preorder..or..buy from store

[Takuyo90]

which do you prefer?

i dont realy want to pre order since im guessing that most of the fans did this to wich may make the game come to me 3 days after the realease date .....thats what i think but i may be wrong and it could be in my mail box on that release date,...but still id like experiancing the joy of waiting at walmart untill midnight to get the game its....how do you say?...oddly adventurus....^^

 

[OnyxVulpine]

Even if you Pre-order.. isn't it the same thing as buying it from the store?... Hmm I'm probably mistaken, I never reserve or.. Pre-Order since I usually just walk in and buy it that way. Which I plan to do when Brawl comes out.

 

[OmegaXXII]

I will rather go to the store and personally handpick my own copy of brawl

yup yup yup pluse i realy dont trust preordering with a game as precias as this fine masterpeice..^^

 

[Takeshi245]

I've already pre-ordered, so the choice has been made already.

 

[Pyroloserkid]

My girlfriend promised me that she'd get me Brawl for Christmas, but I have yet to get her to go out and reserve a copy though. I'm hoping she does because I would like to play Brawl on Christmas DAY if I can't play it before then.

With overnight shipping, Gamestop.com guarantees that you get it on the day that it normally ships to stores, so you might have it a day early in some cases.

I'll preorder from a store if I can get confirmation of a midnight opening

 

[Old Man Nintendo]

Pre-Order all the way.

I generally go beyond the $5 minimum that's asked at Gamestop - for Brawl, I paid the full price including sales tax so when I pick the game up on the street date (the Gamestop on 33rd and Broadway in Manhattan is selling pre-orders on 12/3 and selling the rest on 12/4) I can just walk in, give them my name, and walk out w/ Brawl in under 30 seconds... assuming I'm the first on line, which I will be. :D

Yeah, I think it's just you

Usually I only bother preordering stuff if you get a special deal by doing so. Otherwise, I just walk in, grab a copy, and roll out

You know...I just realized almost everyone one of my posts has a smiley in it.... oh well lol.

i already pre-ordered it, but i agree that sometimes you can get screwed over by preordering.

I was getting pretty excited about playing it a day early, since I pre-ordered on express at Gamestop.com. Then I remembered the day before is a Sunday, thus, no mail. =(

oh snap son... :0 (pats back)

 

[maxpower1227]

Already pre-ordered mine. I don't see what's wrong with that. I get to walk into the store the day it comes out and know for a fact that they won't be sold out.

 

[Aeramis]

Preordered mine

 

[NintendoWarrior]

I've already put $5 down at Gamestop. They probably won't get the game till Dec. 4. However, if Walmart has it Dec. 3rd I'll buy it from there in a heartbeat. I could use the $5 at Gamestop towards something else.

 

[specialsauce]

i havent pre ordered but im thinkin bout it most likeley i wont and ill just go to a store that sells games and pick up a copy i mean theres plenty of stores to go to and its not gonna be sold out everywhere mostly only places like eb games but i know its wouldnt get sold out at some where like meijer im pickin up madden later today and i plan on walkin in and out haha

 

[Dark Shard]

Brawl comes out on a Monday, which means for those of us who have school, I don't feel like guarding 50+ dollars with my life for the whole school day. Im going to get the money, get it all done and paid for, then walking there on game day, without a care in the world.

As somebody who was old enough to go buy my own copy of Melee when it came out, trust me: that's a bad idea.

If you live in a small town you might get one on launch. But don't be surprised if you have to try a lot of stores.

 

[Dark Shard]

Everyone tells me it won't sell out, but seriously, why risk such a calamity?

hmmm.........(thinks in a very complexed manner.) calamity is a funny word....LOL

 

[chlor0form]

If you pre-order a copy at Gamestop or w.e, can you just go to ebgames and pick it up instead of having it shipped to you?

 

[FlatSoda]

I go into my local gamestop, (which i can access, 4 gamestops in my area all within a 10minute walk/drive)

and reserve a copy. My gamestop usually gets the games a day or two before, this has happened with my prime 2, my gameboy/ds games. all that. never gotten a game late.

 

[Endless Nightmares]

I ordered from gamestop.com, I'm hoping it turns out well

 

[Snakey]

YEAH! to ensure the finest quality of smash bros, it's gotta be handpicked!

 

[Eternal phoenix Fire]

yup yup yup pluse i realy dont trust preordering with a game as precias as this fine masterpeice..^^

You didn't get to pre-order it, did you?

I rather pre-order so I don't have to break my neck to get the game.

 

[Xaron Fisk]

gonna put down like $15 at gamestop as soon as I get some dough. i don't even have a wii yet though.

 

[shadenexus18]

Believe you me, if you do not pre-order this game or reserve your copy ahead of time, then you'll regret it. When it comes out, you'll be out of luck, because obviously the game will be sold out the minutes after it hits game shelves.

It's obvious that the people who 'prefer' picking it up are just those who didn't get the opportunity to reserve the game. The result is they ask a simple question of preferance to hopefully gain a state of mental security.

Seriously, who WOULDN'T pay down money on a game to secure you a copy? Not to mention that it goes towards your purchase.

They can admit it if they want to.

 

[Revven]

I reserved mine at my local EB Games. I can't play it though until Christmas as it's a Christmas gift despite that I already know I'm getting it. I doubt I can convince my parents to let me have it earlier...it'd be nice if they did though.

I put $5 on it, can't wait to play it when I get it.

 

[dbz22]

I preordered it at a eb games. I live so close to the store I will surly get one. but it comes out on a monday so my mom will have to get it.

 

[Hardcore_Sniper]

pre order from gamestop

they garuntee your copy, or your money back...
which means you can buy the game with that money in case they don't have a copy

are you in middle school or something?

 

[Bassoonist]

Pre-order it? With what money...? XD Besides I don't even have a Wii.

I'll have to wait until I get a Wii which could be next summer. -_-

 

[mukoe890]

i already preordered at gamestop. along with Mario Galaxies. galaxies comes out a month b4 brawl. and just to check ive been hearing different things but preordering is just them holding your copy right and picking it up anytime right?

 

[Revven]

are you in middle school or something?

Haha, no I'm in High School, 16 years old.

 

[IllidR]

Already have mine pre-ordered. I plan on showing up to the store that day and proudly picking up my copy of Brawl.
