Bizarre experiment on pre-order of Haze

Could be potentially profitable for EB in a few ways is my guess.

Haze Being Offered For Free In The US/Canada

Haze Being Offered For Free In The US/Canada
Well, kind of free, eh?Gamestops in the US and Canada have been sending out flyers to inform those interested in Haze that they can basically get the game free upon release. There is a catch, though, as they'll have to bring the game back after a week, and will receive in-store credit instead of their actual money back.

The flyer (which you can see below) states that those who put down their money for the game early will be given the offer to return the game after a week's play for a full refund in store credit to spend on another arguably better title in the future. Gamestop will, of course, hope that many forget to bring the game back on time thus meaning gamers will be out of pocket, and they instead will be rolling in extra cash thanks to the high amount of pre-orders they should garner from this offer. ...

Woah. That's craziness. But what do they care really? They make most of their money on sale of used games so this will (1) result in more sales of Haze, (2) more sales of another game and (3) more sale of used copies of haze a week after release. Interesting concept.

Guaranteed that you spend that credit one way or another at EB, or not at all. I wonder what percentage of store credit never gets used in general at retailers.
