    I'm not sure if this guy is a genius or an idiot.

    Except anyone with a basic concept of budgeting can figure out how to not to overdraft. Also, how does he have a debit or credit card if all he does is run money through gamestop? Nowawadays, it's almost a necessity to have an alternative to cash.

    He's an idiot.

    No Credit Card
    No Checks
    No ATM
    No Interest
    No Bill Pay
    No FDIC protection

    All because the maybe "genius or idiot" could't stop over drafting his bank?

    What would be awesome is if gamestop went belly up overnight one day with all of his money sitting there in pre-orders.

    Right, right. But it's very likely made up. Since well, everything on that site is bull****.

    Could be but i wouldn't put it passed the demographic of most gamestop customers to do this crap.

    The few times i've been to a gamestop I walk out feeling sorry for the employees due to the amount of crap they have to put up with.

    If he's just getting a refund on cash outlays from his excessive pre-orders, which probably contributes to his overdrafts, he's all kinds of idiot.
