Video Game pre-orders

[katie333]

Someone else here helpfully posted that SDM was taking pre-orders for big release Video Games. We did bonus redemption and used part of the allowance to pre-order GTA which we picked up this week. I'd like to get more pre-orders done in another redemption but now I can't find the links on the SDM website. Can anyone help? I did a search and was not able to find it.

Wouldn't this be done at store level? They would probably have forms for you, no?

Yep, their facebook page is where I got my pre-order forms from!

Thanks so much! I originally found it on their site and had zero luck looking a second time.

Once the game is out can you still pre-order? Before the game is released, DH doesn't want it. After it is sold out everywhere, he wants it. Sigh

last year they had lots of deals for bonus points when you bought a new game. I managed to rake in lots of points this way. A few of the games I bought also landed on bonus points days or days where you got 10$ off so it worked out awesome. They started offering these in November.

No, once it is released, you just have to go in store and get one. I am lucky, because my location is usually well stocked for all items that are carried. I bought dh the Call of Duty game that came out last year on one of the 20x the points days, and got him a controller for the PS3 on that day, and it was on sale, $15 less than the usual price. SDM sells video game stuff at same prices as other stores.

Yes their pricing is good I've got tons of great video game deals with them but have never pre-ordered. DH and his "I don't want this" "Now I do" 30 seconds later mentality is going to make me lose my mind

Went to two SDMs at lunch and they didn't have the game. I doubt anyone will, but I'll make him go around to check lol

How rude of him! My DH is pretty organized in what he wants so pre-ordering is nice to coordinate with a bonus points offer. The pre-order forms have a defined 'last date' to pre-order which is about 1 week before the game is due to be released.

The nice thing about pre-ordering is that it guarantees a game for you, and you have about 2 weeks to pick it up. After that (the date is on the form), the game gets donated to a children's charity!

Oh my gosh I never knew you could do this!!! Such a smart idea. Its too bad the shopping I've been doing at SDM this year is 90% redemption's because now I've run out of points! I've only got 24K left

Was planning on buying COD game for DH for X-mas.
