Forums - Sales - Gamestop taking Digital Dowload Pre-orders?

Pipedream24 on 30 September 2009

Am I missing something?  What is the point of Pre-Ordering a Digital Download besides letting Gamestop hold your money?  And, is there anyone out there actually doing this?

Gamestop's printer may be backed up for weeks trying to print enough tickets. Go pre-order your copy now.




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

Steam lets you pre-download games before launch and then enables them at launch... every DD system should allow this, and then there's no point in pre-ordering (not that I see a point now).

usually DD services give a 10% discount or a free game to those who pre-ordered.

That happens with retail games too.

I have never seen retailers give away games for free on pre-orders though.
