PreOrder -> Get Items -> Cancel PreOrder
There's noy way this works is there?
[/quote]
I want someone to test this.
[/quote]I made the mistake of doing this. Canceling isn't an automatic or guaranteed process, so I'm still waiting to see if I get anything back.
[/quote]
Keep us updated.
Re: Updates of the Week (ongoing discussion) - at0m - 03-12-2011
Well considering they only honor cancelling preorders before the release date, and it's being released Tuesday, I don't think anyone else would be able to take advantage either way :/

The lesson has been learned for later opportunities. We'll get 'em next time.

[/quote]Nope, they pulled the items when they refunded me. Looks like this one's a dead end.
Re: Updates of the Week (ongoing discussion) - Hobospartan - 03-13-2011
What would happen if you pre-ordered, then traded the items? Are they even tradeable?
Re: Updates of the Week (ongoing discussion) - BS1 - 03-13-2011
Is it bad that I smile when I kill bad players? I smile even more when they rage quit. ???

Now that would be quite the scam. Trade your pre-order items to get other items you want. Cancel the pre-order and they disappear from the other persons inventory.
Conversely, if they DON'T disappear if they get traded, you trade them to a friend to hold onto, cancel, then have said friend trade them back.

Genuine Quality items are non-tradeable for the duration of the ability to pre-order and receive items - after that they keep the Genuine prefix but become tradeable.

[/quote]And for 8 items with 2x gift wrap at what, $4.99 each, you're already at $80, which is more than you would've spent to preorder the game, and buy all of the items separately in the steam store.

gift wrap drops and is tradable. If you just trade for gift wrap you'd be good to go.

[/quote]You're still talking about burning the equivalent of almost three times the cost of buying the items in the shop.

Nothing out of the ordinary. The guys he was playing against are nearly brain dead. Only spy-checking I saw was from the demo and his frying pan, even then he got distracted immediately.
