My husband and I pre-ordered through EB Games under the impression that pre-ordering would mean that the first possible day we could get a copy of DoD, it would be at the store, waiting. So we called our EB here, they said it wasn't in....called again to ask when they thought the pre-orders would be in, they told us the 18th (Sunday makes no sense, but whatever)...we called the customer service number on the EB site to see when they were supposed to get it, got told that all EB Games stores with pre-orders should have had them in today. So the husband called Futureshop, located 3 copies, of which we bought 2, promptly went to EB, asked them when the earliest possible date for DoD to be there was and was informed that it wasn't released yet at all and wouldn't be til Sunday. He showed them the retail box he got at Futureshop, the guy did a "Where'd you get that???" and he told them, so at least we were able to get the money we put down for pre-ordering back, which is against policy, but what happened was against what we were promised. All in all, I'm unimpressed with pre-ordering because it doesn't guarantee what it should, at least where I live.
