Titanfall looked amazing in the trailers, but when they had exclusive early access, my friend got his hands on it and I played and it was AMAZING!!!
So I preordered it for the 360, but picking it up wasn't easy:
The First vist:
Me: Hello, I have a preordered Titanfall copy I'm here to pick up
Clerk: For what system?
Me: Xbox 360
Clerk: I'm not sure if you know this but Titanfall was delayed a couple of weeks. We're sorry. We'll contact you when it's ready
Couple weeks later:
Phone call:
GameStop: don't forget to pick up Titanfall next week!
The second vist (one week later):
Me: Hey, I'm here to pick up Titanfall, I have a preordered it
Clerk: I'm sorry, but Titanfall has been delayed, it's not out yet
Me: Um... That's what you guys said 3 weeks a go when I came....
Clerk: it's been delayed again. We can give you your preorder bonus now if you want
Me: Okay.... [see the picture above for the poster]
The third vist (2 days after the games been released):
Me: I'm here to pick up Titanfall
Clerk: I'm sorry, I'm not sure if we have any copies left
Me: But I preordered it
Clerk: If you don't come the day or the day after t released,me just sell the preordered copies. We usually call to let you know when to pick it up
Me: But we didn't get a call, only the first time it was delayed we did
Clerk: you can check the shelves if you want
There was one copy left.... I got lucky
