Here's a heads up.
Amazon has a pre-order going where you'll get $15 in promotional credit. I think I might do this instead of Best Buy now. It pretty much has the same pre-order bonus with the EASHL items. Except that it's Bauer and Best Buy has the Reebok brand.
if you pre-order from amazon, do you have to wait a day or two for shipping?
Nope, that's only Toys R Us.Quote:

The few times I have ordered from Amazon, the release date shipping only adds 99 cents to the shipping fees. But that's because I ordered it kind of last minute... not sure if they charge the extra dollar if you do it now. (I should go do it later today)
they are tacking on $7.XX for the 2 day release date shipping. I'll just go get it from Best Buy down the street I think.
You're right. That's bizarre. That was not there before... Anyone else know why they're charging that much for release date shipping? Did they get greedy or something? It definitely wasn't like that before.Quote:

So I guess in other words... wait until it gets closer to the release date and that option should come up.Quote:

Have $62 in credit coming to me from selling back NHL 12, UFC 3 (never buying anything that is published by THQ again) and Dirt. Hopefully the release date option becomes available, otherwise its Target for me on release day.
