Yes, a dumb thing how i dont know about this pre-ordering thing....but i never done it before

So i was looking at the site ( Canadian)
http://www.bestbuy.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?sku_id=0926INGFS 10125648&logon=&langid=EN

And i see a ton of posts how its $60 but on the site there its $70 does this mean thats the pre-ording cost or just the original price of the game even if it does come out after september,22,2009

$60
10 = $70 = preorder?

$70 = always?

Ugh...

First on a BWU.. yeah, I'm cool.

ODST;MYTHIC Screenshot winner! One of the first to get their hands on the mythic map pack.

Go to a gamestop a week or 2 weeks or 3 weeks or a month before the game comes out. Go to the counter, say "Can I pre-order Halo 3: ODST?".

They say : Sure, how much would you like to dowpay?
You : *give as much or little as you want*

Just make sure that they are the selected retailers that are giving away SGt. Johnson Token.

Its seems like you pay 10$ for the pre order, then best buy says "we'll give you 10$ off the 70$ price tag" best buy is a rip off anyways, never go there for electronics.

Aren't there EB Games in Canada? If so, that's the same as Gamestop in the US. You can put a minimum of $5 down on a pre-order, and continue adding money until you pay off the game.

If you don't know who I am, the feeling is mutual.

In Canada, game developers hate us and charge us more money for games.

And yes, Canada has EB Games. (Also, I have seen a Gamestop too, but it sucked and the staff was creepy.)

I remember that I pre-orded Call of Duty 3 there, and they didn't have it (one of the most anticipated games of the year) until the next week. When I finally picked it up, they tried to make me pay extra for the special edition. Then, when I told them no and took my copy, I waited 25 minutes in line because the woman in front of me got in a big conversation with the cashier about her hair! Then, when I asked to see her supervisor, I learned that she was the manager of the entire store!

In USD, most games are $59.99 - in CDN, most games are $69.99 I, too, have to pay $70 for nearly every game I buy (I live in Ontario). lol, have you never bought a game before?
