XCOM because it's a deep gameplay experience in a genre uncommon on consoles.

Dishonored because it's a thinking man's shooter.

But why do you pre-order in the first place? What incentives do you have to pre-order? In my country it's meaningless to pre-order unless the publisher tied an in-game exclusive to a pre-order (get this suit and weapon if you pre-order), which is rare and pretty much useless anyway.


I have a room that is entirely dedicated for gaming. I even got glass shelfing up for all my limited edition gaming stuff. So if I really like the game I do usually get the add on's. Like dead space 3, I will for sure be getting what ever they want to give. I have a sh-t load of stuff I have gathered over the years. Including things people buy me for christmas.

Also yes some store's like best buy give you a lot of points and I am a silver card member, which mean anyone of my family that goes to best buy uses my card and I get points LOL. I really don't spend the 2500 a year to keep it. Others always have something they want and it is my card they use. I do buy stuff but hardly what they think. I'm building my surround sound and all I need next is my center speaker. All polk audio and a Klipsch sub woofer that shakes my neighbors house. However I have been building this for almost a year. Everytime I pay off my credit card I use it again to buy a speaker. I'm trying to build better credit. It's not that bad but needs some work.

I know you did not ask for all this info but felt like going on, My bad.

lol, it was an interesting read. I love surround systems too.

But back to incentives, that Best Buy silver card, you probably get points even if you decide to buy the game on release without a pre-order, correct?

So it boilds down to the pre-order incentives that some publishers put in, sometimes tied to a particular store, correct?

Now let's say you go to Best Buy and they tell you game X has no special exclusive items tied to it, why would you pre-order it?
