I just waited for the representative to pick up, and told them I don't have a car. It might be a coincidence, but I haven't gotten a single call since, and that was three months ago.
If you don't like this policy, please send a complaint to corporate. The employee isn't just doing it to be an annoying asshole, they're doing it to keep their job. Their continued employment depends on them asking everyone that enters the store if they want to preorder something. If their quota of preorders and warranties isn't up to snuff, they're fired. And don't complain to the person at the register, or even the manager, because they can't do anything about it. It's just their job. I still don't understand why people get mad at the sales associate when their trades aren't worth that much, or they ask them to preorder. It may be annoying, but they have no control over it. Please save your complaints about corporate wide policy for corporate. We (the register monkeys) aren't all bad people. We're just following bad (from the customer viewpoint) corporate policy. On the other hand, if an employee's being a fanboi, or just being a general unknowledgeable jerk, then feel free to complain to the manager. That's a local problem, with a local solution.
I'm not sure you want that, with Bethesda behind the wheel. Elder Scrolls: Fallout, even more buggy than Fallout 2, but with light bloom! I'll take Van Buren, thanks.
When it comes down to it, I believe I can have the same amount of fun (if not more) with the $130 Nintendo DS than I could with the $300+ current-gen consoles. My fun wouldn't increase five-fold if I bought a PS3, I don't think.
Wait.. if we devise a way of reliably defeating text-images in spam, wouldn't that help the spammers by giving them the tools to defeat text-in-image used by free email sites and the like? It's seems they're using our tools against us... again.
... as long as it comes in something more sturdy than the cardboard box that the "Collector's Edition" of GTA: San Andreas came in, that tore apart before it even got off the shelves at GameStop. What would be really nice is if they included graphical upgrades like they did with the collection for the X-Box, bring GTA III and Vice City up to San Andreas graphics quality. That'd be worth the money.

Wow, I'm awesome. The broken link is my own 1337 skills. Let's try this again: http://www.sitemaps.org/protocol.html Mmm, closing tags.

I guess I went a little light on the sarcasm, with the italics and all.
PROTIP: Avoid this weak attempt to profit off of the demise of E3 by one of the best gaming magazines ever.
Is this SLI capable? Not that I would be able to pay for even one of the cards...
