So I'm passing by a GameStop, and I remember the news about Canadian preorders. So I drop in, and ask the shopgirl if they're taking them. She checks the computers, tells me they were just added to their system, and the down payment is $25. However, where I preorder is where I pick up. So I decide to head over to the GameStop right next to my school. I drop in, talk to the shopgirl, she tells me that she hasn't really heard anything, but standard preorders for all consoles is $50. I tell her I heard differently, and ask her to check her computers. She tells me she's been working there for 5 years (respect gone) and that it's always been that way, and thus there's no need to check the system. I can't convince her. While they're at it, the male clerk contradicts me and tells me that Nintendo did not announce March as the NA release date at the September 29th conference. He says he "absolutely guarantees it".
Bloody GameStop. I'll drop by again and hope the same idiots aren't in.
