Should I Pre-Order it?

ChiCubsFan4 · **Posted:** Fri Jul 04, 2008 2:48 am

I was wondering if you think this game will be popular enough that I'd have to pre-order it. I doubt it, but just wondering what you think. I'll probably be able to get one on the first day.

i reserved mine just incase it would be popular. first time i reserved any game.
gotten lucky a few times with some popular games of getting the last copy.

I pre-ordered mine yesterday. I didn't want to to waste a trip to the store just to find out that for one reason or another it wasn't on display or didn't come in their shipment. Gamestop said they will call me when they get it and hold my copy, plus I went ahead and paid for most it. It's just a matter of conviance then worrying if the game was going to fly off the shelfs.

Didn't pre order mine yet.

When I got MLBPP 07 I managed to get the LAST ONE IN STOCK!!

How lucky is that?

I pre-ordered it...on accident.

I went to the store on 6/29(Sunday) thinking it was coming out that day. I was so excited to get it since I haven't played the first and I just heard about Power Pros.
So I go to the store to get it and they say they don't have it. They said they probably would get it on Tuesday. I went home and ordered it thinking I'd get it near the end of the week and because I didn't want to have to go to the store again. So after I order, I realize the game doesn't come out for a month and I'm a moron.

I want to pre order it...I just don't have any money at all right now to even pre order it(high school kid that needs to get a job soon). I think I'll have enough by the release date though, which hopefully I will.

I have the money to pre-order it, but our nearest GameStop isn't close enough that's it's worth driving 20-25 minutes just to reserve one. I will go to get it the day it comes out though, that is worth the drive. :lol:

Gamestop said it was only 5 bucks to pre-order. Go mow a yard or do so extra choirs around the house, always worked for me back in the day!

I would've pre-ordered it long ago but I have a dilemma in that I have a Wii as well as a ps2. I'm going to rent it to see if the wii controls are worth the extra money.

Yeah, i think my mom said one of her friends needed her grass cut and would pay me a couple days ago, I wonder if it still needs to be done. Thanks for the advice.

I've tried to pre-order the game 2 times already at Gamestop and the morons who work there keep telling me that the game is already out and they are sold out of it. When I tell them it doesn't come out until the 29th, they look at me like I'm stupid.

centryk · **Posted:** Sun Jul 06, 2008 3:14 am

lol, that sucks. next time, print out the page from their website. since it says pre-order ships out 7/28/2008.
so THEY look stupid.

Are you asking for the 2008 version and specifying just what it is your talking about?

Yes, I've specifically said 2008, for the PS2. I've even mentioned that I know of other people that have it pre-ordered.

Business Sale logic.
If the customer is stupid enough he'll keep coming back and eventually buy something else

Gamestop is greedy.
