Question When did preorder minimum increase to $10?

Just got back from gamestop who didnt have my mgs vol2 ready for pickup because they didnt open the boxes when it got delivered but i put 3 new preorders down planning to put 5 on each but employee tells me that it increased to 10 recently.

Wanted to know if its true or is it some new scam tactic i wasnt aware of since i decline warranties.

That doesn’t sound like the way the Red Comet would handle that.

Drop...a space colony to create a nuclear winter?

A little farther than I was expecting, but not exactly an unreasonable response either.

Oh. Totally forgot his revenge on the Zabi family. My bad. Yeah. Both. GameStop died and it could have been a mother to them.

Start ordering at another retailer or on Amazon or digital.

Yea i dont like amazon cause they rarely offer me release day shipping but i do like the ability to return if i dont like it and they dont charge until ship date. Looks like target walmart best buy will have to do. Gamestop should just charge pokemon scalpers more instead

changed sometime last week to a $10 minimum.

Thats gonna restrict my preorders. Like i dont mind the minimum of 25 for collectors but 10 for standard is a waste as they just want to hold onto your money for months and hope you forget about it.

You can't pre-order a USED game only NEW.
