Preordering is shit. I preordered MGS3:Subsistence Limited Edition.

I went to EB during lunch the day they first had it available and got the last copy.. I GUARANTEE if I went in there after work that would've been gone.

GS/EB is a last resort for me. I feel bad because I prefer to buy games from gamer stores, but they make me not want to do it because of their annoyances.

The last straw is ordering online. I was going to buy a game from TEN MONTHS AGO and they said that since it was used they couldn't guarantee the original case or manual. WTF? Stop taking in that shit! If you could GUARANTEE me a case and manual I'd be buying 100 games a year used (Higher profit) instead I have to rummage around on Ebay and hope for the best. When you guys go out of business you will have done it to yourselves.

Anyone still looking for GH2: Just order it straight from RedOctane, they've got plenty in stock on their online store.

I remember the first pre-order campaign, for Mortal Monday. It was this revolutionary new concept we were trying at Babbage's, didn't know if it would pay off. People looked at us like we had 7 heads when we asked if they wanted to give us money now for a guaranteed product later.

So glad I worked at that job back in the early-mid 90'when it was awesome (free games, checkout policy, huge employee discount) instead of now. I pity EBGamestop employees.
