The only time I preorder is for Steam games such as ORANGE BOX OMG PREPURCHASE IT RIGHT NOW SO YOU CAN PLAY TF2 BETA ON MONDAY!!!! and for bonuses, like a Phoenix Wright plush doll I can apparently get when preordering the next game?
Otherwise, I don't see the point anymore. I used to a few times when I was younger, but now I realize that stores don't always get it on time, and if they don't, I'm screwed because I threw money at them, only to see it came out a day early at Toys R Us or Target or whatever.
If I have reason to believe Mario or SSBB will be sold out, I'll make sure to pre-order. But if it's not at one store, there's at least 10 game-selling stores within every quarter mile around here...one of them will have it on launch day, so no use tying myself to one store.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release. (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )
