--- Quote from: wiggy on June 10, 2013, 07:56:27 PM ---I cannot fathom the thought of giving a retailer $500 of my dollars to hold onto for 4 or 5, or 6 months.  The Idea of 100% pre-paying for something MONTHS in advance, and at that price, is insane to me. I can't believe retailers get away with that.

While I am not 100% about this with the XB1 and PS4, I preorder things from Best Buy all the time.  I don't pay a dime/my card isn't charged until the product is in store.  Sometimes there is a $5 fee for reserving a game that is refunded, but not when I order online, just in store.

Ah, all the more reason I'm ok with never owning it.  Sounds like they're going the iOS game route.  I.e. most everything is "free", but ends up costing an arm and a leg if you really want the most from the game via a zillion micro-transactions.  I'm sure there will be charges for characters, costumes, levels, extra moves, the ability to pause the game, use of the X button, ability to customize the controller setup, removal of super annoying ads, etc.  No thanks.

It's almost unbelievable to me that he actually said that, but I'm getting numb to MS and their antics at this point.
