[quote name='hairypeckpeck']as much as i love amazon, if i can find the item i want at a retail store, then i'll get it from them.
also, fry's new policy of price matching amazon kind of makes me more inclined to buy from them.[/QUOTE]
Except their preorder system was devised by idioits. Anyone who preordered the ULC knows what I mean.
30 days before release they sent out emails " because your item has not been stocked since your order and continues to be backordered, your item will be cancelled if youbdo not call"
Once you call, they tell you its backordered. You explain its.not release day yet. They say the item isn't available and they don't know when.stock will arrive. You explain what a preorder is. Their order confirmation system then is a 3 step 2 person process. Because the person who starts the process has no access to keeping your order. The first person can only cancel I guess. They finish the call saying that you will keep your backorder. If they fever stock the.item again it will be shipped.
A few days before release you get an.email saying they sold more than they got, so your order is cancelled. A few days later they put the item for sale on their website. Cancelled preorders are not given notice that the cancellation was a mistake, nor asked if they want a leftover
