YAY FIRST REPLY

I did

[Shoraro]

Me too, at a shop rather than mail order though.

[Stormer]

i did preorder it, but cancelled it because im gonna go down the shop and buy it on the day instead of waiting 3 days for delivery

[The_Emperor]

Did I preorder it?? What are you kidding!!

yeah I put my deposit down. Roll on the 1st Oct.

[Basileus]

well i never pre order anything, when it gets here i´ll drive to a shop and buy it or ask a friend whos flying over from the states on friday to bring me a copy heh

[Colt374]

Yep, I pre-ordered through EB's. So of course if the game doesn't live up to expectations, (which I severly doubt), I can always return it.

I sort of pre-ordered it. I also reserved it in a shop...probably get it sooner that way.

[Kaiser of Arabia]

i preordered it at gamestop so yay I get it when it comes out

[Soulflame]

Pre-ordered, but only because I know it was a very good price and I don't think it will be cheaper anywhere else (at least in Holland). Pre-ordered at 39 euro's. 10 euro cheaper then the large chains, and 5 euro cheaper then most online discounters.

[octavian]

i am going to preorder it today, total cost will be a measly $57 Canadian including tax, with no Shipping & Handling. :D

[Bob the Insane]

I don't usually preorder because there is a GAME right by where I work so I pick up any new release Friday lunch time....

[sdrga]

I was adamently against pre-ordering (reserving copy, forget about mail-order) because I didn't want to be locked in to one shop on "The Day".


However, after finding out that one EB (out of 10) in the area had 20 pre-orders, I went ahead and chickened out and did it.

[ShellShock]

I don't really think there is much point to pre-ordering - games are always on the shelves in the local shop on the day of release.

However, I might have to think again if here in the UK it is confirmed that it will not be released until 1 Oct.

[andrewt]

My local shop told me they don't have much PC sales so they focus more on stocking for the console side. Unless the PC game is very popular, they won't order much and might order a week or two late. That's why I always reserve a copy of games I want on the release date. That way, it's guaranteed to be in stock.

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.

[Colovion]

I work on Wednesday so I didn't want it to be sold out. I don't think that it will be sold out but here's why I pre-ordered my first game online:

Futureshop.ca has the shipping/release day on the 22nd!!

*runs away*

[Gregoshi]

I pre-ordered primirily to get the DVD EBgames was handing out with pre-orders. Regardless, I plan on having my nose pressed against the mall's doors waiting for them to open up first thing in the morning.

[lars573]

I did 2 months ago. Got an extra special preview DVD with a G4 techtv dev interview and the officail trailer to boot.

[Al Shama'ar]

I did. From Amazon.
Who knows when it will be available here in Portugal.
Don't want to wait that long.
I still remember MTW was like 2 months late.

[Leet Eriksson]

the reason i pre-ordered was becuase Rome will never come here until after at least 5 months, almost every activision game does that , the only thing that comes in time are games published by EA (sims 2 was released the same day here as it was around the world for example).

[Ldvs]

I also did from amazon.co.uk although I'm french. Not only because it's out 7 days earlier but it's usually cheaper and better than the french versions.

[maestro]

Yeah, definitely! I want it as soon as is humanly possible!

[nokhor]

i pre-ordered months ago, but can't remeber who i pre-ordered from and i accidentally deleted the confirmation email. i know that it wasn't one of the giants like amazon and i know that it was offering the bonus dvd which is why i got it there. so hopefully i should get a shipping confirmation email soon.

[Tricky Lady]

I haven't pre-ordered. I'll check a few of the game stores around here to buy the game as soon as possible after its release in Belgium...

[ah_dut]

no preorder game and virgin usually buy waaaaaaaay yoo much stock to worry about that

[Axeknight]

Amazon preorder. I hate the high street, so I shop online.

[[DnC]]

First time I ever preordered a game, but I'm still gonna take it off at the store though.. It's about 2min away from my "current" home.
