Um, I've been too poor to preorder San Andreas until yesterday, when I got paid. Soo is it even possible to still preorder? And if not, am I gonna have any chance at getting San Andreas soon? I'm ok with waiting a few days past the release date, cause I have a hellishly full schedule that week, but I'm gonna try to find it like the 29th or the 30th. What do yall think?
I wrote a book. Yay.

you'll still be able to preorder - I hear it is possible even on the day before official release
whether you'll be able to get it a few days after the 26th depends on where you live i guess
My advice, just preorder to know your safe

i live in phoenix, az and i went to a gamestop and preordered there.
I went there to buy a game and the sales guy asks me if i'd preordered yet, i said no. he said that i'd most likely have to wait until the middle of december until i could grab a copy.
he could have been trying to sell me something or it could be true, i dunno....
this was in august so he might not have had accurate information

hmmm, well maybe he was wrong, it depends on what kind of a town you live in
If its big and everyone knows about San An, then its pretty slim that you have a chance of geting it bcuz obviously it would sell out like that *snap*
But if youn live in a small town (like me) then you've got a good chance of geting it

i think you can pre-order until the day before so the (25th). I preordered at EBgames and the dude there. The dude said look at the poster (of San Andreas) and it said pre order now to avoid disapointment. And he said this is true, they had people preordering back in May. So, Good Luck brutha.

You can preorder until the day before, just keep in mind you're farther back on the list so might have to wait til 2nd shipment.
I preordered way back in February, so it's all good.

To poor to preorder? All it takes is five dollars!?!?!? If you knew you were goona get paid, you should have just gone ahead and got the preorder. Good luck, but next time put the 5 down. lol

The store near him might have a dumb rule where you have to put it all down, who knows.

Dude, if you haven't pre-ordered, and want it, do so NOW. Don't be one of the unlucky many searching for a copy on the shelves when it's released.
