Wow, it works just like the rapture. Has GS/EB considered founding their own religion?QuickKick89 said:You are GUARANTEED to get a Wii, but the date you get it IS NOT GUARANTEED

"You are GUARANTEED to get a Wii, but the date you get it IS NOT GUARANTEED (he specifically told me that you are not guaranteed to get your system on launch or anytime during the Christmas season)."
So youre NOT guaranteed a PS3? Ever?
Its like a PS3 lottery?
50$ gives you a white ball?
thats what im thinking. they cant be that retarded to not accept cash in hand.gimmmick said:Yeah I doubt my gamestop will be saying "No, can't accept your pre order" when I put down half the cost of the little F***** come this monday. It's just stupidity at it's finest if they don't.

SuperPac said:Sneaky and shitty, but if it'll keep things from being as much of a fiasco as they were with 360 last year...
ijm72 said:Man **** that!!! I was actually planning on preordering the PS3 but I'll just wait until I can walk into the store and just buy it. Im not standing in line again especially with all the ebayers and I know the PS3 wait is going to be ten times worst than the 360.
ijm72 said:How much do they give for the Xbox?.
I hope so, otherwise I don't see the point.drohne said:i don't think they mean a physical line -- i think they mean a spot on a list of reservations. the whole point of preordering is not standing in lines.
QuickKick89 said:The only loophole I can think of is that right now we have a deal where you can get $10 extra added to your trade-in for Xbox, ps2, psp, DS, and GC. The deal does say that this can go towards it.
...so feasibly, you could buy about 12 games for $5 apiece, trade them all in, get 10 for each of the 3 games (making 40) and then the amount for the regular tradeins should cover the last 10 bucks.
I expect many people to start doing that.
this won't stop profiteers, they'll just buy a ps2/dsl and trade it in...

No he doesn't, this shit is fake. This Abe Lincoln over here says so.omg rite said:Pez needs to get in here
i ****ing hope so. this is bullshit imo.EB Guy said:No he doesn't, this shit is fake. This Abe Lincoln over here says so.
aparisi2274 said:I agree... We both work for EB... Now lets all think about this...
1. It supposed to start on Monday, has anyone recieved any signage for their store, letting customers know this? NO!!!
2. All, and I mean all marketing material has both the Gamestop store logo and the EB games store logo... This one just has GS... Again I say BULLSHIT!!!
3. You can not force people to come in and trade in games to get a system. If I am a parent, and I want to preorder for my kid, and because I didnt come in with $50 trade in crap, I cant... Again I call BULLSHIT!!!!
Well I dont know what else to say to prove this is BS...

cvxfreak said:They will.
And if this is true, then I'll simply do the trade ins. I have tons of stuff to sell or trade anyway.
Bad_Boy said:hmm interesting.
say i bought a 5 dollar used game, how much do they accept in credit if I trade it back?
not to mention do they even have 5 dollar games?
QuickKick89 said:Some reports claim this as legit, some don't.
I talked to my DM today and she had no clue when preorders would start, since we don't have an allocation yet. I dunno...maybe its a by-region thing.
M3wThr33 said:Well. I figure you can discuss the loophole at the store ahead of time. Especially if they think it's bullshit, too. I'll go down sometime and discuss it with them.
If not, I have some useless sports game I've never touched that'll help.
QuickKick89 said:I actually got all this from the Gamefaqs board...C/ped.
Sorry for the confusion.

Amir0x said:wait so is this true or not, i thought you were in a position to tell us Quick
aparisi2274 said:ITS NOT TRUE!!!!!!!!
for the last time... I work at EB, and if this shit was real we would have gotten some sort of signage from the home office alerting us to the fact that there would be this preorder thing starting on Monday!!!
I mean shit, I get signage for games that are still months away from release, and now you are telling me that all of a sudden there is going to be this magical sale on Monday where people can come in and preorder a wii or PS3 but with trade in's only?!?!?!?!?
People come on, lets take a break... lets all get up from the PC's for a second , go take a walk around your room, clear your head and come back to the forum, and ask why a huge system like wii or PS3 is going to have a uber secret preorder campaign?
