So don't buy it if that happens, and report it to the Better Business Bureau and Gamestop corporate. The only ones that should happen to is the "Gut" copies used to display the box on the floor.
If they only have those copies, and you preordered, take your money elsewhere as well. How is this really an issue?

So you think the game could be good and you want it to succeed, but you aren't purchasing it because of past experiences that have no bearing on this title. There's some logic.

Justification. People also have this thing where they like to freak out no matter what. That whole internet thing.

Its not the publishers. Gamestop, best buy, etc give them money to make things exclusive or put that sticker on the box. It is simply business. If your local store had the money they would do it too, since it would get people to buy from them over the major corporations, and offset the nonexistent profit margins on…

Independently owned video game stores that sell brand new games are nearly extinct because games cost them $50-$55 each, and they can't afford to charge more than MSRP (for a $59.99 game) Gamestop couldn't even survive on that alone. Hence why mom & pop shops as well as Gamestop exist; Used Games.

While I support…

Not a photo of my collection but I have these plushies on display in my house to this day.

Gasp a reasonably-toned post. How dare you have a differing opinion and discuss it in a fair manner!

The thing is enough people enjoy or at least utilize the pre-order system to make it worthwhile for companies to invest time and effort in the concept. Why begrudge them? If things go too far as this article seems to…

There was no information on anti depressants or vaccinations in your CNN article you linked.

I am assuming you are just reading the headlines of the articles you are linking and not actually reading them. These sites you are linking are plainly saying the studies are not conclusive.

So are you saying you saved.....

I don't think it is possible to have a worse batman than Kilmer.

Clooney was great for camp value, and Keaton remains a great Batman and a good everyman bruce wayne (if every man was a playboy billionaire).

Affleck could be good for the later life Batman he is apparently portraying, so I'll give it a shot.

AW GEE, SO YOU KNOW, IM THE BATMAN! WHO WRITES THIS STUFF?

These flip mode ones are a godsend for me as a parent. My 6 year old son is autistic and cannot grasp the steps necessary for the last batch of transformers (dark of the moon I think?) which would break as he attempted to transform them himself, causing meltdown hell.

Yeah that's kinda my thoughts. Aside from a few like Black Nerd Comedy and some musicians I just don't see the massive appeal of things like Let's play or the Francis Character, or Angry Video Game Nerd.

Hope: "We were never going to put a pulse rifle in this game."
