Otherwise reserving games is pointless...sometimes your store doesn't even get the game on day 1, and then you're screwed, because you're tied to that store. If one Gamestop doesn't have Brawl on day 1, I'll go to another one, or a Target, or a Wal Mart...there's lots of stores out there. If it was a lesser known game, perhaps like Zack and Wiki, then maybe reserving has a point. But for SMG, Brawl, etc...reserving just ties you to one store. |
You can transfer the $5 at EbGames/Gamestop to another purchase if you don't pick it up. I did that with Zelda: Twilight Princess....since I bought it with my Wii at Target on launch day at 7 am. EBGames wasn't going to sell it until 9 am and I needed to play/go to sleep ASAP. So I just pushed that towards Elebits.
