Posted September 21, 2006 I'm number one in my store though with the 360 launch they made people buy 5 games at full price to get one. If it is a non refundable £20 deposit I will be requiring a paper copy of the terms and conditions. Be cautious consumers is what I say, big retailers like Argos, Tesco and Game often get good stock on top of their pre-orders before a certain date. Don't get pwned by greedy ass managers.

Posted September 21, 2006 Why, that list doesnt mean anything Yep Serebii's right, that list just puts you down on there email list so when they start taking pre-orders everyone on there list will get an email. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But the lad said (how reliable this is??) that you'll be contacted and given a number in order of the list!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 21, 2006 The list in question - once we know whats happening everyone on that list will be contacted and be told what is happening. We know nothing more. I'd guess we'd ring everyone on say a Wednesday and tell them pre-orders start on the following Friday. But as I said, the company tells us jack shit.

Posted September 21, 2006 I phoned my friend who works in the GAME near me. She said they not taking pre-orders yet but will let me know when they are and will make sure that i get one on launch day!! I love her Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 21, 2006 im gunna pre-order as soon as game allow preorders ...me and bro are paying half each towards it now (with zelda and metroid) Sorry, but Metroid is a 2007 game now. It won't be at launch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 21, 2006 As said above i doubt the list means shit. Yes they will phone those on the list but it wouldn't surprise me if they put a big ass poster in the window saying pre-order now as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Believe it or not, they are big on customer loyalty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 21, 2006 I don't trust play.com. Simple reason - my sister preordered the Razorlight album from them - it took ages to arrive - a time after release! I'm ordering everything from Amazon.co.uk as soon as pre-orders are activated. My lot will be: Wii bundle Second controller & nunchuk Zelda Twilight Princess Red Steel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 21, 2006 I don't trust play.com. Simple reason - my sister preordered the Razorlight album from them - it took ages to arrive - a time after release! you see I ordered from them for my wii, based on the fact that I have preordered so many dvds/cds and they have turned up on if not before, like on the saturday before the monday release date. (admittedly not something I would AT ALL expect to see with the Wii). I'm just gonna go on the net thursday if it hasn't been posted cancel the order and run into town friday morning!

Posted September 22, 2006 If it is a non refundable £20 deposit I will be requiring a paper copy of the terms and conditions. I'm not sure about other shops, but the Gamestation £20 deposit is refundable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure which store you're talking about but this certainly doesn't happen at Gamestation - not as long as I've worked there anyway. The £20 deposit is completely refundable, even after launch if you chose not to get one from there. Also you can always buy any console hardware solus, and certainly with the Wii there will be bundles but anyone can leave the store with just the box for £179.99 if they so wish.

Posted September 22, 2006 I've never had an issue with play, Pre orders always come a day early, or on the day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 23, 2006 I haven't pre-ordered the Wii and nor will I. My economy is down the shithole right now as I've spent far much money over my budget. Bought a new clock for $1595 yesterday for example. But I'll definately have it before christmas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
