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

It's a hassle for me too since I paid via Paypal and they're holding my refund for a few days.

My preorder was placed 2 years ago as a gift from my father. Now two weeks before the game comes out they cancel it and refund my father's money.

Ah well. I'll be at gamestop at midnight 26th/27th.

1st I pre ordered at amazon. They did not give me betakey even a week after I ordered it so I canceled it. They did not offer any money off, but they did send me a beta key.

2nd I ordered at bestbuy. They canceled it. They offered $10 coupon. Told me to re-email if I did not get it. I did that. Still have not gotten it.

I think I'll just do digital download, but surely something will go wrong there.

This is what you do...

Find out which delivery truck will have all the hard copie of SC2. Get together with a bunch of mercernaires, and jack the truck when its enroute to Best Buy. Email me after your done.
Whats worse...US Poltics or SC2 Balance Talks...
