J Rokk, two or three ain't gonna cut it, you gotta get 20 or 30!!
Just kidding, but try your best to get as many as possible (and sign me up for a copy as well!).

Me 2 please

If my plan goes as I am hoping, I am going to pre-order 4 or 5 games. Pay for the steelbooks and wait a few weeks and cancel the pre-orders.

I am thinking they won't ask for the steelbooks back, but rather the $5 I paid for the steelbook(s).

If that is the case, I will need at least about $15 to $16 dollars from anyone who wants one. That way it will cover the initial cost ($5), the return fee for cancelling the pre-order ($5) and shipping costs to you guys (about $5 to $6, maybe a bit more).

How does that sound?

Does anyone have any other good ides of getting just the steelbooks without actually having to pay for the game?

If worse comes to worse, I will take orders for people who want to pre-order the game and also get the steelbook. If that is the case I will need the money for the game + the $5 for the steelbook up front. Then when I have all the steelbooks ready to go I will ship them and then when I get the games when they are released I will mail them to whoever bought one as well.

I am willing to help all of you guys to the best that I can, and if anyone has any idea for me in getting the steelbooks please feel free to share.

I had thought about asking the clerk on shift at the time if he would just sell me the steelbooks for about $10 to $15 a piece if i buy about 10 to 20 of them hehehe.

I don't know how preorders work in states, but in the UK if you put a deposit down on a preorder, you don't have to buy the game when it comes out, so you're effectively just buying the steelbook from them! Just make sure you pay with cash then there's nothing they can do! Then you're effectively just buying them for $5 each. Just an idea! :-D you'll just lose the deposit...

Anyway, put me down for one, please? ^^

[themidlandmaster]

Could you put the deposit down and just necer pick up the game?

Only 5 bucks then?

Great to hear your willing to help us out

Maybe some other US members will also oblige?

As CosmicLink said, they can't do anything if you just don't turn up to collect the preorder, they just keep the $5 and sell the game to somebody else, they don't care

I'm very interested so if you need me to forward $5 over to you, let me know! xx

[nipperkipper]

I would also be interested in one please - i have steelbooks to trade or will pay

[J Rokk]

Ok guy, I am going to be going to the local Best Buy in about 7 or 8 hours from now.

I will do my best to get as many steelbooks as I am able to, depending on how many pre-orders they let me place. I can do the max and then let my wife do the max as well.

I will see what I can do and post the results later on today in this thread, so take a peek back here later on today. Let's keep our fingers crossed.

I have enough cash to get about 30 or 40 if they will let me, depending on how much I have to put down on the game itself, in that case I may only be able to get about 20 today until Monday.

Sorry to double post -

I should be able to cover all who want one, if all i have to do is put $5 down and get the steelbook.

Then all I will need is you guys to PayPal me the shipping costs to mail them to you.

I don't mind. As someone said, I would like to trade if anyone is willing. That way we could both add to our collections. I mainly like G1's tbh.

Can you put me down for 1 please.
