Now, be constructive about it and hopefully someone will know where to pick one up. I understand that someone in Vegas got one at Target last night.

This current conversation will not get you the game any faster.
True. It won't get the game to people faster.

But it is constructive (IMHO) because consumers whould be aware of the policies and procedures that various companies engage in. In this case, EB has had my money for a couple of months and has been earning interest or something with it. In return for a Pre-order I received exactly what in return? I am not, apparently, even in the system. This is a questionable business practice, at best.

The only way we have to even try to put corrective pressure on companies is to identify bad practices and then communicate them and encourage others to act.

That is all.
