Posted June 14, 2006 What're the pros and cons of buying from the internet? I've always gone to get my consoles from my local GAME on launch day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 14, 2006 Preordering on the internet has the usually has the advantage of being cheaper than when buying from the high street (gcn games cost around £30 on the internet). Its also less hassle. However, if you dont use 1st class delivery on most sites then it doesnt usually arrive for about a week (this is the case with amazon anyway).

Posted June 14, 2006 Well for the Dreamcast, GBA and Gamecube I've always pre-ordered from GAME and I'll probably do the same for the Wii. It's great going in on Launch day (may even go in at midnight for the Wii) and seeing the console and games on the shelves!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 14, 2006 I'll preorder mine as soon as I know when it is out and what the price is. I'll get it in GAME in Dublin. I'll be back in college when it comes out so that would suit me down to the ground. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 14, 2006 Pre-ordered my PS2 at the end of September 2000, had it on launch day. and that system was hyped! I didn't pay a penny, and GAME won't be earning months of interest of a non refundable £20 deposit. I'll probably order it online (Amazon/Gameplay) if they don't do a Nintendo stars VIP Wii as a thank you to get some hype out there pre-launch. Launch parties are good but only if GAME don't ask for a £20 deposit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 15, 2006 Does anybody know is amazon would get mine to me on the launch date if i were to pre-order from them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 15, 2006 Even if it is refundable it is still a principle, that £20 could be in my bank earning me a quarter or a penny interest. If Amazon/Gameplay don't charge me for expressing my interest in their custom then GAME shouldn't either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If Amazon/Gameplay don't charge me for expressing my interest in their custom then GAME shouldn't either. But Game, with the 360 at least (as its not clear on stock levels for the Lite) were the only store (the site is a different company) who got a 360 for their pre-ordered customers. The £20 comes off in the end. And if you put a deposit down on Monday, you wouldn't earn any interest prior to Friday anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
