Poll: Pre-ordering games-do you do it?

[Mushroomfreak111]

Please? *kittenstare*

What bugs me about that image is that I didn't find out where you live by checking your profile! I barely learned anything about you! Tempting me with delicious food...

Depends on the game. Some games I just need to have right away

The only time i've ever Pre-ordered any game was back in july as i wait for Dissidia: Final Fantasy for the PSP

It's not like i even needed to Pre-order though so i found it a silly move on my part

 

[TheFacelessOne]

Meh. I see no point in pre-ordering. Just wait for the thing to come out, I mean, its not like oyu're oging to nessecarily get it any sooner because you pre-order it.

 

[Sethzard]

If I know I'll get the game then yes, especially because Game gives double reward points, I get it a day early and they occasionally give some nice pre order bonus.

 

[Chancie]

I only do it if there is a pre-order bonus with it that I like. xD But sometimes, I don't even get the bonus so half the time, it isn't even worth it. :/

Some games you have to buy unless you want to risk not geting it and sometimes pre-order deals can be good so i usually pre-order

Two problems with that.

1. I've never seen a game that was impossible to get at launch (a few months after launch after the game flopped, like some cult legends, yeah).

2. Preordering does not guarantee you a copy of the game.

I could see the benefits of preordering on steam because you save 10% and usually you get a free related game.

I've only ever pre-ordered two games: Rock Band and Brawl. Both of the down payments I put on the games ended up counting towards the final price anyways, so it was worth it. And Brawl actually sold out very quickly, so I'm glad I did.

 

[Shepard's Shadow]

I only pre-order if it is a game I really want and it has a collector's edition. I did for Halo 3, Dragon Age: Origins and Mass Effect 2.

 

[Lost In The Void]

I've only preordered one game and that was Dragon Age: Origins, and I shall be doing the same with Mass Effect 2. A huge amount of research goes into my preordering process and thus I've only preordered one, and because of that I has a 100% success rate

 

[bob-2000]

No, I always consider the possibility that the game may be shit (except for episode 3, of course)

 

[Bravo 21]

No, i see the advantages of having the game right then, but usually I just wait until I can buy it at a ridiculous discount, either later in the year, or maybe just before a sequel comes out, or maybe on an opportune Steam Sale.

 

[Vault101]

only if I have the money its a no brainer like Falout NV

Ill probably pre order ME3

other than that I usually cant afford new releases
