HAY GUYS

Desperation is going to set in for all those worthless Zunes they have in stock, but that doesn't count as a preorder. My vote goes for Mario Galaxy/Metroid Prime 3/SSBB. These games keep seeing delays, and it always possible (though I hope unlikely) they could be pushed back to 2008, but that won't stop EB from pressuring me for my money now.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

"Thank you for calling EB Games where you can preorder Halo 3 or Wii Play for only $10 wait listen it's a really good deal please I'm begging you if you don't preorder Halo 3 I'll get canned and little Timmy needs that operation. How can I help you today?"

There's nowhere I can't reach.

It's not like it'd hurt you guys to put $5 on a game you're interested in, anyway.

Except that I've got like 2 dozen GS/EBs around here, and if I preorder a game at one, that means I'm tied to picking the game up at that specific location. I've got no idea where I'll be on March 22 (or whenever), so I'm going to buy the game wherever I happen to be. Plus, like Infernal said, popular games like FFXII tend to go on sale the week they're released.

It's been my experience that most GS/EB employees aren't pushy, they're just doing their job. However, there are a few, like the store down the street from my apartment, that bombard you as soon as you walk in the door and just won't leave you alone. Those stores I avoid.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
