Amazon has Sunshine Islands and Animal Parade up for preorder now. Just thought I'd point that out. ;] Can't wait, preordering mine instantly! Too bad they got delayed [big surprise]. :/

Haha, ya of course they did.

Well, I never really preorder games online. Especially not HM.

>.> I dont think you really need to preorder animal parade. Cause mostly you can but it at a store when it comes out.
It might be cheaper that way. Plus I only preorder really good games like halo and im gonna preorder SC2 when it comes out

I only preorder good games too. Which is why I'm preordering both. ;]

But I can rarely get over to Game Stop, so really preordering is faster for me, plus I get the six day free shipping and there's no tax, so actually it's cheaper. ;3 Makes it worth it to me. Not to mention they occasionally offer bonuses for preordering, like plushes and stuff.

I wish my GameStop would give out more gifts...(IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalatounge.gif)

I just pre-order them in the store. That way I know I get them the day they come out!

I preorder at the store too^^

I preorder from amazon.com because I tend to get it cheaper(IMO) that way and shipping and handling is free if the item is over $25. Plus I want a plushie(I got one when I preordered ToT)

Weren't the plushies just for the 10th anniversary thing, or do they always give them out?

At first they were, but they kept doing them.

I usually don't pre-order cause nobody in my town likes HM. And the store always has 1 copy (Which is the only copy that was shipped to them). That happened with IOH,RF2,ToT, And I'm sure this time won't be any different.

If you preorder the game on amazon using the ranchstory code, does that still do whatever it does? I mean that 200?=ranchsrtien or whatever that goes at the end of the url.

Yuppers. I need to get off my lazy arse and put the preorder link on the front page.

Awesome. I just might do that then- do you guys get cash for it?

We get like a dollar or something for every copy sold through our link. We used the money to give away games for the sweepstakes back in july 2008. There were like 6 winners, two people got IOH, and four people got $5 amazon gift cards. It was very fun and rewarding to give back to the community. <3

Thats awesome. I hope some of it goes to hosting though :X

I was feeling generous and paid for hosting out of my own pocket, whatever we got extra went to the sweepstakes.

Awwww you is so sweet!

*ending off topic discussion*

Okay, I looked on Amazon today, and they said the name is HM: Animal Paradise?...

What is this about a code on Amazon? I always buy my HM games there.

When you add a few more words at the end of the url, amazon donates purchase money to ranch story. Jason can give you the additional info, I don't really know what it is exactly.
