[QUOTE="Nifty_Shark"]I don't even know why people are so offended by a person offering a preorder or a game guide. I mean to say no 2 times is such a god damn hassle it makes me want to throw a rampage right? The point is that people love to complain and have a hundred other people nod with them. Kind of like those boring people creating conspiracy theories.strayzilla

Well it's not just "offering" a ton of time either. It's almost insisting. And I'm sure tons of people get bullied into stuff like that.

Generally, when I go into the store here to buy a game the conversation will go like this 90% of the time.

Me: Ok I'll just take this.

Clerk: Would you like the used version for 5 bucks less?

Me: No, thanks

Clerk: Why? it's a good deal.

Me: Because I'd rather not pay 5 bucks less for a scratched disc with ripped manual.

Clerk: Yeah but if you buy a lot of games it pays off at the end of the year. Its like getting a free game for every 10 you buy.

Me: Well, I'd rather have 10 new games than 11 used scratched games for the same price.

Clerk: Ok.Would you like a card for discounts on used games?

Me: No.

Clerk: Why? The card pays for itself.

Me: I told you, I don't buy used games.

Clerk: Would you like to pre order Madden?

Me: No

Clerk: Well you might not get one later

Me: I'm pretty sure Madden isn't gonna be shipped short.

Clerk: Would you like a pre order for any of these other games?

Me: No, I'm good.

Clerk: But you might not get a game on release day.

Me: I don't care if I have it in my hand on Day 1.

Clerk : Do you have any used games to trade in?

Me: No. (standing there empty handed.. seems obvious I know)

Clerk : You should bring in some old games.

Me : No thanks. I have a collection, and try not to buy crappy games anymore, so don't have any I want to sell.

Clerk : would you like to get a strategy guide?

Me: No.

CLerk: Ok the game is hard and we've been selling a lot of these guides...

Me: Ummm how do you stay in business selling guides with sites like gamefaqs that offer guides for free....
