I preordered it but was told at Gamestop you get the code when you pick up the game... hopefully that is the case. In all honesty I can't see them handing them out at the time of pre-order because what is going to stop someone from preordering it to get the code then canceling the preorder and just waiting to buy it used or something?
I was a manager for Gamestop and there is nothing to stop that to be honest. However Gamestop as a company doesn't really lose anything from that to be honest because people will still buy the game there. Not to mention that most people that care about a bonus actually want a game... It really didn't happen as often as people assume it would.
Not to mention that typically if we had let's say 20 preorders on a game we'd get as much as 30-40 of bonus codes etc etc... The "exclusive" pre-order bonuses like that never usually were... Only the big stuff. Hell I got myself and like 10 other people the code for pub games and NONE of us pre-ordered fable 2... I was able to do this without denying any customers their code either.
Anywho my point was they used to (not sure about now that company is going more to sh*t every day) not worry about that because it wasn't a big deal, it didn't happen that often. Lionhead specifically advertises that you are supposed to get the code at the time of pre-order (online) but they might not be honoring that. I guess if I never get it I won't really care it's not that big of of a deal... but I would like. I've made about ten villagers (will probably make more lol) don't know what type I want to import to the actual game though
