Those days are over, but Best Buy is bringing back the spirit of the deal. Right now, when you preorder select games (including The Blood of Dawnwalker), you\u2019ll get a free $10 Best Buy digital gift card at launch. That\u2019s the best (and only) deal going on most of these games. Let\u2019s take a look at the current offerings.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2 data-cy=\"title2\" class=\"title2 jsx-1903782357 jsx-3735650234\" data-toc-title=\"Featured in this article\">Free $10 Gift Card When You Preorder These Games<\/h2>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">So what games are we talking about, specifically?

It\u2019s an open-world action-RPG from some of the creative minds behind The Witcher 3 \u2013 which is about the most compelling thing you could tell me about any game. It\u2019s set in 14th-century Europe, when powerful vampires have taken over a city in the Carpathian Mountains. You play as a Dawnwalker, a human by day and vampire by night, who fights to take back control of the region.
