Two Sundays ago we launched a slew of new services that benefit the gaming shopper and, can I say, these were much-needed. These services really cover some common areas of concern that can come up for game hardware purchasers and I think they’ll be put to good use. We’re adding a whole new level of confidence to video game shopping at Best Buy.
Parents, as holiday season approaches keep these services in mind. They could be that little “something extra” to a
present that puts it over the top and into that “best holiday ever” territory. Imagine your child opening a game console and having it completely ready to go. No account creation or setup steps to go through. Parental controls already set. Smile plastered on their face.

Gamers, ever have a desire to upgrade your game system’s storage but a little precautious of doing the modification yourself? How about transferring those precious game saves over to a new console? We got your back now.
ALSO NEW! Accidental Damage due to Handling (ADH) Geek Squad Black Tie Protection on gaming software (& Blu-rays).
Below is a list of the new gaming services we’ve added. See your local store for pricing.
