Why people reserve sh!t, I have no idea. If you don't get it on the release date, guess what? You'll be able to get it later.
And cheaper.
A $59 game on release date can drop to $19 after 6 months.
well guess what ... maybe the people want to play it as soon as possible? ever think about that? :roll:
Wow, what an amazing concept. I've never pre-ordered a game and I've
ALWAYS gotten it on the release date. You want to see me grab Halo 3 without a pre-order when it's released?
Why rag on people because they want to preorder? It gives peace of mind knowing that you'll be able to walk into a store on launch day, pick up your copy without hassle, and go home to play it. True, most of those times you can pick up a copy without preorder, but with a big game like Halo 3, chances are good that the usual suspects of EB and Gamestop will be the only ones who will release it on launch day, of which they usually only get enough copies for preorders (they get a LOT of them). The likes of Circuit City and Best Buy typically get them in the days following launch. For some gamers, they want to be playing alongside everyone else on day 1, so a quick and easy preorder solves that.
You obviously are a big enough gaming nerd to get games on the release day, but you bash those who want to preorder it? Why?
