Last time I ever bought anything from GS, true story. I arrived at the store at 12:05 and they were closing the grates and told me I'd have to come back the next day, 'Sorry, bro.' Gamestop then announced that the local store would have a midnight open for the game- this was nice because even though I didn't preorder I still would've had a chance to pick it up upon release. All 5 playd games are not required to be purchased at once in one single transaction. I said screw it and decided not to preorder. I arrived at the store and explained my situation to the cashier who then could not locate my initial preorder in the system- 30 minutes later they'd looked up my account using every bit of information I felt comfortable with providing and still no preorder it disappeared along with the money I had put into it. With millions of gamers worldwide, the opportunity to build a card geared toward their needs seems like a no-brainer, but the card falls short. One afternoon I received a call from Gamestop offering me to upgrade my preorder as Blizzard announced the collectors edition- I'm a Starcraft nut so I decided to stop into the store and do just that. But again, the credit card is not required to become a Pro member. I prordered Starcraft from Gamestop and pumped the full balance into the preorder (meaning the game was 100% paid for so all I had to do was pick it up on the release day). I've never had trouble preordering from Steam, always as advertised.īut.
