So I thought that when I bought the pre-order 2 months ago that I was not only reserving my characters name along with all that other good stuff, but that I was also taking a small amount of money off the full version price. But I just called and well, not only are they out of the full version but apparently I was supposed to put down some sort of deposit to get any money off. What a load.

But this is what has me confused, I thought buying the pre order for $11 was well, a pre-order. Giving all pre-orderers a jump start on everyone else. But apparenly not.

You got ripped off. The pre-order should have been free. I got mine from EB games and was charged a penny for it. I also made a $10 deposit and that 10 bucks was taken off the price off the full version. If you paid $11 for the pre-order then $11 should have been deducted from the release version price.

Then maybe it was considered a deposit. I didn't know it was making a deposit though. Either way I'm taking the box and receit with me when they have more full versions in and I will make a stink if I have too. Actually I'm looking forward to it

Mine was from EBgames, but they charged 5 for the prerelease, and deducted it when I went to buy the game.

Bring your Preorder and your reciept to FS. Demand a deduction of whatever you already paid for on the pre-order. If they do not, ask for a manager.. Don't lose your cool though, things might get touchy if you do. After a minute, or an hour of negotiations... You should have your full retail at a set price with the deduction of your preorder (They might make you give them back the preorder box, but try harder!)
