When Wiifit launched I didnt pre-order and the next day after they got it in i went in and bought someone's pre-order of Wiifit. The guy told me not to worry about it and that people don't come for weeks to pick their pre-orders up. I told him if it was pre-ordered I would just go into the Target next door to buy one and he told me not to worry and sold me it.

This happens all the time to people that's why I say never pre-order any game and if you want it that badly go the day of release, there is always a supply of a game the first day.

I agree 100% the reasons places want you to order is because it brings their profit up. Gamestop for example has you put down money on your pre-order. Minimum is $5.00 that deposit is non-refundable therefore it goes on there bottom dollar. You will never get that money back. You can move it to another game but you will never see that $5.00 again. Automatic profit whether you buy the game or not for Gamestop. You get enough people to do that and you get massive profits. Look at Gamestops last financial report.

 False. It is refundable. I can tell you this because I've worked at Gamestop for a year and a half, and everybody who's wanted their money back has gotten it. We discourage it because it goes against our numbers, but anyone who flat out refuses to give you your money back should and would be fired.
