J.K Luke Posted May 18, 2003 Posted May 18, 2003 have pre-ordered/ intend to pre-order SWG? I just pre-ordered mine today.
Krystic Posted May 18, 2003 Posted May 18, 2003 I will probably go physiclally to a gamestop sore near my house and reserve it...Do you think its necesarry though?.... You think people will be flocking to get this game?
Almevox Posted May 18, 2003 Posted May 18, 2003 i plan on doing it when they release a confirmed release date. If its going to be another year or even 6 months i'd rather spend my cash on a new computer then on a game that i dont get to play atm lol .... now if they give you auto acceptence and a s&h free beta enter with a full pre order (as in paying full cost up front to avoid those peope using beta tests as a free trial) then id do it heh

You think people will be flocking to get this game? i dunno about those gamestop sores... preordering isnt neccessary because most likely the game will not sell out on the shelf of a store. besides there are other stores to buy it from. at least i havent seen a game get sold out on a store shelf or get denied because i decided to sleep in the morning. BUT, preordering benefits the few who just want the game before everyone else. in my experience from preordering from ebgames (no i am not trying to plug them, but alas) i ended up getting the game a whole two days before the official release date. sometimes game stores give u bonuses for preordering as well...like a spiffy keychain or a neat-o poster...haha better preordering packages include beta membership before the game actually comes out...i believe it was the sims online that did that
TheMaestro Posted May 18, 2003 Posted May 18, 2003 I work at Gamestop...so of course I pre-ordered. Never hurts to reserve...especially when it's been known that only a certain amount of SWG is being released to start.

If we all put a few pounds together. We must have our friendly hairdresser in the game.
Krymelord Posted May 18, 2003 Posted May 18, 2003 Hehehe I pre-ordered, last year in hopes of the December release. The receipt looks like an old piece of parchment by now. Oh well, all I know is that if they run out before I get mine, someone is going to get knocked out at EB... EDIT: Also if you do not pre order you might have to wait a week or so. With their projected server size and population, SONY might do a time release where they release copies of SWG over a span of three weeks or so. Also not plugging EB, but my local store sometimes opens at Midnight to 1 AM on the night of release of big games, for those who pre-order, giving you the opportunity to get the game earlier if you wish. If I am back by then, I'll be there at 11:30 PM and have the next day or 2 off work. Not that I'm looking forward to the game or anything,
UnfrozenCaveman Posted May 18, 2003 Posted May 18, 2003 I pre-ordered 6/29/02 two copies, one for me and a buddy.
Reborn Outcast Posted May 18, 2003 Posted May 18, 2003 I'm thinking about pre-ordering but I kinda need some money.
The Punisher Posted May 18, 2003 Posted May 18, 2003 I pre-ordered a month ago from EB. OK, seeing as how everyone is "not plugging EB" I guess I "won't plug" them either. EB was the cheapest pre-order I found on the internet, but I doesn't necessarily mean a cheaper one doesn't exist...

J.K Luke Posted May 19, 2003 Author Posted May 19, 2003 I pre-ordered from dvdboxoffice as there's no service charge to ship internationally.
Jackrabbit Posted May 20, 2003 Posted May 20, 2003 I pre-ordered mine at EB a couple months ago. I payed full price, so it's pretty much mine.
TheMaestro Posted May 20, 2003 Posted May 20, 2003 I work at a local Gamestop...the best is when people come in and say, "When is Star Wars Galaxies coming out?" I tell them I'm not sure, and ask if they want to reserve it...they say,"Nah, I'm sure I will be able to find it anywhere, no point in reserving it." Har Har, let them wait and see!
Dr. Zaius Posted May 20, 2003 Posted May 20, 2003 I have not preordered. I live in such a desolate area that there is no need, the game will not sell out around here.
sexxxy_mark Posted May 20, 2003 Posted May 20, 2003 i bet u it won't sell out. there has yet to be a game to do that... console games do sellout tho...cuz they have such a wider audience...grand theft auto 3 for example...i couldnt find one for two weeks in my area.
