I did via internet on Bestbuy.com, but the order got cancelled! I used the money I got back to get SMG, though. I will re-reserve it when my birthday comes (15 days)

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 )
