why did I pre order then?

why did I pre order the new copy of halo from walmart only to find out that it will not be here till a week from now(10 days after release)? I thought the benifit of pre-ordering meant that you got it opening day as well as got a $20 gift card so when I get an email 3 days after opening day saying it will be an entire week before it gets here, and if I buy it in the store I get the gift card, a sock hat and a poster? When I ordered it I got an email saying it would be here between tues-thurs, when it didn't come today I sent an email and was told it would be an entire week from now.

man I hate wallmart.

Man that does suck. Is the new Halo the kind of thing you have to line up for in the morning outside of the store or is there plenty of stock at other stores?

there are plenty, I actually went to the store and bought a copy so that I could return the unused copy when I finally get it. They had an entire encap full of the game, must have been 50-60 in there.

So... what the hell is wrong with Walmart? Why can't they fill a preorder if there are plenty of copies for everyone? That's insanely stupid.

so why do they pressure people so much to preorder stuff and then once they got you then make you wait they do the same thing at game stop. they make you think that if you dont preorder then youll never get the game like ever and then it will be the end of the world.

I just liked the idea of it comming to me on opening day. I had a couple of friends get screwed this time, not sure what happened.

Ah, Halo. I was wondering why all the geeks were lined up at the store at midnight the other day.

I am waiting for the new call of duty myself.

so I sent an email in to complain. It came back with some type of form responce to where I was sure that no person had rear or responded to it, but in the responce there was an 800 number for cust service. I called it and explained whats going on and the lady said all she could do was give a $10 gift card, well ok I guess.

So then I went to dinner, came home and found an email with the $10 gift cert issued, and then in another responce via email to my email complaint, they offered another $10. I am waiting now to see if that goes through as well, maybe it will not be that bad.

Keep complaining and see how many $10 cards you can rack up!

Stick it to Wal-Mart!!!
