I pre ordered and paid Persona 3 in full at my gamestop, right? Well, as you know, it got delayed. Now I'm off for college in another state next week, and I was worried about not getting the game I paid in full. I always pre order SMT titles, and I have since DDS, and I always make sure to reserve Atlus games, so I know that my chances of getting the game are slim without pre ordering. But it's pretty hard to pre order if you aren't there to make the transaction, and Florida is kinda...uh..you know, far away.
So I asked my gamestop manager if it was possible for him to transfer my pre order from that store to another store. He said that was impossible (lame) and that I would have to cancel and pre order it at the other shop, as expected. He did, however, say that he would be obliged to finish off my game's transaction (since I paid in full and all) and ship it to me via overnight shipping once it got into the store; a sort of treat for being such a good customer and pal. So I said sure.
He calls me today and says he found out he is unable to do this (something about against company policy) and that he suggest I cancel my pre order and try to get the game at the gamestop where I'm moving.
I'm leaving on the 14th via car and I probably won't be there until late on the 15th or the 16th at most. Who knows? What I'm worried about though, is that I won't be able to score my game on day one. This wouldn't be an issue if gamestop would be give my money back for the reserve, but they will only give credit back if you've paid for something, so the only place I can use the credit at is a gamestop or eb.
It kinda makes no sense to pay twice for a game. So what to do? Order online and pay the same game twice or just cross my fingers and hope that gamestop has the game when I get there?
