How in the world did you pre-order TODAY and still get guaranteed to get it next week? Most places if you didn't have it preordered MONTHS ago you don't get it until a few weeks after it comes out.

*hugs Rhett* Thanks for the linkage, your still my favorite! :D

 

 

Preording is not impossible. I used to be a manager at Sam Goody. We used to push pre-orders for potential big sellers, which at the time, was anything released by Tupac, The Offspring, or Green Day.

 

You can basically pre-order anything up to 24 hours before the release date. In a case with Halo 2, there will be several cases of copy stored somewhere in a stockroom specifically for pre-order customers. Just because you pre-order something, doesn't mean they put your name on it. It just means you are promised a copy. Once all the pre-order tickets are filled, the rest will go out to the shelves, and those will ALREADY be full. Don't get me wrong, all your local video game stores will have TONS of customers and LONG lines on the release date, which is why I decided to get my pre-order at Best Buy. A store of that size has a HUGE stockroom, and most large coporations have the ability to transfer products in from other stores, or arange special shipments from a warehouse. I will go and get my copy on November 9th whenever I decide to get my lazy ass out of bed. IF they have a midnight release, i'll go get it after work on Monday. :) Either way, I am promised a copy, so i'm not a bit worried about it. On the back of my pre-order card it clearly says: "Product will be held 2 weeks after arival date". After two weeks Best Buy will no longer be liable to retain any merchandise for pre-order, and the rest will go out onto the shelf. Work in retail as long as I have, you learn this stuff. ;)
