Are extra CAS slots only available through Gamestop?

The thing about Gamestop/EB is...until there is a better place to do the same business (selling/trading/buying/pre-ordering w/ "special offers") I'll be doing business there. There is no other place I can go around here and sell my games with little effort. It also sucks that they buy a game from me for $20 and sell it for $40...but that's business.

I could care less how they handle game trade-ins. They have stockholders to answer to. If you want good prices on trade ins, you need to avoid the middle man (try instead ... Amazon, Half, eBay, Craigslist), just like everywhere else in business.

So back to my question... Is it preorder in general to get the slots or preorder from gamestop/eb?

you should preorder just in case although for UFC Undisputed they said you needed to preorder to get those 2 extra fighters in the game and i went to Gamestop the day the game came out and the code was in there so i got the 2 guys without preordering. But im preordering NCAA just to be sure.

how do you know that? With the way you can reorder conferences its my understanding you can put all 25 in your dynasty (replacing 25 teams of course) but you still can only user control up to 12 teams.

(if we don't meet up) Hmm I think if you added all that up I came out on top going to gamestop but maybe that is just me. Also where I grew up the only other video game store was Funcoland(sp) and I don't think they were a "mom and pop" store. I think the only other video game store now is a place called disk replay but their prices (both buying and trading in) are pretty much the same as gamestop. From what I remember they don't offer you any type of savings card or deals. They also don't offer you the 7 day return window for used games. Trust me it isn't like Gamestop is offering lower prices but it is just they have offer better deals like certain times you will get an extra 20% (30% w/card) if you trade in 5 games. Just little things like that make me want to do business with them. Also yea I may spend a little bit more on a used game there compared to ebay but I don't have to wait for the game to come and I know if anything is wrong with it I can just return it. Some people on ebay don't offer a guarantee on their products.

FUNCOLAND is Gamestop it was the same company before the name change!
