You know if you do'nt preorder and you do'nt get off of work early you may find they are sold out. Gamestores will do overnight shipping for the people that reserved there copy and some extras for expected sales within the next few days. Now if there estimate was off or the distribution company is overwhelmed and having trouble meeting the demand you may find yourself short changed. I remember getting off work and getting to the mall at 8:50 PM, 10 minutes until closing. I had gotten 1 of the last of 3 copies of that game and the other 2 were reserved. Mine was also reserved and if I had'nt reserved it I would have had to wait anywhere from 1 to 7 days on average to get the game. So the question is it wo'nt change the price of the game and are you willing to risk that you have to wait a few extra days.
