Hello gentlemen and if there are lady gamers here, HELLO LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.

Well, as stated above, I pre-ordered a game and yes, it is FIFA 13 for Xbox 360.
Curious though cause this is my first pre-ordering a game from the Internet. I have a friend that lives in America. He had an unboxing video of Transformer: War of Cybertron for Xbox 360? I'm not sure for which console but he did an unboxing video before the release date which I don't know when.

The question is do I get it before the release date or during the release date? Some say it is illegal to receive the game before the release date,told by a friend of mine and he too also said that it will arrived to the house 2 weeks after the release date. Which is correct and which is wrong? Pre-order FIFA 13 on lazada.com.my

Please reply. THANK YOU.

I've never tried preordering from lazada. When you'll get your copy of game is really depends on when they get their stocks.

If you're in klang valley, you can drop by Gamers hideout in 1utama/tropicana city mall/e@curve to preorder and have a righ estimation when you'll get your copy

Normally, logically, we don't get games before their release date. Unless you're some kind of games reviewers or got well connected liason with games distributors/promoters/any kind or highway truck hijackers.

The truth is we (in Malaysia) will only get the pre-ordered games at least 2 weeks after the release due to inevitable shipping process. Still some awesome seller/reseller can get it a couple days faster.

Here in LYN also got some respectable sellers who take pre-orders and give estimated date. Just check it out.

You dont get the game before release. Those video you watching probably belong to a media like IGN/Gamespot and so on. They gets the game early for review purposes.

Usually we pre-order a game when there goodies come with it where normal customer didnt get if they buy after release.

Anyway, i heard lazada sucks, you should have pre-order at www.tsb.com.my, they distribute all EA title in Malaysia, you probably get a free poster too.

I got MW3 last week from Lazada since Gamer's Hideout didn't have the stock. Its okay I thing. Though I already pre-order FIFA 13 from them. Goodies? Even pre-order via online you can goodies?

I will check out the site you gave.

Thank you!
