Did anyone pre-purchase through Best Buy?

I'm tempted to pre-purchase a standard edition through Best Buy, simply because I have a $50 gift card that I've been holding on to since Christmas. How does pre-purchasing the digital download work through them and how do they give you the beta codes and everything?

We've got an update on Best Buy's status for Guild Wars 2 Pre-Purchase: Best Buy Canada is doing Pre-Purchase for the CE through their website. Aside from that they only have pre-order. Best Buy US is doing Pre-Purchase of the Standard Edition (Digital) and Digital Deluxe via their website only. There is no Pre-Purchase for the CE. ~RB2

Not sure exactly how they'd get the code to you, but I'd guess they e-mail you.

Don't suppose anyone else could confirm this? Best Buy isn't always the most competent of retailers... Just would like to make sure before I give them the money.

I bought the DD download on Best buy, they send you an email code that you plug in to their download app, it then downloads and takes you to the guildwars2 page that gets you signed up for their beta emailer dealy. Apparently they will send us an email for the download next week.
