Frys!..wait, Frys?!?

So today I was at Frys, for no apparent reason. Who doesn't want to go to a place that has electronics and fun things galore from time to time? As I went to check out the video game selection I notice they have some flyers posted up for pre-orders. And guess what they had posted up. Yea, I couldn't believe it myself.  "Borderlands 2 Ultimate Loot Chest Edition" it said, "Pre-order Now!" it said.  At first I thought it was some cruel joke that they posted this a month after it quickly sold out. So I decided it is well worth trying to get one, why would they have the flyer up if they didn't have any? So I asked one of their associates if I could get a pre-order on it for PC. Then he proceeded to print me out a reservation sheet for it. I took it to the cashiers and I payed for it. So now I have payed for it, and I have a receipt. So it seems pretty solid in gold, but who knows. I am pretty optimistic about it though.

So if you are still looking to get a pre-order on the Ultimate Loot Chest Edition, for PC, Xbox, or PS3, head on over to your local Frys Electronics.  I checked their online site, and they had none posted.  I am wondering if they are only doing them in store, if that is the case, it must be why they actually have them left in stock.  I am guessing most people who have pre-ordered have done it online. All of the other retailers allowed it; Best Buy, GameStop, Amazon and the such.  But it seems since Frys did not post them online, people didn't figure to check if they had any in store. So run quickly to your nearest Frys, if you have one that is. Maybe I just got lucky, but I never would of thought of checking Frys if they had any, so it's worth a shot for anyone else. Good luck to all.

  1. Hey, I was searching online earlier this week for a way to get a hand on my own copy of this awesome collector's edition and I stumbled on your blog. I was beginning to think that all hope was lost until you put up this post about Fry's. I almost couldn't believe it. Like you suggested, I rushed over to the nearest Fry's/ asked my mom to drive me 45 minutes to the nearest Fry's and lo and behold they rung me up and I now have my own pre-order of the Ultimate Loot Chest Edition for PC. I'm still a little dumbfounded that I actually have it. Thanks for putting up this blog, if it weren't for you I'd be stuck with the measly little deluxe edition. Now it's time to go cancel my deluxe edition pre-order at BestBuy. Thanks again!

  2. You're going to go in on launch day and they won't have one for you. I'm sorry to break it to you. You best call in and check weekly.

  3. I have recently learned that Fry's is not an exclusive retailer that carries the limited edition. See here: http://forums.gearboxsoftware.com/showthread.php?t=138083

    I am a bit worried now that it is going to get canceled, as it seems that 2K/Gearbox seem to have not allocated ULCEs for Fry's. I have sent an email to Gearbox/2K/Fry's, and I plan on calling Fry's later. I suggest that you call them too.

  4. Hi, have you heard back from Frys? They still seem to have the ULCE available for preorder at their store. I would like to know if they have confirmed to you anything before I cancelled my Deluxe Edition.

  5. The few emails i have sent inquiring seem to imply that they will honor them. As it is less than a month before it is out i have a feeling that if they arent canceled by the first week of september theyll have them in stock.
