You know.... I hadn't even thought of doing that before.  muahahaha >=D Dear God, I think I'm going to get that pewter Doom 3 statue  |

ACtually the only way I preorder is on the internet. I never go to an store and preorder there...  And Internet shops seems to release the game earlier.  |

| I've only pre-ordered once. That was Zelda: Wind Waker, 'cause I wanted the bonus disc. Of course, we don't even have a Gamestop or anything here. Just Walmart and Hastings (Hastings = Blockbuster + Barnes & Nobles + misc. crap), neither or which usually have a great selection (Hastings has better selection, but I get the nice 10% employee discount at Walmart, so I check there first  ). The only time you CAN pre-order at Walmart is when there's a special offer. Hastings will probably reserve a copy, but AFAIK they don't do the special offers. |

| You guys have weird stores. My EB is no different though. Last time I went there were two GIRLS working there.  They seemed pretty knowledgeable too. |

| For whatever reason, I don't goto anything but Walmart, and if that doesn't work, then I just go to the mall. Never had a problem with that combo. |

I usually go to game crazy, but dont reserve. they want me to, and i just bother them, like say"whats so special about it" then they tell me, and i go " I dont know, its five bucks, and i dont know if ill have that money by then, and it is 5 bucks" then i buy my game and leave. |

| You're nuts. You're all nuts. At shops in my area things sell out fairly quickly. If I hadn't reserved Viewtiful Joe for instance I may well never have gotten it. | |||

| About that first post: OK, so there might not always be a need to pre-order, but what's the harm? It's fully refundable, and it makes sure you get a copy in case not enough games get shipped, there's more demand than expected, etc. Plus, as previously stated, cool shit rocks. And sometimes you can get the games the night before or earlier. So all in all, there's absolutely no reason not to pre-order if you know you're going to buy the game anyway. | |||
