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. |
If you pre-order online you don't pay any money until the game is on it's way [amazonUK or play.com] I have never pre-ordered a game in a store but I think you just put your name on a list usually... perhaps big gameslike brawl are different. I had to give a £20 deposit for my Wii "pre-order" though [quote marks are because I had to pre-order it 2 months after release] Pre-ordering is not big here, things like Halo obviously got pre-ordered but If I went in a store now to order No more heroes I doubt the store clerk would let me bother, instead just advising me that I will be able to buy it day 1 [which is true]
