Icon5 How many of you have put $5 down on a preorder and forgotten about it?

I was just wondering how much money Gamestop and others are making on customers who plunk down $5 to preorder a title and then forget about it and just lose that $5.

So I ask all of you, who here has ever preordered a game for $5 down (or whatever amount) and then forgotten about it when the game came out?

Anyone?

When I preorder I always go ahead and pay the full amount straight away. But I only preorder the Show. I also used to always preorder EA's NCAA football but obviously thats shot now

I did once a few years back. Can’t remember what game. Myself have always wondered how much money GS have made on this over the years.

never. i only pre-order like a month before the game comes out at earliest and its usually later than that. plus i pre-order like 2-4 games a year so there is nothing to forget.

oh and make that 1 game a year from gamestop if that. i only go to them in rare cases.

I generally do pay off a game entirely but there have been a couple times I've dropped $5 and forgotten all about it..

So I know Gamestop has probably made $10 or so on me in my life..which may not seem like much but if your add it up with lots of customers it is an obscene amount of free money

Your Gamestop doesn't call you to remind you of the release and then again if you didn't pick it on release day?
