This is the lowest price the expansion has ever been.
Note: Must add to cart for sale price. Expansion set requires base game to play.

I guess the free shipping is only for US right? Been wanting to play Diablo III for a while now.

Great deal, but I don't shop at Best Buy anymore. I think I just have bad luck with them because I know lots of people that get good service.

You could always try to price match another site.

Noob question here, is it possible to just buy the code? and just download the installer on blizzard site?

Not at this sale price. The only place you can buy codes is from battle.net (blizzard's online service) I believe.

But there is the key in the packaging right? Will it work if I let someone buy it for me and they send me the keys of the game? or this is still not possible?

I was checking the website and it says that (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Global-Promotions/Ship-to-Store/pcmcat218900050014.c?id=pcmcat218900050014) "ship to store" is not available on video games. This is quite annoying.
I will see if they will honor their "free shipping on orders over $35" promo on this.

I almost swooped on this but I'm actually thinking about picking up the console version of Diablo 3, too much clicking on the PC version, lol.
Thanks for the link Missalaire! :D

If they won't, you can get them to "express lane" (whatever that is) the game in store. They did that for me. They were supposed to be in stock, but weren't. Now they're shipping it to me.

They weren't even honoring the sale price in the store.

Sounds like a manager decided not to honor the ad. Sometimes there are ****s who do that.

This, that is why I don't shop at BB anymore, why are they even open anymore? :))

Amazon has both the base game and RoS for $20 each. Note, make sure you choose Amazon as the seller for both.

Weird. Usually when I pricematch a Best Buy, it goes very smoothly. I just show them my phone with the price from the browser - even when pricematching bestbuy.com.

BB can be very hit and miss when it comes to price matching. The stores that are closest to me have never given any hassle even when matching Amazon. Other BBs, not so much. I was going to buy a new router and brought in the print ad for Fry's because they were advertising it at a lower price. The idiot cashier and his idiot manager wouldn't honor the sale price because their particular Best Buy store was located more than 25 miles from Fry's. I ripped up my Reward Zone card in front of them and left without saying another word. Ended up getting the router from another retail chain for even less than what Fry's was asking.
Now I don't buy anything from Best Buy unless I'm confident they're going to break even or actually lose money.

Maybe it was just the guy I got at Burlington was inexperienced or whatever.

Amazon has Reaper of Souls for $19.99. When I put it in my cart and completed the order it actually took the price down to $14.99 for some reason so with shipping it came out to like $21.46 or something.

Maybe you had an existing credit already on your account? I added it to mine and it shows normal price.
