Preorders at EB & Gamestop update
Hooray! Good news!
From GoNintendo:
“…
Here’s the deal with the “trade $50 worth of stuff for a pre-order deposit” rumor. This rumor is true…however there is a catch. As of right now, Gamestop is doing a test run of this “offer” in the state of Hawaii and the island of Guam ONLY. All the details you posted last night are correct, but as of right now, this is only going to take place in the aforementioned regions (Hawaii & Guam).
I called several local Gamestops today (I live in the midwestern USA) and they still have no idea when they will be taking pre-orders.
I called two stores in Hawaii:
The first call was to Gamestop #1334 in Kahului (one of the outer islands) at (808) 877-8097 and he confirmed this program was indeed true.
The second call was to Software Etc. #1366 (which is owned by Gamestop) in Honolulu at (808) 947-1164. He gave me the entire set of details (mentioned above) and said that he had received numerous complaints about the programs since it was announced yesterday. He said they expect a large crowd on Monday when the “trade your entire game collection for a Wii/PS3 pre-order” program begins. He also said that they may run another pre-order program in Hawaii & Guam at a later date that would be the “normal” style of programs (i.e. your cash will be accepted) but that is dependant on how successful this program is.”
