Game Pre-orders, Do You Want 'em?

Here at Project:Blu we understand that most of you have a gaming system, and some of you never turn it off. That, mixed with high-demand, is why we introduced the GAME ROOM, catering to your High Definition Gaming Needs.

Randell works very hard on getting you pre-order and price drops on all Blu-rays available on Amazon, and we were wondering if you wanted pre-orders for high definition gaming as well (360, PS3)?

Let us know what you think... whether it's a waste of time, a great idea, or if there's even a better idea in somebody else's head.

Thanks,
Iggy

Scan it, nope it's not midget porn. I promise.

If you do want them, I will need some help from you guys (the members or staff) If anyone knows of a site where I can get a good (and accurate) list of upcoming games, it would be very helpful. Starting the Blus was easy, as I'm a big (huge) movie lover and had a list (or 2 or 3) to use. I just don't know of a good place for games.

There is two ways I can do it...

1) Do it just like the Blu-ray preorders and make pages for it.

or

2) Just make a thread and have a few posts for placeholders. Have a list in alphabetical order and have system on left, date of release on right and when released, take them off. EXAMPLE. I can bump post when new titles are added and links will be on both original post and bump post.


Thoughts???

Also, how about imports (Blu-ray) as well?


All of the ideas have been in the thought process since I had AAPOP, just haven't gotten to them. Setting the threads up would be a whole (whole) lot easier, and I think it would look better, but it's up to you guys (and gals).

Thanks for opinions and support :)

See the avatar. Trust the avatar. Fuck Best Buy.

i think bringing in imports (from amazon uk, for example) would be a good addition to integrate into the existing POP pages. they are a different date (monday instead of tuesday), but the, for example, January 6 post could be for all titles THE WEEK OF January 6, to cut down on issues associated w/ the imports, and off date titles.

blu importation is getting bigger as more and more titles fall through the cracks, so hey, why not? the only downside: preorders are never guaranteed region coding, or language tracks.

Well I am not a big gamer these days due to kids etc so you can take this with a grain of salt but I dont feel that a pre-order page for games in needed. The prices for video games is so fixed that its always going to start at 59.99 and stay at 59.99 and there is never a shortage of them at release so there really isnt a point to pre-ordering. Save your time for other projects in my view.
