Pre-Order at Gamestop?

I do understand the concept of pre-orders especially at gamestop but could you just pre-order it without putting money down towards it? I know you have put something down on it but can you not?

    nope. You have to put in at least ten bucks.

    They want to make sure you will pay.

    The whole concept of a pre-order game is to reserve your copy on the day the game released. Retail outlets like Best Buy and Game Stop charge money down to ensure that you buy the game from them , figuring that they lock you into the sale with the money down.

    You must pay some kind of money to pre order. I think it costs around 5$. at gamestop.

    Well first if you pre-order games you can get swag for your game. You only need to put 5$ for things that are 100$ up you have to pay alot more.

    ummm no you got too.I know chances you know but here it is.Its $5 for regular copys $10 for limited editions(some ony $5) And $50 for systems of any kind if there coming out soon like Gears of war system,star wars system(gay lol),and new psp.The only real reason to pre order is if its a special edition or systems or if it has something cool as a bonus for pre-ordering like free dlc ect.

    No, you cannot ask them to put any merchandise on reserve without putting money down on it, whether it be debit, credit, store credit, or cash. Just needs to real money.

    Usually, the smallest amount you can put down is $5.

    not quite sure but you can put down as little as a dollar. they just need collateral in case you don't end up going back and paying for the rest of it
