How should I preorder Star Wars

[GeneD5]

Hey Gang...literally a HUGE noob to gaming, I haven't owned a system since Nintendo 64. Don't play much, pretty much watch blus, but I am going to have to purchase the star wars force unleased game (I think it is out in September). How should I preorder it so that I know I can get it on release day? Is going into a game stop the best way?

I don't see the need to pre-order it unless there is an exclusive unlockable for doing so. So in answer to your question I don't think so.

A lot of people pre-order - but I wouldn't bother. Look at all the folks who pre-ordered MGS4 - release day came and many were left still waiting for their game to come in the mail - Walmart had plenty.

As for gamestop, etc. - unless there is some cool incentive, a Walmart or Target are just fine. Unfortunately, no one really has sales on these things, they are all $60 - or on sale for $59.93!

but sometimes u get a gift card for buying the game durin release (liek at target alot of times) so i would just keep your eyes peeled for the deals.

But the game companies know this too and will make enough.

The one that really sticks in my mind is when the WoW expansion came out. With the number of people who play that game I figured I had to pre-order and did. Day of release I walked into BB and there was a table full of them. Last time I have ever pre-ordered. If a game as big as WoW can put out an expansion and there will be plenty of copies on release day then most anybody can.
