Pre-order bonuses would do it for me, but only if the goodies are really great, or its a game i know i'm going to like

The only game I have ever pre-ordered was portal 2, and i might pre-order assassins creed revelations, and mass effect 3, that is, if i can actually play that without having to use origin....
I only pre-order games if I like the games so much, that i want to play it straight away. So I guess that means if its a sequel to a game I loved.

I pre ordered Tropico 4 (off steam) because I had played Tropico 3 and enjoyed it as well as the pre order bonus was the first 2 games for free.
I like pre ordering from steam as some pre orders come with a free game straight away or give you some sort of free dlc without any hassles.

Well all those options in the poll relate to why I ordered Red Orchestra 2, the main reason I would pre-order is for say 10% dicount or something similar on my wonderful little steam
I preorder for these reasons, exclusive stuff and my membership card. I'm a sucker for exclusive stuff like a limited figure, tin case and stuff like that. I buy my games from the UK game store GAME which I have a membership card. When I use my card to preorder I get double points and the more points I have the more discount I get to buy that game at a cheaper price.
easier to get the money in that way and some of the games i preorder are a ***** to get if you don't. Unless you want to wait 6 months to a year to find em. Or get them online. Neither of which appeal to me. Bonuses are exactly that. A bonus. The only game I preordered for the bonus was Bioshock 2 collectors edition so I could add to my vinyl collection. Though I do enjoy looking through the art book when I feel like digging it out....However its also just so that i can remember to get the game. since i get messages on my mobile saying the game is out this date...
I never pre-ordered to get something extra. I'd do that if I knew people would buy it out quick. Unless if I get a soundtrack,then again the games that come with soundtracks are songs you don't care about and the games with the songs you do care about must be bought separately.
For consoles, to make sure I get a copy.
For PC, pre-order bonuses and it's 5-10 bucks cheaper. But there's only been a few cases I've pre-ordered for PC (Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad, STALKER: Clear Sky, STALKER: Call of Pripyat, Battlefield 3, and Doom 3.)
Hilariously, only 2 of those game actually had Pre-order bonuses.

The latest game I preordered not two days ago was Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3. I preordered the game due to the fact that I immensely enjoyed the first version, and want to ensure my copy is ready on day 1. After trading in the previous version for store credit, and using that toward paying off Ultimate MvC3 in full, which I did, I know that my game will be there for me the day it comes out.
I don't preorder games very often, and only then if I know I'll like the game. The fact that I am getting a preorder bonus for preordering Ultimate MvC3 is just what it is: a little extra incentive for buying the game ahead of time. That doesn't make it worth spending the extra money ahead of time entirely, but it certainly is nice. I love Capcom, and I love the Vs series. Therefore, I support the company with extra money toward my copy.
The fact that my game is payed in full already means that come November, I am basically getting the game for free. I can't wait.

Mostly cause my friends never have the cash to buy the games when they come out. So buy the time i have gotten at least 45% up the ranking system they would have finally bought the game. Also the pre order stuff tends to be a pretty nice bonus.
