Like my town-100,000 people-baseball season is upon us-gee-if I were a manager I'd be thinking,maybe there's some people out there that might want a baseball video game? na-that's crazy.
          Maybe after the horrible game that 2K put our last year they are afraid to over order it?
          I agree I would never tell a customer over the phone you are "outa luck" bet then again I dont make 7 bucks a hour either. Most of these guys are college students working their way through college, give them a break.

              Nice post, lol ...

              It's funny you mention all this, because I raised an eyebrow today as well about pre-orders.

              When I called GameStop, the guy told me about it coming in tomorrow, and he 'recommends coming in today and putting down five dollars to reserve a copy'. I think to myself, why should I? If it comes out tomorrow, it comes out tomorrow; there's a dozen places within a ten mile radius that I could get it, hypothetically. I'm calling you to see if I can get it today.

              Then it dawned on me: they want you to reserve it with them - news flash - so that you'll buy it there opposed to somewhere else.

              I wouldn't go so far as to call it a racket, but there's definitely an monetary incentive for them, and very little reward for us in all this.

                Yup, after calling a handful of places around Palm Beach County, I gave up. I have to work tonight anyway. I reserved a copy at a nearby Gamestop and it looks like I'll be enjoying the game tomorrow with the vast majority of everyone else.

                Good Luck.

                  The reward is that you are guaranteed to get the game tomorrow. I hear this every year and then see the same people complaining that they cant find the game release day. I would rather put 5 dollars down and only have to go to one place then worry about finding the game release day and calling every store to see if they have it.

                      Anyone who ordered from EBgames.com have their order status changed. Mine is still showing "Usually ships in 24hrs". Just curious.

                        I just got back from my local Walmart (Evansville, Indiana). I went in for other things, but thought I would check out the video games. The guy there was shelving games and actually had about 30 copies of MLB 07 The Show. I picked one up and asked about 2K7. He told me that they had several boxes of them in the back but that he couldn't put them out until at least midnight.

                        Now, I didn't think this game was street dated. Am I wrong? He said they would be putting them out at the same time as tomorrow's CD's and movies.

                        So I found a place that actually has the game - I just can't get the guy to sell it to me!

                            Dude pre-ordering has been around for a while. And you do know that the money you put down to reserve the game goes to the cost of the game right? Its more a a convienence than anything. Not only does it garantee you a copy on release day but it also saves you from hunting for it. I for one pre-order 99% of the time. There are no gimmicks or games being played with you by eb. A pre-order is just simply a pre-order.
