I personally do, as I get everything online so then if I pre-order, I get in the release date (or before) without having to leave home, especially as the only proper game shop is about 20 minutes away and I can't really be bothered (at my actual home, there isn't one for about 30 mins).

I always find that the cheapest place to buy it is online though, I can't really be bothered to look around for a few £ savings when it is plenty cheap on amazon already

I always pre-order from online not only do I get the game close to the relese date, I save $20-30 ordering it from the Uk.

But I bet you don't pre-order months in advance? 

{having said all of this, I am pre-ordering GTA from amazon (it definitely won't go bankrupt, something I can't say about any other British retailer) the moment the release date is announced}


Twice I have been screwed over by games not arriving on the day of release plus our postal service doesn't arrive until 14:00 half the time so half the day is gone waiting if they do deliver on the day.  I've not had a game arrive the day before for a couple of years when I have ordered online so I'd rather take the 10 minute trip to town and back to ensure I get it and can play straight away when I do want something on the day of release.  The last game I pre-ordered was Halo 4 which I picked up from my local shop at midnight on release day and the only reason I pre-ordered was to get the Limited Edition guaranteed.
