EA preorder philosophy

Anyone else a little frustrated with EA's preorder philosophy of having 6 different options from 6 different retailers? Being an alum of an SEC school I went with GameStop but I wouldn't mind having the option of getting more than one ultimate team pack (I am really excited about Ultimate Team this year). Where did everyone else preorder?

Re: EA preorder philosophy

I pre-ordered from Gamestop, and, since I will NEVER touch the Ultimate Team feature, i'll probably end up giving my free pack away to someone else who wants it.

Re: EA preorder philosophy

you can buy the other packs. If it wasnt for them giving them away with pre orders we would have to buy all of them. I pre ordered from amazon cause its more convenient. No tax. Release day shipping free.

The retailers make those requests of publishers all the time. EA doesn't really care where you get it from, but exclusive pre order bonuses mean more favorable shelf placement and better in-store advertising.

Re: EA preorder philosophy

I knew you could buy packs but I didn't know if those exact ones would be available or not. I'd do amazon also, but I have to pay tax (there is an amazon distribution center in our city) and I really have no desire for the PAC 10 pack. I guess I thought more people might be excited about ultimate team.

Preorder bonuses do not influence where I preorder a game. I always buy from Amazon. I will probably never play ultimate team but I will look at the pack just out of curiosity.

Re: EA preorder philosophy

I preordered at Best Buy, and turns out they have the Big Ten Ultimate Team pack...as a Buckeye fan, it was a happy accident.

I generally deal with Best Buy, as GameStop is the bane of my existence.
