I refuse to buy anything from Worst Buy that isn't less than 30 bucks anymore. I've never had a problem personally, (and I've never fallen for their pressure to buy a worthless service agreement) but they're still one of the worst companies around. And man, the horror stories. It doesn't surprise me at all that there's still a hold on your money. I wouldn't hold my breath on actually getting it, either. A few months ago the morons at the one near us called the police on a man who tried to use two dollar bills to pay for something. They accused him of trying to use fake money: no one at the entire store knew that the bills existed as legal tender. The poor guy was hauled away, and the secret service was called in all to confirm that Best Buy hires the lowest forms of life imaginable to match its backward screw-over-the-customer policies. http://www.bestbuysux.org

While your card company may give you some runaround, they are legally obligated to cancel the payment and can not charge you for what you view as a fraudulent and unsatisfactory transaction.

Silly me! haha. I could play BF2, but I'd have to get BF2:SF. I'm currently saving my money for XBOX 360-related stuff, and FTG has moved on to SF. Oh well, I guess I just need to learn patience ...

They don't have it yet, but it's like a pending payment. It's inaccessible, so it's like they charged it. And the only way I can lift the hold is to cancel the order. Decisions, decisions ...

That is like giving a loan to Best Buy. They should be paying you interest until your 360 ships! That is truly crummy that they actually charged you for something that is on backorder.
