How many preorders at your Gamestop/ebgames?

pestario · 19-09-2005, 08:12 AM

Just wanted to start a thread to get an idea of how many units each Gamestop/Ebgames is expecting at launch?

The Ebgames were I have my Preorder has 22 Premium/2 Core and is sold out of 1st shipment.

What about yours?

I couldn't get a number, but when I went to mine a week ago they said their entire first shipment was sold out and the second shipment was going fast.

ummm...mine said when my brother pre-orded his(like 1 month after i did mine) that he will get his on launch day and he is on the *** end of the "second shipment" and G4everX told me that they are supposed to say they are on the "second shipment" but really that is just estimated so don't worry

28 Premium, 3 core. Sold out of Premium, and no one wants the core.

Night Owl · 19-09-2005, 07:17 PM

That seems like a really low amount...

mabe it is a new store

G4everX · 19-09-2005, 07:45 PM

Mine has about 40 for the premium pack, and 0 for the core.

Oh, and to further back the fact that people will get there console on launch, is that their online store is still taking orders. (some one was mad about being at the end of the list).

Opps, had a typo... it's 38 for the premium.

22 is problly not too small of a number for the Ebgames were I got my preorder. It is not a major shopping Mall location, it's a smaller shop in a strip mall that just recetnly opened in like the last 6 months or so.

I know that I should be safe, but until I get this thing in my theatre room I will not feel safe. I read on another forum someone said that ebgames was giving 1st priority to all the bundle orders then divding the remaning among the stores, but that didnt make much sense to me. has anyone else heard that?

I know it. They pre-allocated an amount of online bundles before hand. Then the rest were divided among all the other EB Stores depending on how much business they got on the initial pre-sell. The one by me ran out of pre-sells in less then a month. That may not seem like much, but there was no advertising and only enthusiasts knew about the 360 at that time. The limit then was 17 I think. A day or two after the official price was released; the limit was extended to 38. I know the people there, so they showed me the official list of stores in the area. They are in the top 5 for total amounts. The highest one was 50 I think.

Where i live, in a range of 1/2 mile there are 3 gamestops and one ebgame. And all of them are full on their 1st shipment

Thanks for the info 1031982,

That clears things up quite a bit. So it's not like they are taking exisiting pre-orders from the B&M stores to fill bundle orders. They just gave priority to online bundles then left some for the local stores. They now know how many they will get for the 11-22 launch. From the numbers I am seeing 22 first shipment units for a new, smaller store would seem pretty inline with the numbers others are seeing at there stores.

22 premium at the EB Games by me no core they are only like a month or two old so they wernt able to get many preorders because of that.

co_ray · 20-09-2005, 09:10 AM
