Your First Ever Pre-Ordered Game

[child of lileth]

Megaman & Bass. I never picked it up, but I did eventually buy it.

 

[Lord Kodous]

Halo 2 was my first pre-order, I think.

 

[LoStInMyMiNd]

I think it was timesplitters 3. Worth every bloody penny ^^

 

[Jonatron]

Does Steam count? If so, then Secret of Monkey Island 2: Special Edition.
If not then I've not actually pre-ordered a game ever.

 

[tehbeard]

Halo 3, since Bioshock came with my Xbox and as such doesn't count.

 

[Uber Waddles]

Yu Gi Oh: Duelist of the Roses

Yeah, I know... I was young...

And to be fair, it was a game with an original idea

 

[gnargle]

im pritty sure it was a gamecube with supersmash brothers melee when i got it my eyes had to ajust to the graphics i played that game for i can remember 2 years without regret one of the best games ever made

You are wrong!
Super Smash Bros Melee wasn't a Gamecube launch title, bro

 

[oranger]

Demons Souls, and was it ever worth it dood. It came with awesome stuff.

 

[Therumancer]

Hard to say, but I *THINK* it was "Ultima 7: The Black Gate".

 

[titaniumChampion]

Metal Gear Solid on Playstation. So many hours spent on the Demo that came with the Official Playstation magazine, I knew I needed to pre-order. Well worth the money too.

New Super Mario Bros (DS) I even pulled a sickie just so I could play it the moment I arrived Shameful I know....but worth it

Until I got my 360 I was always playing catch up on games - I got my PS2 and XBox well after all the good games were already out. I think my first preorder was probably Halo 3, and shamefully I only bought the standard edition. I looked pretty silly showing up at a midnight launch to pick up a game I could have picked up off the shelf the next day. Technically that goes for people who bought the special editions of Halo 3 as well, but we didn't know it at the time.

Super Mario Galaxy wasn't a Wii launch title either, but I still preordered it the same time I put my deposit on my Wii... then it came out over a year after it's predicted release date and I had long lost interest in the Wii by then.

Edit: Come to think of it, I guess Super Mario Galaxy was my first preorder. I got my 360 when Gears of war came out, which was a week before the Wii came out. I wouldn't preorder Halo 3 until well into the following year.
Weird. I still have ten bucks down on SMG at the EB Games I used to work at.

I think it was a copy of NBA Jam for the SNES, but it was so long ago it is hard to remember.

 

[tehroc]

Civ V, dunno if I would have available cash in late September. So I bought it while I did have income.

 

[SimplyTheWest]

Fable 2 I think, which was a mistake, considering I completed it in less than a week...

And it also halved in price in about two weeks after release.

 

[Sallix]

The Burning Crusade

I've never pre-orderd a game in my life.

I think pre-ordering is only necessary in countries like America or Japan where there are still actual lines infront of gameshops. I don't think I've ever seen a line infront of a gameshop in Holland.

If you pre-order from GAME in the UK, you get the game the day before release or earlier.

Surely this is illegal.

I don't know how street dating works in the UK but in Australia you get fired if you sell a game before the street date and the company gets a fine somewhere in the tens or even hundreds of thousands.

Pokemon Gold (original)
