This is getting a little bit irritating, but 99.9% of the titles for Gamer's Club Unlocked happen to be for 360 and PS3. Sadly, Nintendo titles tend to be left out of this promotion and makes this membership useless if they don't buy 360 or PS3 games. Adding more Nintendo games and extending the promotion to handheld games would boost sales and spread to a bigger audience. Extending it to the 3DS could be a great idea. I know the games cost less, so the promotion could potentially be lowered to $10.
Suggestions: Wii U
Super Smash Bros 4
Mario Kart 8
Mario 3D World
Wonderful 101
Sonic Lost World
Donkey Kong Tropical Breeze
Bayonetta 2
X
Suggestions: 3DS
Sonic Lost World
Super Smash Bros 4
Zelda: A Link Between Worlds
Yoshi's Island
Mario & Luigi: Dream Team
Adding 3DS or Wii U titles to the mix would be enough to make me subscribe. I know a lot of others would too if Nintendo games were added.
Its been a very hard for the avrager perosn to get there hands on a Nivdia 30 series GPU. Giving My Best Buy Elite/Elite Plus memberse a timed window, lets say 5~8 hours to buy the stock before the general public could when new stock becomes avalible when be a novel way to: fend of scaplers, given more of an avrage working joe time to get a card, grab some postive prasie from the from the online communtiy.and help encorage shopping @ BBY to keep youre level up.
Can definitly say, Evga implamernting there queuing system has bought a lot of good sentiment to the company during this crazy release.
Feels bad to miss the drop for the cards by 30 min~ and then turing around and see them imidelty relisted on eBay agian....
Would assuyme also there would be some limit 1 30 series card per houshold / account during this timned window and if you hand already oreded 1 you would no longer be eligable for hte timed window during hte next stock drop.
Thanks for the suggestion. We truly appreciate the input!
Best Buy should sell this DLC stand alone for the Vegito character. Its sold on ebay for up to 135 dollars!! I'd gladly pay 10 to a reliable/trustworthy source like Best Buy rather than risk an ebay scam! Namco doesn't seem to plan to release it in USA on the PSN and i understand your company has a contract with bandai Namco for this item.
Dragon Age is a major multi-platform title from EA that will have multiple versions this October for PC, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3, and PS4. It's a perfect candidate for this promotion.
At the cost of annoying some, I'd like to see something implemented into the website where on certain items, say the SNES classic, you have to input a captcha code, or have a code sent to your phone to verify that it is indeed you who want to purchase it. That way you thwart automated bots and give those who really want the item a fair chance to do so.
Although I already have the SNES Classic, I am open to feedback about this from other fellow shoppers and Best Buy staff.
Why does BB allow users to review items that haven't even been released? Take a look at the preorder games and most already have a few reviews. What is the point of that? User reviews are supposed to be a usefull tool for the consumer to judge if they want to buy something or not. When you allow reviews to be posted on something nobody possibly has any hands on time with you devalue the entire review and star rating system.
I did hear back on this, and although this isn't changing at this time, it could sometime down the road.
Because of the amount of deals BestBuy has had it can be very difficult to keep up thus I always check CAG(CheapA$$Gamer.com) to see what's going on. I'm a very active member there as I am also active on the BestBuy forums page & I think this would benefit all those involved. So it's a "WIN WIN WIN"
BestBuy Wins
Because the deals are far more visible than just the weekly ad thus more sales more $
Errors/mistakes that occur can be correctly quickly & that will cut down on the number of angry customers that miss a deal
With more sales & more $ generated BestBuy can provide more deals & promotions based off the larger sales base
More site traffic, more visibility
Even though the site is for gamers there's also a section for movies & other electronics
Customers Wins
More deals
Less errors/mistakes to avoid several trips to the store
Easy way to find all the deals in one spot
The CAG community can help with alerting stores that are out of stock & where items can be found
CAG Wins
More site traffic, more visibility
More deal posters = more deals posted
More CAG's helped
The only "loser" is our wallets but hey those are the breaks.
Just take a look at the current March @Gamer thread with deals that include $10 for Batman Arkham City, $5 for Rage & $5 for Mass Effect 2

The CAG will also be speaking on a rep joining hopefully we can make this happen sooner than later. The 2011 fall deals from BestBuy were unbeatable & even I was overwhelmed trying to keep up, keep everyone updated & get in on some of the deals but that's where a Official rep comes in.

There have been/are other retailers that have reps. there & they have been rewarded with more sales.
Sound off below lets get a BestBuy rep to CAG in time for the 2012 fall gaming blitz
Good news! Thank you, Enuf, for posting this idea on IdeaX and to all the Community members who commented on this idea. I am happy to announce that the CAG website is part of the Best Buy Affiliate Program. In partnership with CAG, we are now providing them information about our deals and promotion which they can post on their website. Other ways to receive information about our exclusive gaming offers are by signing-up for our @Gamer magazine, checking out BestBuy.com’s gaming offers, viewing our weekly ad or joining the Reward Zone Gamer’s Club.
One great idea from IdeaX and our Gaming Forum boards implemented. I look forward to the next. Game on!
I was wondering if there was any way to implement a filter to hide the used video games that are not available for shipping. 3,400 games at 50 games per page takes an extremely long time to click through, especially when the majority of the games say they are not available for shipping.
A checkbox under "Narrow Your results" that says "In Stock For shipping" and pulls all the BBY.com in-stock items would be greatly helpful and would most likely boost sales from others who also dread scrolling through all 68 pages of used games.
Thanks for the suggestion.
You`ve increased the cost of GCU from $30 for 2 yrs to $120 but you decreased the value in the welcome coupons. Doesn`t really make sense does it? You should be INCREASING the valiue of EVERY ASPECT of GCU not decreasing or eliminating key perks/benefits. Basically, you`re giving us a bionic body but not putting fingers on the left hand & no right foot. Most people would prefer their regular non-bionic body vs this "upgraded" option.
However, this is an easy fix you need to make the coupons unique, diverse, valuable & consistantly tempting. Here`s how;
1- You need staple couples that will entice ALL types of gamers- B2G1 on used, B2G1 on new, 50% off a game guide, 10% off PSN/XBL/PS+/Steam, 50% off 1 used game, extra 40% bonus trade in credit, 3X RZ point booster on 1 game purchased during release week, $25(1250 RZ pts) w/purchase of $250 on gaming, 5X RZ pts booster on all games/accessories when purchased with a system & a 15% off birthday coupon. These should be valid for 1 yr & a new set should generate for the 2nd yr of GCU. They should be available in-store at the time of purchase or by email the choice of the customer.
2-You need 12 unique coupons(1 per month) sort of use em or lose monthly enticement coupons. These will get you loyal customers. And a new set of 12
Per the Gamers Club Unlocked team this idea will not be put into place.
It would be awesome if Best Buy Stores will stop putting price tags on the DVD/Blu-ray sleeves as they are a major pain to remove without ripping the sleeve apart. When ordering movies from sites online (including Best Buy.com), the price stickers are never on the sleeves. Other stores sometimes have stickers on the sleeves as well but they are nowhere as hard to remove as the Best Buy one. Another electronic retailer, Fry's Electronics, puts their price tags on the plastic shrink wrap of a movie instead of the sleeve which I think is an amazing idea when I found out about it. It's just a pain if someone has a movie collection and there's a giant price tag on it that can't be removed
I revisited this idea as I hadn't heard anything definitive, and at this time we are not changing the stickers we apply to media. Thanks for the feedback on this one.
We will now be supporting Apple Pay. Currently we support it via our app, and later this year it should launch in our stores.
Twice a year Bestbuy should reach out to as many current/former/future customers/employees to see how BestBuy can live up to it`s name. Take it seriously and be thorough that way true change can come and have an impact. No other retailer does it which would give credit for caring vs lip service. A group of 50 - 100 questions with sections dedicated to elite/elite plus/GCU. Customers who are already elite/elite plus/GCU should get unique questions based of the programs there in and what status they are.
For example: A silver elite member should be asked
1- What should be added
2- What should be ended
3- What does work well
4- What doesn`t work well
5- What can we(BB) do to keep you
6- What could cause us to lose you
Obviously, email would be the main way to go about acquiring the info but the questions could be sent with coupon packs designed to generate sales.
Offer 100 RZ points for complete surveys but special offers if completed in the store.
300 RZ points if the complete survey is turned in w/a $30 purchase
300 RZ points + 2X RZ points on a purchase of $75
500 RZ points + 2X RZ points on purchases of $100
500 RZ points + 3X RZ points on purchases of $150
750 RZ points + 2X RZ points on purchases of $250
1000 RZ points + 3X RZ points on purchases of $500
1500 RZ points + 3X RZ points + $50 instant giftcard on purchases of $1000
I'm pretty sure this has been suggested in the past. We are most likely not going to stop putting stickers on items we sell, but I guess it would be possible we could use removable adhesive. Would anyone else have any thoughts on this? Make sure to vote for an idea if you like it.
Thanks for the feedback here. I am confident that the appropriate business teams are aware of this feeback.
Best Buy has Express Kiosks at a number of airports. 3 in my local airport.
What I would like to see incorporated into the Best Buy web site or as its own site is something dedicated to the Kiosks.
Showing their locations and what individual machines carry. Not necessary a guarantee of an item being in stock but the fact that this or that machine carries this item.
Now it would also be great if it could be included in the app.
Example. I was traveling to a different city for a business conference. I needed a jump drive. I picked on up at the Best Buy Kiosk in Minneapolis Airport.
What would be slick if if your in that situation and you can pre-purchase the item from your phone and then pick it up at the kiosk on your way through the airport.
Interesting Idea! Would anyone else like to see this as a reality? Make sure to vote for an idea if you like it.
Other retail sites are offering this for pre-order, can Best Buy get this on the website sooner rather than later for pre-order?
Although these titles are currently sold out we do now have them on BestBuy.com.
1. Add a link to all reviews submitted under an account. Link the reviews to the account rather than an unlinked handle.
2. Allow reviewers to update a previously submitted review.
Would anyone else like to see this change to our product reviews? Make sure to vote for an idea if you like it.
Thanks for the feedback. We would not be sharing our plans for any promotions for 2020.
I heard back on this. At this item there is no plan to add this title to the promotion, and I can say that it is not necessarily Best Buy's call as to what titles get added to this promotion.
