I want to proreder diamond. I've never pre-ordered a game in my life and I want to know how much do I have to pay. I've read somwhere else that you pay a 5 dollar deposit does that mean you pay the 35 dollars when you come to pick it up or do you give the store 35 dollars and give them your name or something. please help

You pay the store a down payment (usually $5 for a game), your name goes into their system as having given them a down payment and reserved a copy, and then you pay them the balance of the price when you pick up the game from them.

That's right. You can also pay for the whole thing up front if you want, though, so you don't have to stand in line or anything when you go to pick it up. Just flash your reciept and walk out with Diamond.
 
I heard that Target is giving something to you for free when you pre-order it by March 28th. A stylus and a special edition something that I forgot the name of.

And for pete's sake, before anyone asks, you get the pre-order bonus when you pick up your game! Do not begin panicking when you pre-order your game and don't walk out of the store with the bonus!
 
You can put down 5 bucks to assure your copy. You can pay the rest off when ever but you must do it before the game comes out. I usually pay off the whole thing at the start so there is no confussion.
 
just to clarify I can walk into gamestop ask the person if I can preorder 1 pokemon diamond and then hand him 35 dollars take my receipt and walk out?
 
Whoa. I never knew these stuff too. I think I'm gonna go to Gamestop and order this game like tomorrow or maybe today!! I'm getting Pokemon Pearl!!!

So will the game still come on the 22 of April or the 23 when you pre-order. Because usually whenever they say it comes out like April 22 it always comes the next day so which day?
 
I have question that pertains to this. I put $5 dollars on both to preorder, my question is that if the cost $35 before the preorder is it $30 after like when I go to pick it up will it be $60 or $70 plus tax?
 
Not to preorder you don't, can someone please answer my question
 
Never have I seen so many questions about something so simple.

The $5 you put down on each game is deducted from the final cost of the game; the tax is on your total purchase. When you go to pick up your games, you'll pay $30 for each game ($35 - $5 preorder) and then your total purchase (about $60) will be taxed, resulting in the final cost of your purchase.

do you need a credit card or something?

Pay by whatever method you choose. Hand the cashier a $5 bill for your preorder, or, and this is just a hunch, when you bring your mom or dad into the store, they can charge $5 on a credit card if they so like.

If you want to pay the total cost of the game + tax as your down payment, then yes. Most stores only require a $5 down payment to reserve a copy, though, with you paying the balance when you pick up the game. Yes, you will get a receipt, and it's always good to keep it around just in case you need hard proof that you preordered a copy, but most stores will put your name on a list in their computer system, saying that you've paid money to reserve a copy.

Good lord, people, how old are you?

Remember, the game's shipping date is April 22. Most stores will get it on the 23rd, or perhaps even the 24th if you're really out in the boonies. Check with whatever store you preordered from to be sure.
