cod sucks...get skyrimWell this game looks amazing but I am not sure if I should pre-order this game or wait for the next CoD. Most recent CoD i have is MW2. Maybe I can save for both. =)

[QUOTE="chaoscougar1"][QUOTE="Xbox360Gamer15"] pre-ordering saves moneyXbox360Gamer15actually, it (in theory) costs you money. Most pre-orders require a down payment (usually $10). Due to various economic factors (mainly inflation) that $10 is more valuable on the day you spent it, then in the future. So really, you lose money by pre-ordering i didnt pay a down paymentThen how did you pre-order? They require you to put at least $5 upfront. You didn't save $10 on Test Drive Unlimited 2 because it is $49.99 not $59.99, regardless of if you pre-ordered or not. I'm still pre-ordering Skyrim whether or not it saves you money. I want it on my doorstep the day it comes out.

i did to save something
game is $60
you paid 5 upfront
when you returned you paid 55
so you gain nor lose...
now i don't understand why pre order then lol. i can go with amazon and get 20 dollar gift cards lol now thats how you save.
lol idk what world you live in but all open worlds have bugs... that's just hard fact. but oblivion is beths big title so sure they will do little more testing then normal.I'm not gonna pre-order, i'll wait a few days, read some forum posts, make sure it's bug/glitch free (priority), then decide.

i know i saved 5 dollarsXbox360Gamer15Could you explain how? you said you paid 54 for TDU2 including tax? The game is 49.99 regular price.
[QUOTE="Xbox360Gamer15"]i know i saved 5 dollarsAutoPilotOnCould you explain how? you said you paid 54 for TDU2 including tax? The game is 49.99 regular price. oh....i didnt know that....most games are 59.99 dollars
uh...paying $5 earlier does not mean you saved it. It means you paid it earlier...
Anyways, preordering skyrim for sure.

Yo Chaos I see you in tons of this kids threads, and I honestly think he is just trolling. I don't see how anyone could be this stupid and oblivious about things. It's still funny reading your comments and what not, but what do you think? Is he for real? Or just messin with all of us haha.
been trying to figure that out for months; some comments swing me one way and then another comment takes me all the way back, i really have no conclusive idea hahaYo Chaos I see you in tons of this kids threads, and I honestly think he is just trolling.

Yeah definitely a troll, 100s of post later finally recognizes TDU2 is $49.99 and then still say he saved $5Agent-Zeroim not a troll
What do I get if I pre order it?tommysollenI dont know....at gamestop it might be exclusive quests or extra swords or maybe a special map....well the limited edition comes with the map...but the regular will probly come with extra quests or swords

Yay, I am in someones sig *time for a happy dance* I have to agree this thread is just fantastic. I actually ignored this thread until now because I didn't want to deal with the inevitable follow up questions for how he saved money (which others asked). But I am very happy I did... this thread just brightened my day.This entire thread made me lol.

There you go, man. Before you go on trying to berate another poster for their grammatical errors, you might want to actually learn how use grammar yourself. ;)

[QUOTE="Victors_Valiant"]I will probably end of pre-ordering it. I haven't pre-ordered a game in a long time, but this one is an exception. I would like for the economics to be a little more important and riding dragons would be cool. I would just like it to be amazing.Xbox360Gamer15pre-ordering saves money Pre ordering doesn't save you money on the game, the $5 goes to the purchase of the game which will leave you to pay for the unpaid balance.
