Poll: Why do YOU preorder?

[Grabbin Keelz]

Because Team Fortress 2 gives me hats :3

The only reason I would EVER consider pre-ordering something was if the price for pre-ordering was noticeably smaller than the retail-day price (like, say, half the price) ON TOP of various pre-order goodies.

I pre-order mainly for the bonuses, plus it gives me something to look forward to. One of the best pre-order bonuses I've ever gotten with a game was with Arcana Heart 3, and the Mei Fang '3D' mousemat.

I want the games on the day and work nights, having them delivered is easier than driving into town looking like a zombie.

Other: To get games early, pre-orders tend to appear the day before launch.

Pre-orders are often cheaper. And if it's a small game the developers need the money to eat.

Pre-orders often turn out badly for me though (Fuck you DA:2!)

1) to play the game asap. If its a popular game franchise then it'll probably be sold out on opening weekend
2) pre-order bonuses

I do it mainly because i forget to go get a game on release so i just have amazon mail it to me on street date.

Itdepends on the retailer. In the UK GAME tend to release their pre-orders first class on a Tuesday, meaning I receive them Thursday (In the UK most games are released on a Friday).

EDIT: Yes it is pretty cool!
