I say around June 7th I preordered Starcraft 2 and had it specially modified so I can pick up my order (since I had it ordered online they wanted it shipped and their shipping sucks etc.. etc..) Just this morning apparently they cancelled my pre-order without any reasoning.

Has anyone else preordered from best buy and got your order cancelled?

EDIT: a buddy sent me this link http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?p=1035915668 so I wonder if it has to do with that whole $5 bs that happened.

How much did you pay for the game ?

You say you are wondering if it has to do with the 5$ price mistake.
Either you paid it full price and it has nothing to do with it, either you paid it 5$ and no wonder that your order has been cancelled.

60ish, also I said I preordered in June, that little 5 buck deal was sometime in july. I think they just fucked up and canceled all pre-orders because of a screw up with that $5 deal they had.

Yeah, it's because for the best buy website they screwed up in pricing so I guess as a way of fixing the problems they cancelled them all.

Seems like a pretty useless way of solving the problem if you ask me.

I personally don't like phone support because there is either some idiot who don't know what they're doing or my issue will never get solved.

Where should one buy games instead? Gamestop? F that. Any place that allows used game sales will never get my money. Best Buy will always be my place to purchase games. No other store offers the same level of rewards for making purchases.

I know for a fact that in Korea, if you list the wrong price on the internet at the time of the purchase, the company has tot sell the product with the mistaken price. Sure they can chance the price later, but people who bought it at, lets say $10, gets theirs for $10. That's the law in SK. Not sure in America though.

Every drawback has something positive in it. You have to believe God wanted this to happen for a reason.

Now you can order through TL!! http://www.teamliquid.net/store/

Best Buy is canceling legitimate purchases also. I preordered mine when they had a bcb deal, but now I guess it's gone.

Yep, they canceled mine as well. I feel sorry for anyone who used BCB and got it cheaper.

I would buy via that link, but Best Buy is having a midnight launch, so I'm going to pick up my copy instead of paying for shipping and waiting 3 days since I'm too cheap to pay for overnight shipping.

maybe because my english is quite poor but by "Best Buy cancelling Pre-orders" I understand the best pre-ordered things you could cancel, and yes, SC2 is right up there on the top
