Did you get any confirmation or details?

hey wazzup ya'll. i am so excited for red steel 2 to finally come out. too bad the only game store within my area is gamestop. i mean pre-ordering a game from them is basically giving them all your money for extra content that should be available annually i think. i'll probably order the game online instead of going directly to gamestop. peace out ya'll.

You don't pay any extra to pre-order, so I don't see the problem. But if you don't like them, buy from someone else. That is how capitalism works.

except that you have to pay them 5 dollars and if you don't get to the store within around 4-6 hours after the store opens they might not have your pre-order anymore (4-8 hours is the average time that they keep your pre-order before deciding to sell it to someone else...)

I'm not sure about that. All the Gamestop's around here hold your game for 48 hours after release. I haven't had any problems picking them up on time, but that could be an issue for some people.

If what Burito said is true, and he is a man of his word, that is a douchey thing to do to a customer who has a pre-order

that's what they're supposed to do but many of them will instead opt to sell your reserved game to someone else if they run out of copies (I recall a story once where they sold a person's game literally an hour after they got their stock in...)

I usually try to be a man of my word but since the human brain will fabricate memories from time to time sometimes my information will be a little off...(once I messed up which leg I got caught in the car door... )

I think that is more of a case of bad employee than bad company. I haven't had a bad episode with them yet. Let's hope it stays that way.

still even 48 hours is a little short for a preorder...(I would expect them to keep it at least 5 days since you already payed them 5 bucks!)

uhh... ubi_wuzzi? any update?
