Thread: Never pre-ordering again.

I could have told you pre-ordering is a waste of time. Nothing I want is ever out of stock the day of release (popular games too, like MW2) and I live in the most densely populated state in the US. No real reason to pre-order unless you feel you'll be 5 or so dollars short of buying something on release day and if someone is that strapped for cash they shouldn't be buying the game/item anyway. Like is the 5 or so dollar down payment really going to make or break the deal if you have the money anyway? Maybe if they gave me a 5 dollar DISCOUNT off the price of the game it'd be worth it to pre-order. I'd slap down pre-orders if it meant paying 54.99 TOTAL per 360 game instead of 59.99 in a combo of 5.00+54.99.

What a nice, calm e-mail. You didn't even use any profanity... You most certainly deserve cool composure reward.

I like free gifts and deals when I preorder. Plus, it's a indie cd that prob won't be at FYE or whatever when I wanted to get it.

Also, I ordered Bioshock 2 off Amazon because it was 10 bucks off plus they gave a $10 video game credit for my next purchase which will be Heavy Rain.
