RaNK HeLP OnLY Group - Good times with good people!

I went to Game Stop today and paid $5, just as a did for Gears of War 2. Is this $5 deposit considered a pre-order or just a down-payment so that Game Stop will hold a game for me?

Or does a pre-order mean you need to go online to a place like Game Stop and order it that way?

I'm just curious, since I don't know if I lost my chance to be able to unlock Johnson in Firefight.

Thanks for any help....and happy gaming everyone (if that still even exists in the Halo 3 community!)

Werd, I guess I did. My bad man.....this is my first time in the ODST forum (mostly post in the H3 forum) and I guess its become kinda hard to determine when someone is trying to help or just be a jackass.

Thanks again for your help guys....and sorry again DreadSK....i hope we can still be friends :D

Question. Did they give you the card with the code for Johnson or do you have to pick that up with the game?

  • 08.01.2009 5:22 PM PDT

The guy at the gamestop near me said they haven't gotten the cards in yet and wasn't sure if they were coming in before the release or on the same day. He also said that they will probably have extra and will be giving them out to everyone regardless of if they preorder. I think this is crap you shouldn't say something is a preorder bonus then just go giving it to everyone.

agreed. That he definitely should not have said.

  • 08.01.2009 5:40 PM PDT

Also the Gamestop website says you will receive the card when you pick up the game not when you preorder
"Online / In-Store Pickup Customers: Code and activation instructions will be emailed to you when the game ships.

Store Customers: A rave card containing a code and download instructions will be available at time of game pick-up."
