Your First Ever Pre-Ordered Game

[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.

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)

 

[TerribleAssassin]

MW2..

What a waste of pre-given in £45...

They ship it out to you so you get it on release. Infact whether you get it a day before release entirely depends on royal mail and where you live. They aren't intentionally sending it out so you get it early, they're covering for themselves so you definitely get the game on the day of release, even if royal mail is slow.

First game that I personally pre-ordered? Pokemon SoulSilver. (I'm a sad, pitiful human being I know.)

 

[chromewarriorXIII]

I actually just recently pre-ordered my first game, which is Fallout: New Vegas. Sadly, my ten year old sister pre-ordered a game before I did (Pokemon SoulSilver), but I got it on launch day anyway.

 

[Polyintrinsic]

Mine would have to be Diablo II: LOD. Does this show my age?

 

[Le_Lisra]

Funny, I never did preorder a game..

I preordered exactly one CD (Katatonias re-release of Discouraged Ones) and nothing else.. huh.

 

[linwolf]

Have never pre-ordered, always wait for a price drop before I buy.

 

[rileyrulesu]

Starcraft 2

yeah, i never preorder games...

 

[EightGaugeHippo]

Halo ODST. but my bank cancelled the order for some stupid reason (It was because I had never ordered anything from that site before) and I lost the pre-order bonus.

 

[wolf92]

The Force Unleashed

 

[Outright Villainy]

Majora's mask.
Was every cartridge of that game Gold, or was it like Ocarina? Incidentally I had gotten ocarina beforehand by finding it in a bargain bin for 5 quid.
BEST VALUE EVER.

 

[Darth Brownie]

First preorder was Persona 4

The guy at the store gave me an art book because i was the only one who preordered it from them

 

[Altorin]

hrmmm... honestly, I've never been big on pre-orders.. I think I only ever pre-ordered Burning Crusade (wow expansion), The Force Unleashed (frowny face), and Mass Effect 2

 

[Valkyira]

True Crime Streets of LA. For some reason back then, I thought pre-ordering it meant I could have it early. Oh what a naive teenager I used to be.

 

[Amphoteric]

I have yet to preorder a game, why pay twice as much than if you bought it in a months time. I will never buy a game for over £20.
