To the people who pre-ordered their games

Yes, they are a large corporation but they are one that is focused and thus those that run the little shops are hyperfocused too. When it comes to either supporting that style of business or selling out for a recruiting guide....its a no brainer for me. Gamestop gets my dollar.

I don't buy from Gamestop because they are the reason we pay $60 for new games, not $50.

I pre-ordered with Gamestop because of the jerseys and the extra trade-in value. Of course, any credit given never seems to be enough. It's like the feeling you get when you trade in a car. You know you are getting low-balled, you know they are going to make money on your trade, but hanging onto old games is just sad. I kept games for the original Xbox for too long, and got pennies on the dollar when I tried to sell them a few years later. If you wait, they are worthless.

When I pre-ordered I felt less excited about the game than any other year. Football in July? Again? Even getting Phil Steele's college football preview magazine hasn't helped. This might be frustration with the two big scandals in college football: OSU and Cam Newton's Heisman. NCAA 12 had better be good, because the real world is lacking some fun.

i'm hearing that K-mart is giving you a $20 credit towards future gaming if you preorder in store. Makes it difficult but $20 towards madden would really help.

I've never ordered online with them, I would imagine you could as there is a # on the back of the power-up card.

i just did Gamestop. I probably won't use the uniforms but I've given up on finding it early and gamestop is walkable from my place, just a block away. Plus I don't want the recruiting help. Isn't it supposed to be hard? I don't want any cheats or short cuts.

Yeah, I just remembered that. I hope that works for gift cards, too, because I got my refund on a game with a gift card.

Can you get the gamestop preorder, go buy it, get the uniform code, then return the game for a refund? Does anyone know if the uniforms code is outside of the actual game? Like say a card that they just throw in the bag with the game? I want those uniforms but already will be getting the game early..
