Best Buy Pre-Order Information

[physiker]

Hey everyone. I've been poking around the forum for a few weeks but decided I finally had something worth posting about.

I pre-ordered from Best Buy (.com) a few weeks ago because I caught the LE price when it was only $69.99 and figured even if they didn't end up participating in the pub games, it would still cost me the same. So I jumped on it. Anyway, I was about to finally give in and buy the Pub Games on XBLA when I got a response to my second inquiry on the subject:

Best Buy is participating in the Pub Games pre-order code offer.
However, they're jumping on the bandwagon late an starting at the end of August. At least according to this guy. [Message pasted below]

Looks like I'm the first one to get a real response so I wanted to give everyone else who may be frustrated with the uncertainty a heads up.
