[quote name='Ravingraven']Well that's where you're wrong. How can you assume he'll claim his next purchase cost him 40 dollars, instead of 50? ;/
Anyone here have experience with buying preorders from buy.com? Being that it's a preorder, would picking the free shipping option make the game ship faster than if I were to order any other game after the release date?[/QUOTE]
I would get it from Walmart or Amazon. You're basically saving $3 or so with Buy.com and like Smiley said, buy.com absolutely blows. Yeah, you might get it really quickly but it's hit or miss with them. I've gotten things 2 weeks later due to processing. (electronics not a game) I avoid them whenever I can.
I've never used walmart ship to home but Amazon is always super fast for me. YMMV. (I also consider walmart gcs good as cash since you can buy food with them. And if you don't have $20 worth of food to buy... time to move out of mom's basement.)
