WAR (Warhammer Online)

I bought the pre order box there and i got codes right. Well i cant reserve the game. well while the released ill be in math class in school so i either need my dad to run up to targtet in the moring and get it. Cause i paid 1$ for codes and save 5$ on the game. But if i just pre oreder from best buy i can cancell  if my dad gets a copy at target or i can just get ammazon prime 1 day shipping for o$ and recieve it after school

How does this save money?  Target and Best Buy and Amazon charge the same price for the game essentially.    Target doesn't gaurentee you a copy while Best Buy & Amazon do.   Amazon charges shipping while the other two don't (unless they have some deal up for the SE only because I paid shipping for mine). 

I can't believe you paid a dollar for the codes when they codes are a FREE promotional item.

My method:

gamestop i bought 2 standard and the guy messed up and gave me the code slips

came back a week later and changed them to ce and got 2 more ... way i have 4 ce preorder codes i rule

Heres my method

1. I work at gamestop

2. i preorder all the codes in our store

3. i sell the CE on ebay for 300 dollars

4. I win

This is why I don't shop at Gamestop..that and complete idiocy on the part of half the sales staff this days.  Its like they don't hire kids who know anything about games anymore..just random X person who might enjoy Madden.  Its such a sad state of affairs...I'll keep my major game buying to the net unless I'm desperate to have a game right away.
 

EVERYONE in my store knew about almost every game on the floor.  Gamestop hires kids in highschool/college for sales rep who need a part time job at minimum wage.  Personally, i did wait two days after the CE release for preorder for people to preorder.  we had 1.  NOONE else came in and asked.  At my store, people didnt really preorder games because where i live we have 16 in the city and i worked in the mall.  EVERYONE has a store closer to them that will prolly be open on midnight.  Garaunteed, noone was gonna pre-order those lol.

Um..do the math. $1.00 for the box with the codes. $5.00 coupon for the game. So, let's see, um, hmm, $5.00 minus $1.00 is, hmm, it's coming to me, let's see, OK, yeah, $4.00. You'd save $4.00. Whew that was a tough one.

'scuse the ignorance.  But can I go into Target plop down a buck and grab the open beta AND headstart codes, with no other money down?  Finding the retail version later on my own?

Or are store bought codes hard to come by now?

Yes to the first part. Not sure if they are hard to come by or not right now. I got mine last Friday.
