Wow, you have to pay to reserve in the US? Here when you pre-order websites only take the money when they dispatch the game to you. |
Duh. How does reserving games work in your country? Here, you pay money, typically a $5 minimum. It goes towards the game's cost...so you typically pay $45 when you pick up the game...and you can put the money towards a different game if you cancel...not sure if you can get it back in cash though.
There's high demand for games, and putting money down on it ensures that you get a copy...otherwise everybody could walk into a store and "reserve" a game, and never come back for it...that'd suck. It'd be an overstock of software.
And anyway, like I said before, reserving's dumb, you can typically get your game without reserving. It's systems that should have reserving.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release. (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )
