No you shouldnt have to stand in line. Of course I advise you to ask your local GameStop's management about how they are planning to handle it. But from my experience with GameStop, both as a former manager and as a customer, the process I described should be pretty consistent.

Generally you put down a refundable deposit. Standard is $50, $25 for powerup members. You can either come for the midnight launch (you want to arrive early because they usually go ahead and start ringing people up so at midnight everyone just leaves with their console) or you can come over the...

So I just begrudgingly put down my preorder at my local GameStop. I was holding out on Amazon but now its become apparent they dont plan to carry it for preorder. You can put down just $25 if you're a powerup member. I only keep my sub active for the Game Informer because I very rarely shop...

Always happy to share a war story :D

This was back in the day. We had paper tickets in a box that represented each and every preorder for all titles. We would mark the tickets to indicate order, but there was nothing official about that process. Its just what we did because it was easier. These days they forgo the paper and its...

Holy GOD! I dont own a Vita nor have I had much interest in one, but this $55 for 32GB is considered a DEAL??

I will NEVER forget the Xbox 360 Launch. I was the Store Manager of Gamestop 1595 in Trussville, AL -- a few miles outside Birmingham. We were the busiest store in the region. We took something to the effect of 120 pre-orders before GameStop told us to stop taking them. We were told repeatedly...

Just wanted to pop in and say THANK YOU to the OP and anyone else who contributed to this. Glad to know I'm not the only CAG user who rocks a Windows Phone. Now I just need to get around to dropping Sprint on their ass so I can get a decent one. Dont get me wrong : The HTC Arrive is a fine...

Yeah it makes me feel just a little bit better for cancelling the order. I had called to cancel because I was a little ticked about the charge, but while I had the supervisor on the phone I asked him about the coupons so a little releived I guess. Worse comes to worse if I miss some of these...

I'm not really so sure about the Wii U. I mean it looks compelling, but honestly there are SOOOO many Xbox games I need to play and I can barely keep up with the releases this holiday as it is. The obvious better deal here is the Deluxe Set, but I cant conjure up how they think 32GB is enough...

A couple of things you guys should know about this deal: 1) The $10/$25 "Coupon" is NOT a gift card. In other words, it gives you a maximum $10 discount (or $25 for Halo 4) on your next order. You can not combine these to get, say, a free game, or any other thing of that nature. I had actually...
