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Hi-
Welcome to Discussions!
Minimum system requirements are 800mhz processor, 256mb RAM, and 32mb Graphics card.
Recommended system is 1ghz processor, 512mb RAM, and 64mb Graphics card.
Your G4 would be about equivalent to a 733mhz single processor G4 QuickSilver. With the 1.25 gb of RAM that you have and a 128 mb ATI 9800 Graphics card, the game MAY be reasonably playable, but no guarantees.

Xbox One Pre Order Fullfulment question

Ok I know you guys have answered these questions, a million times. I am wondering, I wont be able to attend the midnight launch. I plan on being there right when the doors open that morning. Will you guys have enough consoles for us. I forgot to say I did pre order. I cant imagine your stores not, because that would mean you sold all the pre ordered consoles at the midnight release. Which sounds crazy just typing it. I doubt that will happen any reisurance will help.

You should be fine. A lot of people are spazzing out and in panic mode.
If buy some chance you don't get it on Friday you will have it with in a few weeks.
Personally i would not try to be there at midnight and it isn't worth taking time off from work to get it.
I didn't pre-order an Xbox because my daughter said to wait on one becuase she wants to see which way all her friends go if they get a new system. If your going to change platforms this would be the time to do so.
If none of her friends go PS or Xbox One right away she would still play our Xbox 360 becuase if she cannot play with her friends she has no interest in a new system.
I did pre-order a PS4 that I am picking up tonight but it is a gift and not for home use.
I think you will be fine with your Xbox One

Destiny Midnight Opening and Release Week FAQ

Destiny finally releases on 9/9/14 and select Best Buy stores will be opening at 12:01 a.m. that night to let you be the first to play. To help answer any questions you may have about the midnight opening process and the release in general, we’ve put together this FAQ.
Midnight Opening Questions
Q: How do I know if my local store is participating in the midnight openings for Destiny?
A: You can visit BestBuy.com/GamingEvents to find all participating locations for the Destiny release. Once you’re there, select your state to view a list of participating locations in the selected state.
Q: If I pre-ordered Destiny either in-store or for Store Pickup can I go to any Best Buy that is having a midnight opening to pick up my reserved game?
A: If you pre-ordered on BestBuy.com and your order is to be picked up at a Best Buy store it must be picked up from the location that you selected when you placed your pre-order. If you pre-ordered in-store, you will need to go to the location where your order was placed to pick up your game.
Q: Do I need to be at the midnight opening event at my location to pick up my pre-ordered copy of Destiny?
A: All pre-orders will be held for a specified number of days after launch so you do not need to attend the midnight opening. For BestBuy.com Store Pickup pre-orders, your items will be held for 8 days. For pre-orders placed in-store, your items will be held for 5 days. After those timeframes, any orders that have not been picked up will be made available for purchase to others.
Q: If I’m attending a midnight opening to pick up a pre-order, what do I need to bring with me?
A: If you placed your pre-order on BestBuy.com for Store Pickup, please bring the following:
Your government-issued photo ID
The credit or debit card used for the purchase (if a credit card was used)
Your order number
If you placed your pre-order in a store, please bring the following:
Your government-issued photo ID
Your deposit receipt you received when you placed the pre-order
Q: What time should I arrive at the store on the night of the midnight opening?
A: The processing of pre-orders can begin at participating stores at 11:30 p.m. local time. While your pre-order may be processed before midnight, no copies of Destiny will be given to customers or allowed to leave the store until 12:01 a.m.
Q: I didn’t pre-order a copy of Destiny. Will I be able to show up at a midnight opening and purchase one?
A: Pre-ordered copies of the game will be held and processed first during the midnight opening. Any copies still available after all pre-orders are accounted for will be made available for purchase.
Q: Will I be able to get the advertised Destiny T-Shirt if I attend a midnight opening?
A: Our midnight opening stores will have a limited number of Destiny T-Shirts for those in attendance. These will be available on a first-come, first-served basis and will only be available while supplies last. Stores will have sizes ranging from small to extra large of the shirt, but again, they are limited quantity and only available while supplies last.
General Release Questions
Q: I pre-ordered Destiny for Store Pickup. Will I receive an email when it is ready?
A: You should receive an email the day before release indicating your order is ready, but you will still need to wait until the release date of 9/9/14 to actually pick up the game.
Q: I pre-ordered the Digital Guardian Edition of Destiny. When will I receive my download?
A: The codes for the Digital Guardian Edition will begin to go out shortly after midnight CST on 9/9/14.
Q: How will I receive the Vanguard Armory pre-order bonus if I pre-ordered Destiny?
A: The codes for the Vanguard Armory pre-order bonus will be included in the packaging of the game.
Q: I am a My Best Buy member and should receive $10 in reward certificates for pre-ordering and purchasing Destiny. When should I receive this?
A: The 500 point bonus equal to $10 in reward certificates will post to your My Best Buy account within 15-20 days of the pre-order being fulfilled.
Q: There is an offer this week to get a free Gamers Club Unlocked Membership with the purchase of an Xbox One or PS4 console. Can I get this offer if I pre-ordered the Destiny PS4 Bundle?
A: If you pre-ordered this bundle and would like the free Unlocked membership, there are a couple ways to go about doing so.
If you placed your pre-order in-store with a deposit, the store should be able to add the membership to the pre-order redemption transaction.
If you pre-ordered for shipping or Store Pickup, your best option will be to fulfill your pre-order and then return and re-purchase it in-store with the Unlocked membership. This is to ensure that you still receive your $10 in reward certificates from our “Get $10” offer, provided you are a My Best Buy member, and because we are currently only able to process Unlocked membership enrollments in-store. If you are not a My Best Buy member and therefore not eligible for the “Get $10” offer, you could also cancel your pre-order and then purchase the console in-store with the Unlocked membership.

Hi wowzors,
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but we aren't able to change the name associated with any pre-order. Friends and Family pickup options can also only be added to BestBuy.com orders at the time of checkout, and cannot be added once the order has been placed. You may, however, want to speak with a manager on duty at the store if you haven't already done so. While I cannot make any guarantees, they may be able to help you find an alternative solution.
For additional information on the midnight opening process and for more release week information, please view our post here.
Thanks for reserving your copies of Destiny with us!

Store Openings on West Coast for Midnight Release Events?

Hello,
Was last week's 9PM PST release for COD:AW an anomaly or is BB now doing midnight release based on 9PM PST/12PM EST schedule?
Basically I want to know if I'll be able to go get my pre-order of Assassins Creed Unity at my store in Culver City (which isn't participating in the midnight launch) since BB closes at 10PM PST or if I won't be able to get it until 11/11.
Thanks!

Hey henhowc,
Kst8no1 is correct here: last week's staggered midnight opening events were specific to Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare due to its Day Zero promotion. There's always a possibility other developers may choose to follow suit the future though, so the best advice we can give would be to keep an eye on our midnight opening announcements on BestBuy.com for updates.
Thanks for your pre-ordering with us!
