Generally when they reserve a game its for 2 or 3 days after the release date. They can't hold it forever and if someone else wants to but it they will sell it after 3 days. Since the monster hunter tri bundle hasn't come out yet im guessing you plan on pre-ordering it. Which means that if you dont pick your copy up by 4/23 they may sell it to someone else but the money you put down still counts and can still use it but i may have to wait for them to re-order. It is possible for you to schedule the exact day you want to pick it up and they will order a copy for you a week before you plan to pick it up and hold it for you but not every gamestop is nice(competent) enough to do that. You have to talk to them about it.

I wonder what happens to your deposit if you never pick up the game.

You can transfer it to another sale or pre order. Thats how it was for me anyway. I don't think they wil lgive you cash back, though.

They'll give cash back just so long as you have a receipt stating you paid in cash for the reserve.
