Babbages/Gamestop Question

[SarcasticDwarf]

Is there any way to reserve a copy of a pre-release game online so that it can be picked up at the store on the exact day of release (instead of paying $9 for overnight shipping)?

 

[Actaeon]

Don't think so.

You have to reserve it at the store I believe.

if yer gonna swing by to pick it up anyway, mind as well go and reserve it in store. i guess they aren't quite your best buy yet..

The point was to save me driving there simply to reserve it.

They won't guarantee you a copy unless you put $5 down first. Which usually involves driving to the store.

Is there something terribly wrong with driving over there and putting money down?

No, but it would cost $1 in gas each way

Yes, but it is still a waste of $$$

 

[Jombo]
