Pre-ordering is one of the most stupidest things ever

[MenacingMonk]

Cashier : would you like to preorder ______?

Me:

They already have movies still in the theaters on preorder. Can they just call it future layaway?

 

[Ziggiy]

Depends on the item.

I'd NEVER pre-order a goddamn movie or anything like that but for something I want that might be in limited quantities it makes sense. Depends on how bad you want it

 

[MartyMcFly]

I'd pre order a video game system or maybe even a video game itself but no way am I pre-ordering a movie

 

[2 Up 2 Down]

Guaranteed low price and to assure you get a copy if it's a limited release

 

[Jax]

I pre-order on thepiratebay

 

[SteelCitySoldier]

I pre order video games all the time. Once it gets a release dat I go in with an initial 10.50 for the reserve and throw money on it whenever I might pass by the store. shyt makes it easy when you don't have to walk in and drop 65 every time. I wish you could do this with sneakers and shyt.

Provide interest free loans and free market research to giant corporations, brehs.

 

[Uncle_Ruckus]

The only way to do it.

If a limited quantity steelbook is coming out, if you don't preorder it, it sells out within an hour and the price goes waaaaaaaay up....I preorder all the time to make sure I get the exclusive blu ray steelbooks

Wouldn't you rather allow your own money to work for you? I'm not sure why giving these stores your money for longer periods of time is easier than just managing your money better.

pre-ordering was mainly a videogame thing for me

but now i've begun to pre-order movies.

when you get old and lazy you don't wanna go to the store on tuesday after work

you can just come home to an amazon delivery

on a side note.. i cancelled my best buy.com pre-order for guardians of the galaxy.

after the initial authorization hold dropped off, i got charged again the next day and they said i would be charged an authorization hold every week until it comes out

amazon and disney better squash that beef

You know what? You're right about the Amazon thing because I pre-ordered the Criterion version of Fantastic Mr Fox and Spectacular Spider-Man on blu ray and it was very dope coming home and seeing them waiting for me on my porch.

FUKK is that? They're going to charge you every day until it comes out? Nah I'm good with that

they're online policy states you should only see the authorization hold once and then not again til it ships. like amazon says.

but looking at their online community forum i saw tons of people are having the same issues.

i still havent' seen mr fox (or life aquatic)..seen all his others
