Yes, as long as you pre-order the game by a certain date, you'll have it in your hands on that day. At least that's what a couple of friends told me.

yes works nicely ive pre-orders a couple of times from them..

l4d2, guildwars: eotn, batman AA, sniper: ghost warrior.. works great :D

comes out usually within a day of the release date if not on time if you do store pick-up.

I did the in-store pickup once, but the local Gamestop that I did the option with never got the order in and therefore, my copy of WWE All Stars was not available. So it's really not a trustworthy option. Best thing to do is to go into the store and pay the $5 down yourself. That has always worked for me.

If you pre-order online, you'll most likely get it 1-2 days early.
