shagge Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I boycotted them years ago. My GF still shops at our local GS though. 'I want to keep money in the local economy'. She's such a hippy. Of course, what does she get for being so nice? Well, it took GS two months to send her a pre-order code. Looks like she'll finally be able to get in tomorrow. Maybe this will finally get her to stop shopping there! Lol keep dreaming. I gave up on game stop a long time ago because it took them forever to get a game into the cheap rack unlike other places.

KSheriff Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Really seems like it all depends on the employee. Some are idiots, and some know what's up. I pre-ordered, and asked about the code when I did so. They told me I should get an e-mail with it (an e-mail address that I provided GameStop with). I waited a couple days, and got nothing, so I went back in to cancel my pre-order. At that point, I was told that I could get a code if I went to another location. Pissed me off, but I got my code.

fordfanboi Posted December 15, 2011 Author Share Posted December 15, 2011 I was recently informed that Amazon does release day shipping for $0.99. I've always used Gamestop so I could get it on release day - but always had to pay local tax. Currently Amazon is no tax. Might be the way to go after this lesson learned.

fordfanboi Posted December 15, 2011 Author Share Posted December 15, 2011 how? the first day of pre-orders was 7/21 did you get a preorder from a chinese bootlegger or something? I'm thinking Gamestop lets you preorder stuff before they have actual ship dates. I assume Gamestop didn't send codes to those who preordered before codes were available.

fordfanboi Posted December 15, 2011 Author Share Posted December 15, 2011 (edited) Im still constantly amazed at how many gamers foolishly pre order anything other than console games from Gamestop. Gamestop is the worst place in the world to pre order a PC game unless your one of the very few that live in a tiny town that has a gamestop that works in mostly PC. Those are a rare breed. I did live in a small town until 2 months ago and Gamestop was about the only way to get same day releases. Now that I'm in a large city, I should be picky-ier it seems. Skyrim midnight release was pretty cool tho. Edited December 15, 2011 by fordfanboi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sireene Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Hey there! We're going to go ahead and close this thread as it is off-topic and centered around GameStop. Please keep all threads and topics in General Discussion directly related to Star Wars™: The Old Republic™. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
