Quoted from viper001:That is what I meant to say. Jack is the only manufacturer that requires a deposit. I can understand how Title #1 may have necessitated that step, but if he wants to appeal legit going forward it would be good to get away from that practice.
The only way the preorder practice is going away is if people quit preordering. Jack hadn't even officially announced The Hobbit but when it leaked that was JJP #2 people were calling Jack and asking him to take their money. Same as when people were calling and demanding to put money down on Steve Ritchie's next machine (rumored Star Trek).
