indianajones9 Posted March 6, 2002 Share Posted March 6, 2002 Is that the fastest way to get it? Or should i just run (not walk) to my local EB? And who should I preorder from if that is the way to go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedHerring Posted March 6, 2002 Share Posted March 6, 2002 That depends on if EB has it in stock on the day its released. With Renegade, some stores didn't have it on the day it was advertised to be in stores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[CSF] Hawk Posted March 6, 2002 Share Posted March 6, 2002 I'd get it from LEC if i were you, you can't beat the free shippiing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qel Posted March 6, 2002 Share Posted March 6, 2002 EBgames is also offering free standard shipping for JO... ...but i ordered mine from LEC...so I'm hoping that I get mine the last week of March;) Qel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indianajones9 Posted March 6, 2002 Author Share Posted March 6, 2002 I have some games to trade back to EB for store credit as well as a five dollar gift card. So I guess I have to just get it from them. They have been pretty good about getting games on time come to think of it. Star wars gamer had some screens of JO and I never new the game looked so great until I saw those pics. I want it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzzfunk666 Posted March 7, 2002 Share Posted March 7, 2002 I *never* pre-order over the web. What i do is, go to my EB store, put a payment down for a reservation and then wait for the call on release day. Ive done this since many years and *Always* got the games 1-2 days before anyone who preordered em from where ever. Sometimes i just go on the release day and see if copies are left (medal of honor: AA). In JK2 case i think i will preorder it IN store, just to make sure i wont leave without a copy. That'd really piss me off..hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jubei2501 Posted March 7, 2002 Share Posted March 7, 2002 I paid for it in full at EB about a month ago with a gift certificate I got for my birthday. It was the first time I'd ever pre-ordered ANYthing before, that's how bad I got it for this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belgirion Posted March 7, 2002 Share Posted March 7, 2002 I just walked over to my local Gamestop store and put down my $10 reservation for JO...that way all I got to do is sit back in front of my PC and wait for them to call me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locke101 Posted March 7, 2002 Share Posted March 7, 2002 Personally I never preorder. Why, i love waiting in line with like a bunch of other people waiting for the store to open and then BAM! The doors open, we quickly all get to the area where FPS are located in the store. We begin fighting.....Wam, BAM, WACK! I WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! J/K I just don't like ordering online, security reasons really, plus i like going to the store and being the first one or one of the first to pick up the game and buy it!

Bowen Posted March 7, 2002 Share Posted March 7, 2002 I've done both in the past….pre-order and go in to the store (usually EB) the day of the release. I usually go into the store because if the game is released on a Friday, then you may not be able to get it until the following Monday. Sure the stores sometimes run late but very rarely if it's released widely everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belgirion Posted March 7, 2002 Share Posted March 7, 2002 I always like to preorder a game strait from the store. Why? Because you get the game the day it comes out and not a few days later...plus you don't have to pay shipping and handling only that quick and painless $10 fee for reservation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Slart Posted March 7, 2002 Share Posted March 7, 2002 I preordered from EB uk ages ago but they won't take any payment until the game leaves their warehouse. The lsat game I preordered from them was C&C Yuris Revenge (ok it's an expansion but it still counts). I got it delivered to my door at about 08:00a.m. the day it was released in the shops and the store didn't even open for another hour. So that's why I preordered this time. The downside is they are bundling Battle for Naboo for free with all preorders. No T-Shirt for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_Wolf Posted March 7, 2002 Share Posted March 7, 2002 I went to EB at the Valencia Mall in California, and I asked if they were preordering. To much of my suprise, I was the ONLY ONE who placed and order! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkpanther718 Posted March 7, 2002 Share Posted March 7, 2002 I've been torn on what to do really. I have heard mixed things about pre-ordering from LEC. I want the game the day its out. What is LEC giving away besides shipping and handling? Or should I order fromt he EBworld online store? Or just go to EB. Too many choices.

L'Equa Sinar Posted March 7, 2002 Share Posted March 7, 2002 I have pre-ordered JK2 from gameplay.com in the UK, should get it delivered friday 28th early morning! can't wait!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jubei2501 Posted March 8, 2002 Share Posted March 8, 2002 Originally posted by Dark_Wolf I went to EB at the Valencia Mall in California, and I asked if they were preordering. To much of my suprise, I was the ONLY ONE who placed and order! Hmm... I have a feeling that is the case with me as well, or at least it probably wasn't necessary to pre-order, since it most likely won't sell completely out the first day. It just helps me sleep better at night to know that it's all paid for and will be waiting for me to pick it up when released. (sigh) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Ewok Posted March 8, 2002 Share Posted March 8, 2002 You should preorder from LEC. If you act now, you may even get a *drum roll* LAPEL PIN! That is correct! Your very own Jedi Outcast Lapel Pin! heh... I know it's just a free little crap gift and all. But I was really hoping a fully functional lightsaber... SOB... Visions of chopping my A-Hole neighbor danced through my head. *cries* I need help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[NS]_DackL Posted March 8, 2002 Share Posted March 8, 2002 Best Buy always stocks a bazillion copies of the new releases, AND they are almost always 10 dollars cheaper for the first week... So I'm gonna get it for $40 on the day its released. I don't need a $10 lapel pin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swoosh Posted March 8, 2002 Share Posted March 8, 2002 Ugh...I used to work at Best Buy. I don't plan on buying anything there anymore . Going through EB or Software Etc tends to have worked best for me, but I think that I'll pre-order through LEC this time. I don't really care about the lapel pin or anything, I just don't want to have to deal with driving around to get the game and I might even get it earlier. Plus, I have the money to pay for it now...I may not when it comes out! I'm a poor college student Anyways, next time you go to Best Buy and the service is bad, get mad at the managers...it's ALL their fault! Understaffed, underpayed, and unencouraged workers makes for a bad environment that is all the fault of the managers! Best Buy sucks!
