Indeed.

I've been <i>pissed</i> about the whole best buy preorder issue.

I've had a Best Buy gift card since Christmas, and haven't had a "perfect" buy with which to use it (somehow I have a harder time using fake money than my own hard earned cash)-

well.... you couldn't preorder the game (zelda wind waker) <b>in store</b>, but you ALSO couldn't use a gift card <b>online</b>.

bestbuyguy says: "They're two seperate entities."

So. My brother in law, who was aware of my dillema, and works at target, picked me up a copy of the OOT and MQ disc at work.
For a penny.
Leaving me free to just purchase the game in store when released. Of course, now you can preorder IN besbuy, with the free disc included, but at the time I was cursing the system.

I suppose the trick is to get a "non video game informed" clerk to grab and ring it up for you, because the UPC does indeed ring up a whopping $0.01 charge to your purchase.

I may go preorder the damn thing anyway, so that I can give the free disc away. Or throw it at my friends. or skeet shoot. or...
