^^^not a big deal though, u can always take delivery of the game, then return it the next day, they can't refuse that...

God
09-14-2006, 02:27 PM
i worked there its store policy that if you want to cancel a pre order you can. if for some reason any of them talk shit (i doubt they will) tell them Rory their regiional manager said you could. and ive done this shit tons of times when they do these type of promotions.
no one at eb/gs is paid enough to care anyway.


and the promotion isnt advertised it was only sent out to some people via a microsoft email

Yes it works... All the EB Games/Gamestops I called received 5 tickets per store. Maybe some bigger stores received more, but there hasn't been one that I called that didn't any at all. +1 to G.O.D.

Yeah you do have to pay the money up front... The guy asked me if i was just pre-ordering for the ticket then returning the game on Monday LOL!!! Luckily my boss already wanted to buy the game so I told him we could split the cost so I got a 2-day ticket for $30. +1 to God for the heads up :goodjob:

IndianStig
09-15-2006, 02:47 PM
What he said.

It is the game for around $63, full payment, you cannot cancel the order.

my receipt states " Unopened new items can be returned/exchanged w/in 30 days."
So if they say they can't cancel my order bump that.. i'll wait till i get the game in hand and return it... and yes it is a WEEKEND PASS.. it even says "$55" on the ticket...

09-15-2006, 03:17 PM
well worst comes to worst...if one cannot cancel the order...return the game once it arrives...granted you'll be out of 64.19 up until that point...but the game will still be in a wrapper and what not...so they can accept the return then...

i went ahead and pre-ordered the game....so yeah...
