Wow. I just make a post about being able to reserve Brawl at Gamestop and now it's become a thread. Didn't expect this.

Probably 5 bucks, but it might be 10 because Gamestop has been changing their preorder policy. For instance, I believe Metroid Prime 3 needs a 10 dollar minimum now.

I'm a bit sceptical to pre order it. I wondering if I want to ask for this for Christmas or not. It's Dec. 3 and so close. Though dissision. I doubt the game will sell out as they rarelly do. Galaxy is a sure thing.

$5 for Brawl. They decided against $10 after the amount of complaining and whining from $10 on Metroid Prime Courrptions, which is sad since it goes towards the game anyways...

Whenever I checked GS before E3 they said "we wont take preorders until we get a release date"

Walk in July 14th: "Oh we're not taking preorders."


Finally.


****ty part is, I was in a Gamespot today, but I didn't try because it was far from my house, and the other one is pretty much my only chance at getting it launch day. So, I'll preorder there when I get the chance.

I wonder if they are doing a midnight release? Hmmm... I think I might wait till brawl is afew more months closer before pre-ordering from a store. Any reason we should pre-order now?

Not any in particular, but at the same time, why not? It's only five bucks. You can pay around 10 bucks or so per month until Dec and it'll be paid off completely!

Hurts the wallet a lot less doin' it that way.

I'd pre-order it, but it's useless. I won't be getting a Wii until after Christmas. -_-

Anyone else worried because Dec 3rd is just when you should be studying for midterms/first semester finals?

Argh... to preorder or not to preorder...

I'd get it as soon as possible, but make sure to keep your priorities straight =p There's always gonna be time for games after you're done studying.

I went to GameStop 10 minutes after it opened this morning, figuring no one else would be savvy to this kind of information... While I had no trouble getting my reserves (SSBB and Mario Galaxy both), I guess there was actually a small line waiting in front of the store before it even opened! I guess everyone has their "inside sources"....

I went to the local EBGames store today with my brother, to see if there was anything worth picking up. We ended up not buying anything, but we did gladly preorder Metroid Prime 3, Mario Galaxy, and SSBB all at once.

The clerk was surprised. He said we were only the second preorder of the day, with him being the first. :laugh:

Possible limited quantities. There will be a cut-off point when there are enough pre-orders. And since about 95% of Wii owners will get Brawl, it's a good idea to reserve but not impossible to get a non-reserved copy on Dec 3.

hmm, they told me reservations wouldn't start until a month before release. they lied to me!

but now i have this info, i can just casually walk in and say i "heard" they were giving reserves instead of looking like some weird fan walking in constantly asking the same d*** question
