Pre-ordering online - Sep 22, 2008 05:34
My question is simple: does anyone know what (if any) sites will get a game to you on the day of release if you pre-order it? Gamestop doesnt have the game I want (Fable 2 Limited Edition), but Best Buy says even with express shipping I wont get the game until the 23rd. Suggestions?

I always use EB and get the game on release date or even a few days before.

Amazon is pretty good with their pre-orders.  The only problem is that it's pretty late in the game, right now.  If you pre-order early enough you usually get it the same day, however, I've pre-ordered stuff close to the release date and then had to wait a week after it was released before they even shipped it out!

Yeha Amazon just implented a new program that guarentees it for big name games. I been ordering stuff from that site more and more these days. My brother has an Amazon Prime account so I can get free 2 day shipping or 2.99 overnight shipping.

Yeah, that Amazon Prime is totally worth it.  Especially if you go in with friends who order off of Amazon a lot as well.  I split the cost with two of my friends, and we order WAAAY to much stuff from there!  Since my one friend moved in to the same house we have a package on the doorstep almost every day!

Oh, and as far as that street date delivery from Amazon, it's kinda weird.  I pre-ordered the Fable 2: Limited Edition for $66.99, but it's just regular shipping.  So, basically, I can just get it at that price, but later, or I can change it to street date delivery and pay $79.99.

Yeah, I think I'll just wait.

Yup Amazon is the way to go.

Yeah, sometimes I even get games before the release date when I pre-order it from Amazon (such as Rock Band).
