For those that pre-ordered... remember to check that the store properly applys the pre-order charge which includes taxes. This means that you should only be paying $39.99 + taxes if you include the $10 gift card since the $10 from 39.99 to 49.99 has already been paid (ie. $59.99 - 10 gift card - 10 pre-order = $39.99).
You have no idea how gift cards and pre-orders work do you? Let me explain it: They are the same as CASH. The price will be 59.99+Tax, you will then pay that less your $10, less your Deposit on the pre-order.
We don't need you and how ever many others out there in an up roar thinking they should get the game for 39.99+tax....Nice try though!
I realized long after posting & while off line that there was a flaw with what I had stated & that by giving us $10 gift cards that the end price would not be the same as I had stated but would be as you stated. I apologize for offering incorrect advice but wonder now if we were misled somehow.
I unfortunately also neglected to print out the web site ad in order to capture the EXACT wording used so I don't positively remember if we pre-ordered last week:
- that we would be able to purchase the game for $49.99 + tax (that was what I thought the deal was as I remember seeing that price listed and that was what I was EXPECTING to have to pay for the game),
- OR that a $10 gift card was being offered upon pre-paying $10 + tax (this in fact happened when I went into the store to pre-order) which we could use towards the game or anything else of our choosing.
The former is definitely different than the latter when you factor in the tax ramifications.
Without a copy of the deal I cannot comment further as to which of the two above is in fact the correct deal & so now I expect I will have to PAY the balance of $59.99 + tax - $10 gift card - $11.30 prepaid (includes tax).
It's not quite as good as the deal I thought I was getting but at least it's better than paying full price.
Spelling mistakes? Take off ya hoser... those are due to my brain working faster than my fingers can type!
