I've done it for weird used poo poo that might accidentally not be in stock, like ps2 SMT games. but it seems kinda weird and pointless to do it for a current release, almost as weird as buying a physical copy of a current release for full retail price would be in the first place

This is just a common normie thing OP. They don't just go to the store and buy stuff, they call and confirm that it's at the store, and then navigate to the store via GPS. It's hosed up but that's the way the world works now.

To play devil's advocate once again, it'd suck if your store was far away and you drove to it only to discover the game was not in stock.

koolkal posted:buying games at full retail price lol hmm im not sure if i should pre-order some lovely game for 60-70 bucks from gamestop or from bestbuy... i really like the look of the gamestop exclusive "vestments of the arch-retard" alternate skin but the bestbuy exclusive is a replica of the protagonist's iconic fedora that i would shamelessly wear outside in public (when that day comes) hmm oh wow actually i better shell out one hundo for that sweet steel case and cool figurine that will steadfastly protect my virginity from any would-be suitors
