Earlier we reported that reserving your copy of COD4 at a GameStop or EBGames would net you a beta code on the spot. We have since learned that this is not entirely true.

Each store received a packet of slips, but the slips do not contain a code. Instead, COD4 reserves are required to give their e-mail at the time of reservation so the code can be mailed to them. It is no certain how long it will take to receive your code.

This is most certainly part of GameStop Inc.'s recent push to gather customer's e-mail addresses. Will they sel your info? Probably not, but be expecting lots of e-mail ads from GameStop.

To be fair, GameStop doesn't JUST send ads. They occassionally send e-mail only coupons that you can print out and bring to the store for discounts.

Anyways, there ya have it!
