Good point. I have done that in the past. When I still vision and before the VCR boom I paid for a brand new copy never open movie of Back to the Future for $89. Oh sure could rent it, but wanted not to rent it again and again and maybe paying late chares. The movie was going to be mine and no other human has viewed it. You know that new smell is part of the price. Still have it in my huge library. Smiles. So there is something to be said about pre order as well being online or going to a store and pre ordering, say a copy of Passion of the Christ. The pre order price is set, but if the demand for the pre order is strong the regular price will be set lower to make more money, as James himself had mentioned days earlier to make more money. So when I did pre order Race Way the several times I was in a way trying to make the regular price drop. Again the reular price will have a huge drop when the pre orders are very strong. The weaker the higher the price will be. It sounds like there is not as a strong pre order for Monty as race way. Reasons for this is obvious. For James he really needs not to follow theses rules for awhile until he gets his company back in the favors of the gamers. If I was in James bunny slippers let the pre orders get some kind of deal being a discount, some extra little program thrown in to sweetin the deal if he plans to continue pre order games. Really, when pre order prices are low the the regular price when it come out is for products that would be bought in bundles. The last time Race WAy was in pre order status mode I did order two of them so, I may be able to give one away as a gift or prize. In face when your new game dose come available I see myself doing that my friend as well as our friend Mike game. For me this is my way to help out and be able to present some one who is on a fix income to get a game. In which is what a lot what I am trying to do for tohers and for myself. As those know me. I am working on making Strat Sport Sims more accessible and have contests to those who may not have a lot of cash to spend on games, have a chance to win a game that they can play not only by themselves but with other blind friends or friends with vision. So, what I am doing I don't have to worry about to pre order products or not pre order products.. Pre order is a tool to tst the market's supply and demand and there are many third parties. use it like Amazon. Others who do pre ordering marketing is Marketers them selves. Buy my book and get the great egg pealer and if you pre order now we will throw in in the amazing belly button lint remover at the low, low price.
So no matter how one uses pre ordering at a higher price or at a low price, the best thing is to follow through with what you have promised. Abuseing pre ordering in broken promises, got to be prepared to be abused by disgrunted customers.. If not by their own fault, can still do something for those who still believe in the promise and those who stand be behind them. For for me I still believe that the White Sox will win the World Series. And see what happens when you do. Now if those dam Cubs would win it I can rest in Piece.
