Hello everyone,

Due to overwhelming demand of hot product offerings on BestBuy.com during the November and December time period, we have encountered a situation that has affected redemption of some of our customers’ online orders.  We are very sorry for the inconvenience this has caused and we have notified the affected customers.

i really feel sorry for kyle and all the other bb employees.  i had placed another order around the same time as my helghast order.  long story short, i had to pick it up from another best buy.  the guy at the store pick up looked fried.  i looked at the other employees, they all looked especially stressed -- and not the holiday 'holy -----' stress, this one was burn out stress that is a sign of bad business decisions from corporate.

anyway, there are new articles popping up concerning best buy/black friday cancellations.

btw, on a related note.  my order through newegg came in the other day.  it's a fabulous package.  i hope all of you are able to get it for your holidays.

on a bit of a tangent: i had also seen the 3d playstation tv for $299 from best buy.  i'm one of those people that really likes 3d (i know, i know) -- and it's a great deal.  but you know what?  i kept my credit card in my wallet.  that purchase i had made will be my last with best buy.

Decent price, definitely worth it, can't see it being worth $100 retail though.  Thanks for the update as well and good luck to you.
