I work at a GameStop and our job is performance driven. If and when you cancel your pre-order, it counts against the person canceling it for you in the system and in turn they lose hours the following week if their performance drops significantly. I understand that this is a problem that should be addressed in house with our corporate bosses, but we do strive to give everyone a fair play. eventually, if you continually cancel, our LP department will review your account and flag it to where you can't pre-order and (possibly) be unable to return games.

My store is surrounded by some very poor areas so people use us as a rental service in that respect, so we are really harsh at times because we get fed up with it.



other than that, and like I said, i'm really excited about being a part of this community. I collect vinyl and have been a member of a vinyl forum for years, but I got tired of being restrained to one topic thread to discuss all the cool games and their collectors editions. the one i'm looking forward to the most is Resident Evil 6 Archive for PS3. that is gonna be the jam.
I imagine it's a collossal piss-off for you when people do use Gamestop as a rental service, also that customers can be really mad when you don't take in their games.

Here in the Netherlands, we don't get alot of ''pre-order'' bonusses, and when I see that other countries/continents get WAY better stuff for their money.

Just as everyone when you get it day one pre-order, you get some shitty DLC that's mainly used as a ''pre-order'' incentive.

I admit, admit that I have pre-ordered Medal of Honor - Warfighter for the t-shirt and Battlefield 4 beta key, so in that way I encourage to pre-order it.

But some countries get pre-order bonusses that make me go ''AH THIS IS STOOOPID!''

So yeah, pre-order bonusses make me cry sometimes.
