No it doesn't show how weak the sales have got but instead how much smarter people have got. The sales have been weak for years now but it's just people have been dumb all these years until now people final realize.

When they DID open (and about 100 people behind my bro and I), got NHL 09 and Army of Two for 20, and a couple of bargain bin games for 5.

Other than a cheap AE hoodie that I can work in, and a cheap 21mm socket at Sears, most of the "deals" I saw were garbage. Tried to putter around for headphones, but selection sucked. Not gonna bother with FS/BB since a friend told me it was packed.

Regarding headphones, anyone know of a decent pair for around 20 bucks? There's a topic for it in Tech already, but with boxing day right now, maybe someone knows of some.

+1 around $20 or under please :)

yeah it's the C/C company that did that -- it's happened to me before about 6 months ago or something. I ended up just cancelling my order and going in store to get it later, but not before Mastercard phoned me and asked if i had made any large purchases recently at Bestbuy.

It's just your c/c making sure your card isn't being used when it shouldn't :)

1-800-663-2275, speak to an agent.

TRDood 12-26-2009 04:34 PM

yup. i got a call from my CC company christmas morning already.

awellz, i will wait and see. i need my ps3 bundle from BB.. grrrrrr

TRDood 12-26-2009 04:44 PM

thanks guys.

i ended up calling the BB service line and got through to a human rep. the FS one is all automated and redirect me to the same place as before.

anyways, i verified with the BB service rep and he helped me checked both my BB order AND FS order. i guess they use the same computer system.

so, if anyone has problems, just call 1-866-2378-289

Bestbuy/Futureshop has a warehouse solely for online orders now. So stock shouldn't be an issue if you ordered it through online.

illicitstylz 12-26-2009 05:22 PM

Post above mine mentioned his shipment going out on a Saturday, really unusual IMO since last time I ordered through them, it got shipped out on a Monday.

Stock sure isn't an issue, but order volume sure would be.
