GameStop Nintendo Wii Pre-Order details

Kotaku has posted a tip from a reader about some details on the Nintendo Wii pre-order situation.

Although they aren’t starting them now, here’s the information I’ve got so far. (At least pertaining to my local store, located in Morgantown, WV.)

1. They aren’t taking Wii pre-orders YET, but ARE taking pre-orders for Wii launch games (IE Zelda:Twilight Princess). That’s $5 minimum down.

2. IF you pre-order a Wii game, you will recieve an automated call they day that they will start taking Wii pre-orders.

3. Wii pre-orders will not be delegated by the bundle you buy, but rather a “first come, first serve” basis.

4. Wii pre-orders are $50, and this does NOT have to be in trade-in credit.

5. If you trade in any old games/DVDs towards your Wii, you will get an additional 30% credit.

iBloggedThis can confirm that at least in NJ various GameStop stores which we have called or visited, have said that they are not going to be calling anyone, even if they have pre-ordered a game, to notify them when pre-orders for the Nintendo Wii Console begin.
