[quote name='Linkgx1']Does Amazon take the money out while it says shipping soon?
Also, I preordered at Gamestop back in May....but I'm not picking it up. Will I still be able to use the code on the receipt? Just wondering (tried looking back a few threads).[/QUOTE]
They charge when it SHIPS/is SHIPPED. If it's shipping soon then it hasn't shipped has it? But that's just my logic at work, not to be a dick but if you're that hard up for cash maybe you shouldn't spend what you have on video games.
You can return your game to GS after you use the code, they might try and give you a hard time but they should take it back, if not try at another store or try on another day, but they should take it.
[quote name='sixspeednissan']What typically goes on at a Best Buy midnight release? Is it like Gamestop where they heard you like cattle into a long ass line, or do they actually do stuff? I kind of want to wait until tomorrow, but I don't want to miss out on my Baird code in case they run out.[/QUOTE]
Supposedly yes but it depends, some stores do stuff and have events or whatever other stores don't and you just wait in line, or so I've been told.
The Baird code is supposed to be emailed to you, they won't run out......
