It's rare that I would preorder a game but if I do it's always with amazon or VGP where you can generally get two new games for only slightly more than one over here. Gamestop to me is a store for parents and those with no idea how the internet works, how else can you explain people paying way over the odds for titles and then trading in their game for a quarter what Gamestop resell it at.
I've been a heavy PC gamer since 2000, believe me, my rig get's love and upgrades every summer. unfortunately most of my gaming time is ABSORBED by PC games like BF4, WoW and league of legends, where a little pick up and play is nearly impossible
Agree with the assumption on gamestop customers, and probably also people who have no confidnce with online purchases, or simply put are happy to overspend for some guarantee of release day launch, which is fine.
In the end I'm not overly annoyed about it, like some people are. I get my games from a place that has never failed me and provides a good price and service, so typically I rarely foray outside of Amazon or Steam.0 -
That can be part of it alright. I know that Tuesday morning, I can go to Gamestop and get the game. With Amazon, putting in an Irish address gives 11-13 Sept. delivery date. Putting in a Parcel Motel address gives 9th, but then you don't know if it'll be where you want to pick it up that same day. I've seen in plenty of threads when games are released where people are essentially waiting to see if their game will be delivered, and sometimes it's not. I'm pretty sure I've even seen some instances of the game not coming on the Friday and the following Monday being a Bank Holiday meaning they don't get the game until the following Tuesday.
There's just an element of convenience to it. That being said, I might try the Parcel Motel route for Madden or something and try it out. Want to start ordering games online.
Yeah that's fair enough like. I imagine that people who are savy in terms of online retailing, would shop in Gamestop for some assurance in terms of release date.
Although there has been plenty of nightmares down the years with people not getting a copy from pre-orders being overbooked
I actually have never used parcel motel for my amazon deliveries. I just go through the site directly and I get my stuff always on release day. I might just be lucky.
I've been looking into their Prime service aswell. That guarantees next day delivery on items to Ireland for Prime users. I'm a heavy Amazon user, so it looks like something that might benefit me, getting things sharpish. Plus the added benefit of their Kindle rental service and VOD streaming platform ( Darko would be chuffed for me paying for content :P )0 -

Preordered standard edition from Gamestop. Won't bother with the midnight launch (or their stupid Level 3 loyalty "get in 90 minutes early for pizza and games"), will just go up the next morning.
No more midnight launches for me, by the time I get home I'm only fit for the scratcher.SouthTippBass wrote: »Physical copy from Amazon, won't matter if it doesn't arrive on the day as I won't be available to play until the 15th. Vanilla version for me.
Hmmmmm Day 1 access is essential. Deal breaker. Sad.Probably digital download on Xbox One
Digi is the kiddy, so sorry to hear about your choice of console though.0 -
