Best Buy's GCU Is Coming To An End

[VladTheImpaler]

Last game I ordered from Best Buy they threw it in the bushes over my fence and had the nerve to say they delivered it

They ended up sending me a free extra copy of the game after I told them what happened tho

yeah some of these delivery folks do that.. besy Buy buried an item in the bushes on the side of the porch once...I was like...where is it at

GCU lead me to buy a lot of games I wouldn't have normally bought because I got them cheaper. I've transitioned into only buying games I really want now. I might buy 6 titles a year if that. In years prior I was buying 30 or so games.

pre GCU, that's who I was, buying only what I really wanted to play. Probably will return that way Post GCU. I done bought too many damn games anyway. My backlog will outlive me

This ends for everyone on March 1st. They will refund you for whatever you had past that.

Kinda crazy i thought retailers were gonna start competiting with how to get us games the cheapest for pre-order instead they all agreed it ain’t worth it and took back all the discounts lol

If you have Amazon Prime and you get their Chase Visa you can get 5% back on all games even digital games via buying PSN cards on Amazon.

I still usually buy my physical games at Best Buy and get 5% of there via the US Bank Cash+ Visa selecting the electronics store category for 5% cash back. Sometimes if I don't care about release day playing and I'm not doing digital I buy from Amazon and have them ship. Also you get My Best Buy reward points going through them and the larger titles get $10 rewards for preordering.

Sad day, knew it was coming. This was my preferred method of getting physical games, now the digital PS sale may take over for good
