I would consider it if they give you some freebees for preordering. But otherwise, no.

Man, oh man. Where ever you pre-ordered must really love you. Pre-orders are a crock, since every store always has plenty of stock on the day of release, plus cheaper. The only pre-order i'm gonna be doing will be Halo 3, tin box edition one. And maybe Half Life (for the 360)

You get yourself to a game retailer. You're in Queens in America? I wouldn't know how it works there. Quite often shops will advertise that they take preorders. I know EB Games take preorders. You just have to ask. More likely a tailored videogame shop will do it as apposed to department stores (which sometimes allow preorders).

just ask at the counter to preorder. you need ten percent usally . also the reason i preorder all the games now is cause you can cancel them and get all the money back at anytime.

so i go up to the clerk, ask to pre-order brawl, give a 10% down payment and come back december 3rd and pick up the game? thats it? i thought you'd have to give your name, address, phone number, and pretty much everything except your shoe size before they reserved you a copy...

sometimes, it depends on the shop. But ask first if you are going to other places apart from EB Games, as I don't know others in America that will take pre-orders.

Gamestop owns Electronics Boutique. So yes, it will be the same.
