I doubt I will get the answer I want but here goes:
Fact 1
reorders get a special land speeder and dont pay sales taxes
reorders get a special land speeder and dont pay sales taxesFact 2:Stores will have this game available on the shelves on Oct 27. You dont get the special land speeder and have to pay salestax.
Question being
oes preordering mean that I will have JTL in my mailbox on the 27th or was preordering just a precursor to having to wait 3-5 days (or 2 if you paid the extra (ridiculous) $26) just to save $1 or $2 and get this Nabooine speeder? I have worked in the video rental industry so I know that quite often products are recieved up to a week prior to actual release date but you are not allowed to put them on the shelves until said release date. So what is stopping companies from shipping to people who preorder their products to ensure they will have it available the day of release? I know this sounds a little bit whiny but hey, I have been waiting for this release for a very long time, basically since I know JTL is just a revamp and upgrade of the X-Wing and Tie fighter games I used to love back before the internet and mmorpg's.
