As the thread is called, how easy is it to Pre-Order games? I've never pre-ordered anything in my life (only 16) and I really want to pre-order the FFXIII-2 Crystal Edition so I can get all those awesome goodies and sountrack. For AUD$138.00 I can can it and I think that is really good value considering that most games in Australia are like 80-110 dollars at launch. Please help me. I need info. Sad

Dude just ask the person at the counter that you want to pre order FFXIII-2 Crystal Edition. They would then ask you to put in a deposit which might be just $10.

$140's a fairly decent price for what you're getting, preordering is as simple as Bingo said.

If you're looking to save a bit of money, imports from US/UK websites or Ebay tend to be a bit cheaper than Australian retail, if you don't mind the wait. Most of these require full upfront payments though.

As bingo said, just talk to the store clerk.

If you're buying online, you more than likely require a credit card which, at 16, you probably don't have, so you'll have to ask your parents. But it's generally the same deal, you put down the order, checkout and they don't charge you until it's shipped (although that changes depending on the site).

Amazon.com, Play-Asia.com, GameStop.com, I personally use BestBuy.com (well, BestBuy.ca since I'm in Canada), FutureShop.com. Hmmm, it would help to know what area you're in. Are you in North America? Or another country?

If you're in the UK I heavily recommend Shopto.net. They're amazing.
Ship out games before release, excellent customer service (They take a photo of your package before it's sent out), generally a bit cheaper than Amazon and MUCH cheaper than GAME, etc.

Ozgamershop, Zavvi or even GAME are good places to start to pre order stuff.
