I really don't see why it would matter that much. Just go pre-order it if you're going to get it on the first day. Also just pre-order it on a day that you want to get somthing else from there.

It costs extra money? The money you put down goes towards the purchase unless they are charging money for the code.

It doesn't cost anything to preorder a game, the 5 dollar minumum is paid toward the 60.

It's a preorder incentive to buy it in full instead of Used since companies don't like that buying games Used crapola.

Sgt johnson is an awesome character, if youre a fan of halo then why not? Personally i have no problems going with ODSTs only but with johnson theres always a good mix.

Well I think the game is worth preordering for the ten dollars off and free launch day delivery

The extra character is a bonus

I think it is. It's not like you actually lose anything for pre-ordering. If you intend to buy the game I don't see why it's such a hard choice to make.

He thinks it's a cheat code. It's not. Like you said it's a download code. If you don't pre-order you aren't going to get Sergeant Johnson.

Yes it does, it ends up costing 65 dollars because they charge you to hold onto it. If not why do you think gamestop would try so hard to get ppl to preorder from them by paying game developers to add a reward for preorders

No, the five dollars is not additional. I've pre-ordered plenty of times, I know it's not. It's just their way of trying guarantee that customers will come back. And they urge you to do it because that how employees are evaluated at how successful they are. My friend used to work there, so I know.

Isn't this a GameStop only pre-order bonus? And I think it was Sgt. Johnson for multiplayer?

Yes, they only charge the 5 dollars to guarantee that you're getting the game from them. It allows them to do better inventory when they order copies of the game or when corporate sends copies to the stores. This way they don't send 50 copies to the store and only 5 people come to buy it. If they have 5 preorders, they will send probably 7 or 8 copies to ensure they have extra, but not much more. It's all just business. I used to work at a game retailer

I'll preorder, mostly for the convenience of having it delivered to my door ASAP. Don't care much about who I'll be playing as in firefight. I generally don't care how my character looks in a shooter; I just want to play.

I don't understand why everyone isn't taking that deal

I'd pre-order it, but since they bumped up the price I'm holding off. It might surprise us all and just be too short to justify a purchase.

It'd be pretty neat, definately fan-service. I wouldn't pre-order for it tho, so maybe they will make it into DLC later on.

Why do people think the preordering costs money? It just goes to the price of the game. If you are going to get the game when it comes out you might as well preorder to get the code, or at Amazon to get money off. I don't know if I will be getting the game so I haven't preordered it.

Get it from buy.com. 50 dollars with free shipping, and you still get sergeant johnson. I'll never understand how people still pay 65 dollars for games at release. All it takes is a little internet searching and you will always find a newly released game for at least 10-15 bucks off. I have literally saved hundreds over the past year by shopping online and finding deals online. Just a helpful tip, don't mean to sound harsh, just want more people to be aware of how easy it is to save on games
