Last game I preordered was NFL2k5 (I paid in full aswell, I figured I would be gauranteed a copy) and I remember asking at Gamestop each day but not getting until about 2 days later then everywhere else had it.
    Sure, I'd be happy with 5%.

      Yeah, it used to be worth it for me when Gamestop would call me early. They used to call all of their preorders on Monday nights and we could go pick them up. Now, our damn Gamestop rarely gets a game like The Show before Wednesday, and sometimes Thursdays. I can get it two days earlier at Target, without a preorder. It's just not worth it anymore.

        Pre Orders are pretty useless unless its a massive game like GTA4
        MLB The Show not so much maybe in Boston lol plus when not pre ordering you can call multiple places and get the game ASAP. last year I got it 4 days earlier than I would have if I had pre ordered at a Gamestop/EB Games.

          I'll never pre-order a game from gamestop again. The last two times I did pre-order a game there they didnt get it until about 1 or 2 days after the wal-mart right next to them did.

            I figured because of the lack of options (and I needed to break a twenty and didn't feel like just buying something for no reason) I would preorder and if I can get it at Wal-Mart earlier I will just move the $5 over to a new game that will be coming out.

              Certainly nothing wrong with that. It doesn't hurt anything at all to pre-order....especially if options are limited.

                That's exactly the boat I'm in with my Gamestop. As I said above, preordering used to be worth it when they would get their games earlier than the average "big box" retailer. But that isn't the case anymore. In fact, Gamestop seems to be one of the last ones to get it these days. I don't shop there anymore.

                  I just preordered my copy from videogamesplus.ca! It was a must do for me cause I live in Finland and they don't even sell baseball games here. So the only way to get the show 09 as fast as possible was for me to preorder via internet. But it's still two months away...it's almost painfull to wait. Gotta go back to 08....Just my two cents...
                  No PAIN! No GAIN!

                    I use to order for in store pick from gamestop but I'm going to stop doing that. What I'll do instead is use gamefly. If it's a game I like and want it or would normally buy. I'll get it from gamefly and select "keep it". I won't get charged the full price, instead it'll be $35-$45, sometimes lower. Especially good deal if you're the first person to actually play said game. It'll basically be a new game if you decide to keep it. Only downside is that you'll have to wait to get it in the mail.
