Kane99 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 I remember hearing years ago about how some people would put down the initial $5 to put in a pre-order at GameStop, and completely forget they had said pre-order in. I heard it resulted in them making a lot of money because GameStop assumed they weren't going to see those pre-orders happen. So they got to keep the $5 from all of these no-show pre-orders. I wish I could find the article, or story it was mentioned in. But I know it was something about how many pre-orders they have in that are forgotten. It also makes me wonder if some people put in more than the $5. I imagine they have rules that if you don't complete the pre-order they can eventually keep it, even if you put in more than $5. I think it'd be better if they put that money in as store credit instead of keeping it. Considering that money was supposed to go towards a game, so if they forget to complete the pre-order and if they have an account, it should be put in as credit. Or if they don't have an account, then they can place the money on hold for a certain period than keep it if it's never claimed. Anyway, have you ever put money down at GameStop or other stores and forget about it? I don't think I ever put money down for a pre-order and forgot, I'm the type who doesn't like to pre-order to begin with. I don't see a point in doing it. If I want it, I'll buy it when it releases. But I know some people like to pre-order stuff. Then again, pre-ordering might be a thing of the past if video games and other media go completely digital. Which I think is the direction we're heading unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorpion Posted October 15 Share Posted October 15 It’s wild how people forget pre-orders! I’ve never done it myself. GameStop keeping that cash seems unfair. Store credit would help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
