Do you go to BestBuy?? Help Me!!!!

strummers

If you do I really really really need your help!!

I'm after the Collectors Edition Skyrim Strategy Guide (hardback) for a Christmas present. This is what it looks like:

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/searchpage. ... ies&ks=960

It's sold out everywhere online and in stores other than Best Buy - however Best Buy won't ship Internationally. If you happen to be in a BB store I'd be so unbelievably grateful if you could have a quick look and pick up a copy for me. Obviously as soon as you let me know you have a copy I'll send you the funds (+shipping) straight through to you via PayPal.

Even if a couple of you manage to pick one up at the same time, don't worry I'll take them all off your hands - my brother in law and nephew would also be very grateful to have one!

Thank you and please keep an eye out!

Or if anyone would be willing to order it online and send it to yourself then forward it to me once it arrives I'd be so happy!! Again, I'd PayPal you the funds before you actually order it. I'm desperate to get this for Christmas!

That's a huge game. I imagine a strategy guide would be very helpful.

Just checked Canada's Best Buy, not in the system. I see it on the American site though...hopefully a helpful Yankee can grab it for you.

Good luck.

PM sent. Think I can help you.

SuzieMay is on the case for me!!

Hopefully we should know by Sunday if they do have the right one in stock!

Thank you though - can I keep you in mind in case there's been an error on BB's behalf?

For sure. I just saw that you may have needed more than one.

I just got mine yesterday. It's sold out just about everywhere in this area, I think I got the last available copy. I had to reserve a copy online with one store, they had to have one moved from another store that somehow didn't sell it.

And my wife went in to pick it up. She said she walked into the store and said, "I'm here for the book, where's the damn book!" The staff all laughed and one girl asked, "what book?" (just to make sure that's what it was) My wife said, "you know what book, the only one that matters."

Amazon.com is selling them for between 75 to 99. Ebay goes for about 60-70. It's crazy.


And early reports put first week sales of the game at 12 million, that's around three quarters of a billion dollars in sales. :shock:

Congrats on getting one! Hopefully I'll be as lucky!

Seems like the hard part is over, locating and purchasing. The rest should be easy.

I live in the Southern USA, lots of rednecks (for lack of a better term) so I'm shocked that this book is sold out every where.

That's pretty big... But not as big as CODMW3. God did that game get old fast.

I have the hardcover and I've confirmed the soft cover has identical content, just not as fancy.

Travelar

The BB near me says they have it available. If you still need it, I'd be happy to run up there in a bit and check/purchase.

Cheers man. Suzymay is has a couple on reserve for me, hopefully I'll know by Sunday if she's been able to pick them up.

If not I'll let you know. Thanks for the offer it's very much appreciated!

Ooh stummers, you are at all worried, I don't mind if you have someone else who can get to a Best Buy sooner to check in person. Order is easily canceled/returned. I know how badly you want this. Just wanted to offer that up in case someone is literally next to a Best Buy that has copies

I didn't realize it was a collectors edition!

I think they should have only made a hardcover edition, especially considering I got Oblivion on the 1st day and just finished it the past summer. I did a lot of thumbing in that book over 5+ years.

All sorted thanks to Suziemay!

THANK YOU SUZIEMAY you rock!!

Suziemay

It's my pleasure! Now to get it to you safely

I bought my son this game for Christmas. Will he be able to play it without a guide, or should I find this guide and give it to him with the game?
