i used to go to gamestop, but then i realized amazon is probably the better deal, you get it on the same day, plus usually something free and $10 credit.

something free as in uniforms in madden12, sti in forza, fathead for fifa 12...

 

I go directly to the retailer... ie: EA games

if they don't offer it then i see if best buy has it h:

 

I do it from Amazon, game day release delivery and usually perks like $20 off next game, etc.

 

No where.

 

if i do it, amazon.

 

Buddy just did it from amazon.

That's where I'll do it in the future.

 

Amazon.
- game credit for next time (almost every time)
- no tax
- release day delivery

"Release day" is basically whenever UPS can make it to your place. No big deal for me because I'm never home before 8pm. If I worked in an industry where release day happens to be my off day, fuck that ... getting that shit from Walmart to max my playing time.

 

+1, i'm home by 10pm every night, so it doesn't matter.

 

I used to from Gamestop, but then realized it was easier to just go to Walmart and pick it up at midnight than wait in line at Gamestop's Midnight Madness events. Now I don't usually preorder unless I find a discount somewhere (like newegg has $10 off sometimes). I've been buying games preowned mostly lately anyway.

 

Gamestop because I have a friend that works there and she gets commission or something for preorders
