Pre-order Bit. Trip Saga from Gamestop, rock out with your chiptunes out

@MercShame

Not even boarding that train. I like Gamestop.

@MercShame the devs don't get any money when you preorder a game, and you can buy the complete soundtracks with far more than just three tracks each for cheap on cdbaby.

also putting money down to preorder a game is stupid. don't do it because the consumer is getting cheated in a very real sense by preorders

@Rocksman mind explaining how developers get no money when you preorder concidering you are paying for the game before its released and even when you put part of the money down you pay the rest when you pick it up so all the money from the sale stillg oes to the devs

@Rocksman
I am asking a legitimate question here, not being a jerk: How does the consumer get screwed by preordering? I often preorder, usually through amazon, for a game I know I want day 1. Never had a problem with it, it always arrives on release day and if they lower the price after I preorder I get the lower price. I'm having a hard time seeing how I get screwed on by preordering.

@(Unverified) Preordering doesnt harm the devs one bit. The company buys the game from them to sell, and you are paying that company. No harm done, plus preording helps you by letting you pay the game off bit by bit. Any one that thinks preordering hurts the devs are dumb. Looking at you @Rocksman.

Oh you'll get to keep your bonus disc to help you remove the price sticker they stick on your new game that isn't even shrink-wrapped.

@EndynOmni
If your Wii is hooked up to a rad sound system, get that version. The 3DS version is supposed to have "new control schemes" or something, so I'd wait for a review to see if the controls actually work on there or not before going for that version.

@EndynOmni

Hope this helps.

Gamestop's good, for the most part.
If you don't have a local game store that rocks = Gamestop's great.
If you have a local game store that rocks = Gamestop's a jerk.

Having a good local game store is awesome considering that they can buy your games for 10x the price that Gamestop's offering, they test and check their used game discs and consoles with more care than most Gamestop employees, and they sell used games for a very understandable price compared to Gamestop.
Not only that, but Gamestop has been known to have uninformed, openly biased, or uncaring employees.

Not always the case, but for many it is. Including me. The Gamestop I used to go to was great - then the manager was transferred to a Gamestop in the middle of nowhere... because his ex got into a higher position than him and "recommended" it.
Now that Gamestop is filled with employees who put on fake smiles and only know what's what through the computer. ...the old manager knew every big title for every console, went out to several conventions, and gave loyal customers freebies and discounts.
The new guys were greatly horrible in comparison.

Now I only deal with my local game store - who are lightyears better. I only went to that Gamestop for the manager.

@Maximo
Oh and Gamestop's a jerk in the way where they make most of their profits through Used game sales. Which the money never goes towards the devs. They encourage buying games used for the most part.
... the local game store I go to has better quality control, a larger variety of used games, and a larger AMOUNT of Used games - yet they still encourage buying games new and preordering to encourage developers.

Ugh, I suck. This was a question for MLS.
