I have been there

So I have decided that today's Penny Arcade is an Instant Classic

Haven’t we all seen this? My most recent experience is with Gears of War. I didn’t preorder. Why? I really don’t like giving people money for nothing in return. Since they refuse to guarantee getting my game (or console… ) the day of launch when I preorder, I refuse to preorder. It’s that simple.

So anyway, I walked into the GameStop, and there was a line of guys standing there with their moms. (Its rated M for mature which these people clearly were not, so Mother’s were required) They had enough for the preorders (maybe, they weren’t sure about that either) and the line was 30 minutes long. Luckily I caught an “employee” to tell me this in advance so I didn’t have to wait for nothing.

But here’s what cracks me up. DVD’s are not hard to stamp out. How can you not make sure that your store doesn’t order more copies than you have preorders for what you assume will be a bestselling game?

Anyway, I loved this comic.
