So...how do the rest of you all go about your pre-orders/pre-ordering?
I know that I'm the: "Cash-Guy" here
-AND-
That preference/habit also carries-over to include all of my pre-orders.
What I mean by this is that, not only do I do all of my game buying & pre-ordering (at brick & mortar stores, at least; obviously, buying/ordering on-line/from Amazon, etc is the exception), w/ straight-up cash *But* whenever I'm pre-ordering...I'll only make the pre-order if I have enough cash with me to pay for the order in full.
Reasons?
1). I guess that since as long as I can remember, I've always *Hated* (even the thought of) having to ask and/or owe money to anybody - that it applies in this case, as well (don't even want to feel like I owe GS anything:)
2). A more practical reason = that this way, I'll never have to worry about remembering how much/having enough cash on me on the day that I pick it up...smooth-n-easy = trade em my receipt for the game, and, I guess that part of it's that
3). Growing up (and yes - I'm really happy that I learned this lesson/behavior/habit when I was young) I was raised & had the 'philosophy' deeply ingrained in me that (unless you're buying a home -and- ...*maybe* a car (and, thanks to thinking/dealing this way...I don't owe a cent on my house (other than property taxes, utilities, maintenance, etc); nor do I have/make any payments for any of my cars (agin - other than insurance, EZ-Pass, repairs, upkeep, etc)) ==>
"If you don't have/can't get the cash to buy/pay for something...you probably don't really *need* whatever it is & you definitely shouldn't be going into debt to *get* whatever it is".
So, does anyone else here think, feel, and/or act like this at all?
