Halo Reach Midnight Release

I read online that Best buy had inflatable energy swords but also the individual said there were free microsoft points and subscription to xbl. Is this true?

Hello,
The inflatable energy swords were a promotional item confirmed by Microsoft and Bungie representatives. I know of no other confirmed midnight release promotional items at this time. I would suggest stopping by our midnight release event in your area or asking if the local store managers will divulge this top secret information!

Halo 4 Midnight release

I was wondering if your stores are going to be launching Halo 4 at midnight and if so, are there any in Arizona?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Keep a lookout on Best Buy's Gaming Events webpage. It should probably update soon and show which stores will have a midnight release for halo 4. For now, you can cross reference which stores are having a midnight opening for medal of honor, forza, and assassins creed. If your store is haveing a midnight opening for these games then chances are they will for halo 4 too. But I make no promises!

Halo 4 midnight release participating location question

I have asked many times at the Soquel bestbuy, store #797 I think it is. I am always being given the run around and keep being told to check online. I can not find the page that would allow me to find out. Will the Soquel California best buy be opening at midnight for halo4?

Go here and check as well but it doesn't look like it:

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 Reach Recon Token?

Today, Bungie released information about retailers including Recon Helmet Tokens with release day sales and preorders. My question is, is Best Buy in on this? I preordered the Halo Reach Legendary Edition from Best Buy about a month ago and was wondering if I would get this code. I really hope that it comes with it because it is too late to cancel my preorder. Game Stop and other retailers have confirmed that they are including these codes, but I haven't heard anything about Best Buy. Any information would be great! Thanks.

You get a three month of Xbox live so cancel your pre-order with best buy and get at the other retailer Gxamestoxp you be better for it comes with Mark V chest piece and Belt Piece with the recon token, but with pre-ordering it at best buy you have more of a chance with your legendary one to be in stock. O and if you want to play Xbox Live my Gamertag is
Basco Slap MLG
plus you have midnight release and it is not as crowded as the other retailers plus some Best Buys are having a Firefight Event You will need 4 people and you'll have to compete for your free copy of Halo Reach,but depending on the rules so ask your local Best Buy if there doing this and i think they would be happy to tell you the guildlines for this wonderful opertunitie for your own free copy of halo reach.
I Hope i have help i know most workers at gameing stores do not know what there talking about half the time so if any of your friends have questions i would love to help.

Halo: Reach Preorder Bonus!

robert_h,
Unfortunately we don't have a way for you to make small payments toward your preorder for Halo: Reach. We have an online preorder where the full amount of the game will be placed on your account as an authorization. Or an in-store preorder for $5 that you can sign up for in any of our locations.
You could possibly try getting a Best Buy® Pitch-In Card and putting smaller amounts on the card and once you have enough for the preorder you can place the order online. Please let me know if you have any further questions with either a reply to this thread or by sending me a private message using the envelope shaped link on my signature bar below. Thank you for reaching out to our Community about the Halo: Reach preorder!

Halo Reach preorder promotion in store?

Hi, I am wondering if the promotion for reserving Halo Reach is also available if I reserve it in store or if it is only available if I reserve it from bestbuy.com
Thank you

Hey everyone!
I'm trying to absorb the multi-faceted questioning here... this thread has kind of gone all over the place.
The offer you're talking about was indeed attached to the Reward Zone Gamer's Club. There were 1-3 months free of Xbox LIVE being offered depending on the version of the game you preordered. The Xbox LIVE subscription info will be sent to the email address you have on file with our Gamer's Club on or around release date of Halo: Reach.
Hope that cleared up all the questions. Thanks for being Best Buy® Gamers!

Why so few Midnight Releases?

I live in the central Texas area, San Marcos to be specific. Not a big town, but it is a big college town with a decent gaming commutinty. I originally pre- ordered all my games at gamestop, but long story short, I moved them all to best buy. I went to the Destiny midnight release and it was awesome. I was not doubting that with the launch of Halo MCC and AC Unity, that there would be another midnight release, but I double checked anyways. There is not a midnight release for my bestbuy. I was shocked to find this out. I checked which ones will be partcipating in the midnight release north and south of here and there is only 1 in San Antonio and 1 in Austin. That sounds very low to me.
Why are there so few of them in a big portion of Texas?What criteria are needed to be met to have a MIdnight Release?
Thanks,

Hi User272677,
While we cannot provide any specific details, know that locations participating in midnight opening events are determined by a number of factors, including geographical location and market size. Participating locations are also subject to change without notice, so we encourage customers to contact their preferred store for the latest information in these situations.
Thanks for taking the time to post!

Midnight Release Website Problem

While it's not a major issue as to if I purchase from BB or a particular store I'm very curious if the midnight release checking site is broken or if it's lack of information that I'm missing.
I'm trying to use this http://www.bestbuy.com/site/misc/best-buy-gaming-events/pcmcat183100050001.c?id=pcmcat183100050001&t... link provided by the Press Release but when you search a local store it just brings you to the local store of your choosing and doesn't specifically state yes or no. Is there supposed to be a banner that says if they are doing an event or is the whole search part broken from any proper midnight lauch information?
This wouldn't be a major issue if the store actually had some form of speedy phone service. I spent 20 minutes on hold for supposedly two customers on the line ahead of me and had no indication of getting closer to the store employee. My local store has combined the customer service desk and front registers so essentially the former dedicated customer service rep is now a normal cashier most of the day and I'm curious if this will make all attempts at good customer service and or quick phone answers for a quick simple question. During the whole current GCU promo in which customer service was trying to find out the proper way of ringing up the promo for me had EVERY customer in the store stareing at her like she was satan because she was the 2nd cashier and was doing a good job trying to assist me but I could imagine some CS feeling pressured by the various eyes and maybe provide lower customer service to move the line along. Also, with the holidays coming I can imagine the annoyance of dealing with the holiday lines grabbing my pre-order that I'm there for to play at release and not saving it for a Christmas gift.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hey again Laronvas,
Believe it or not, but the listings on this page are appearing as intended. When searching for locations in your area, only stores that have confirmed midnight opening events should appear in the drop-down menu that appears. Just keep in mind that store exclusions are subject to change without notice and that you should always contact your local store for full details before attending any midnight opening event.
I hope this helps.

Iphone 4 Midnight Release??

Today i spoke with someone frm my local walmart nd they said they might have a midnight release. Can anyone confirm this?? And what are the chances of this happening??

Walmart is going to be an iffy place to go no Thursday. I just spoke with a manager at the local walmart. She told me:
1. Walmart will only have the 16GB model (concurs with other posts).
2. They will start sales at the normal cell phone dept opening time (8AM at this store - usually 8 or 9 at most stores that have the section).
I tend to believe this one since it was the manager (she even had the inventory sheet but wouldn't let me see how many she's getting) and the store has just done a remodel of its phone section.
Personally I'm starting to think its time to look more at the apple store. The balance of the rumors seem to be that they will get the most inventory but they will be the center of the 'storm' as well.

Will there be a midnight release for Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword?

I was looking in the best buy ads and saw that there was no ad about Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword. I was wondering if anyone happens to know if there will be a midnight release for all of the stores, or just select stores. Thank you in advance.

Hello kbowman,
Welcome to the forum!
I looked into this and it does not look like we are doing a midnight release for Zelda. The game comes out on 11/20 so I recommend heading to the store when they open. I hope this helps!

Final Fantasy XIII - Midnight Release?

I have to admit, I fell out of the Final Fantasy series for a while, mainly because I bought an Xbox, and then a 360; so you can imagine how pumped I am to here that they are releasing it on 360. Strangely enough, however, I recently bought a PS3 so I pre-ordered the game on it. I can't wait for it to come out!
Does anyone know if Best Buy will be opening at midnight for it's release?

jmaxwell003,
I should have more information on this soon! I have checked with the business team to see what stores, if any would be having a midnight release.
I will post again when I have more information. Thanks for your patience!

Refurbished xbox 360 halo reach bundle

I ordered the refurbished250 gig xbox 360 haloreach bundle Which is supposed to come with 2 controllers, halo reach, month of live, a headset . When the it arrived we opened it and found that it only came with 1 controller there was no halo reach game and there was not a month of live in it neither. called on friday told us they would call us back. After we ended our conversation on the phone we decided to plug in the xbox to see if it worked and before that we checked to see if it had the hard drive and to our surprise it too did not come in the package. after finding that out i called again and they told us they were gonna call us back. Now its Wednesday and no call back. we decided to check to see if the controller worked and found out that one of the buttons on the controller that actualy came with the xbox doesnt even work! Can i get any help?

Hi ladderman57,
Thank you for your post regarding some missing accessories to your Halo bundle that you recently purchased. Our refurbished items are meticulously checked out to be sure they are up to par before they are shipped out. I truly apologize for this snag in getting you up and running with your bundle.
It looks like I need some additional information in order to begin some research on this, so I'm going to be sending you a private message with some questions. To view your private messages, be sure you are logged into the forum and click on the envelope in the upper right corner.
Thank you,

If You Got Halo Reach Read this

Hi I have recently got Halo Reach and i was wondering if you would like to play my Gamertag is
Basco Slap MLG
so if anyone would like to just forge or Multiplayer hit me up.

"I still challenge you to take a couple of feet of movie film and show me how you're going to fit more video information in between the frames. As Mr. Scott used to say, you cannot break the laws of physics!"
I obviously agree with you! I've made myself quite clear that you cannot put anything in-between frames. The rest of the world doesn't seem to understand that point. At least not the ones who are offering me "help".
And of course PE is designed around video and frame rates. Just like Photoshop is designed around photographs. But Photoshop and PE are flexible applications offering more than one might imagine.
I'm a firm believer in selecting the application that fits the user's ultimate goals. Right now, PE is the closest application I have found that does what I want, though I am looking into Adobe Flash as a possible alternative. If someone wants to be helpful, thay may want to suggest to me other alternatives.
