A Nervous Thought

  • Posted by AtticusFinch November 8, 2011 - 510 views

    I was wondering about something. I pre-ordered Skyrim from GameStop a while ago. I know that they have it in their system so that's not worrying me. However, one thought got in my head that didn't make me panic but, it made me nervous. How can I know if I will get Skyrim on Friday? Does pre-ordering mean you will get it opening day? If you guys know the answer that would be wonderful to hear. Also as a disclaimer I have never pre-ordered a game before, so this may just be foolish jitters I am having.

    Like multiple people have already said, you do not have anything to worry about. Pre-orders are reservations to make sure you get it on launch day, or the day after if you cant make it.They hold it for you.

    I've pre-ordered several times from gamestop and they always have my copy on release day. If you are nervous about it, go and pick it up at the midnight release or when the store opens. I can tell you though, if you're a customer that the guys recognize (...  more

    The point of pre-order for me is convenience and cost savings.  The convenience is that I am almost an hour's drive from the nearest retailer that carries console games, so why not simply have the game dropped at my door?  The cost savings is that shippin...  more

    If you've ordered online, to guarantee getting it on release day you'll need to pay for first class postage. Otherwise, it'll be posted either like, the day before or on release day itself - and you could get it up to three days late!
