Does anyone know where to preorder Rome:TW? (United States)

[Nerouin]

I have checked EBGames.com, and their listed price is around $50 with a bunch of extras, I believe.

However, on Amazon.co.uk, the price listed is 25 quid, I believe this is about $40.

I may be wrong on the conversion rate there- but if I am not, does anyone know where I can find a U.S. preorder at around that $40 rate? Thanks so much!

the price is about $50.
i preordered from bestbuy => free shipping

Have not shopped around but I would expect to pay about fifty dollars for it.

Be careful about BestBuy.

I have heard some complaints about some of their branches losing pre-orders.

Best Buy is evil

Twice I've had Best Buy drop the ball on a pre-order, and I'll never use them again. They got the games in three weeks after everyone else did, nice job guys.

"Software Etc" has been superb getting pre-orders on time in the store, try them out if you're near one -- and they have decent prices, $45 for RTW with the teaser DVD.

Oh freakin NO!!!

I gave Best Buy $10.00 on a pre-order deal. If they are delayed by more than a couple of days I WILL go elsewhere.

The Best Buy here in Lexington has 8 unresolved complaints with the BBB. The BBB site also states that Best Buy has been notoriously uncooperative in regards to complaints and charges brought against them....

Yeah, a few years back I bought a Heroes of Might and Magic game from Best Buy that, I found upon opening it, was sans the game CD. Great!!
The customer service people were also not the nicest to us when we attempted to have the empty CD case filled, to put it simply.

I also hate them for their no return policy.

I think I'm gonna preorder from EB, seeing as my mom used my Target gift cards without even asking me . Although I don't mind to much now, because I now have 50 dollars to be used anywhere, not just at Target.

If you want the game fast, pre-order it from EB. I've never had a problem with them on a pre-order.

Personally though, I'll probably go to my local EB and buy it. Why pay for expedited shipping when the store has it the same day?

[Lonewarrior]

After reading this thread, I will never buy anything from best Buy

Well, one good thing about buying a game at Best Buy when it first comes out is that they will price match any advertised price for thirty days from the time of purchase, plus give you 10% of the difference between what you paid and the competitors advertised price. Usually a game like RTW will be advertised with some decent sale price a couple weeks after release; so a trip back to Best Buy gets you the difference +10%.

Then again, if you're not on as tight a budget as I am (or can't be arsed to check the Sunday ads) it might not matter to you.

Don't trust them!
