Good point... just wanted to add.... I don't understand the logic in 'they've got your money already'... or 'don't give them money before the product is delivered'... Places like Gamestop only take a $5.00 deposit. Amazon doesn't charge your card until the game releases, same with Best Buy and other major retailers. Yet, they still provide a beta code. I could easily cancel my pre-order and use my beta code...And I haven't given them ANY money.. lol I don't see them getting any much from this. If anything, they're trying to gauge sales and how many units to produce at launch so they can maybe improve their server bandwidth to handle the load of the initial release.. among other things.
