Cube Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 i thought that you didn't get it on hardware? i suppose you could get it on the extra games. i am not a student though I asked if they did student discount, and the guy said "yes, but not on pre-order deposits". calender: 7th December: Get up 8:00, eat, get ready, walk to uni. Lectures/Problem Classes/Lab Classes from 9:00 to 18:00 (with 1 hour break). Go home, eat. Go out, drink. 11:00, wait outside Game. 8th December: 0.00, Store (hopefully) opens, buy Wii, go home, play Wii, (hopefully home for 1:00), play till 10:30. Be late for lecture.

Guest Stefkov Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 I asked if they did student discount, and the guy said "yes, but not on pre-order deposits". I wonder if college students can get a discount... My diary for the day can be one of 3: 1) Get up at 7. Get ready and get bus to college. Have all Friday lessons !! Finish college at 3:55. Go to Grandparents till 6. Go to Manchester Fort and get my Wii, play on it all night. 2) Same as above, however the change: Not go to Grandparents, Go straight to Manchester Fort by bus or parent picking me up. That would make it about 4:30/4:45. Go home and play all weekend. 3) Get my mum to take me to Manchester Fort for the opening of GAME at 8. Go home play on Wii till 11-ish/12. Go to college saying I had a headache. 4th option which won't happen, I highly doubt, however hope, a midnight launch. Go to bed when i get home from college after homework. Get up for 10, go to GAME, open for 12. Get! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stocka Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 edit: I also found out that Game do student discounts: so those in uni, take your U-Card when you buy the console. Does that include A Level students? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine ends in 11. Its a conspiracy, I say. Does that include A Level students? I don't know. I just asked today, after GameStation told me about student discount there.

flameboy Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Does that include A Level students? at hmv we only usually accept cards with the nus logo on them, which means university student, but someplaces will accept all kinds of cards.

Charlie Posted September 28, 2006 Author Share Posted September 28, 2006 I got a student discount with my Young Scot card (which has the Pass hologram) a couple of days ago. I'm not sure if it will work everywhere, but it worked in The Officers Club and Top Man.. Just try any card that says you're young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeyking87 Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Can I point something out? Doesnt what place in the queue you are mean nothing, just WHEN you turn up on the day? So as I pointed out earlier a person numbered 80 can take person number 1's console? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So as I pointed out earlier a person numbered 80 can take person number 1's console? Does it really matter? I'm sure all that will happen is that when the shop receives their allocation of Wii's the 1st thing they will do is put aside the number that is preordered and take one from there everytime a customer who has preordered comes in. Only problem I can see is if their allocation does not meet the preodered number and then they would have to make a cut off point e.g only the first sixty who preordered can have theirs. If they sold them to just anyone who preordered then what would be the point??? I have faith I will get one on launch day I'm number nine in my local games store.

ZeldaFreak Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 You must turn up on the day to collect it otherwise, if they are in short numbers they will just put someone else in their place -thats why they haven't asked for a deposit.

Ashley Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 The ending digits with the deposit at Game will have nothign to do with your number in the queue, more than likely it corresponds with your giftcard number. But im too lazy to go find my wallet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
