I used to do it to make sure stock doesn't run out on the first day. Since once I was trying to get some mega man game for the gba sp and they ran out. Nowadays it has just kind of become a habit to preorder games that I know will be good and you get those preorder bonuses too. I usually wait for reviews if I'm unsure. I only remember one time that I was disappointed with a preorder and that was for La Noire. It just wasn't my kind of game, but since it was rockstar, I said why not.(though rockstar didn't actually make it xD) |
I don't think I've seen a standard edition of a game sold out in the last 5 years (in the entire area, maybe one store). But I know what you mean about the good ol days. Now, the main reason to pre order is for bonus content, or collector editions, etc.
Me, I don't pre order. Many times I even wait for the game to go on sale, or buy them used. Then when I am done, I sell my games. The one exception was GOW:A, only because the cute gamestop girl begged me to. I was suckered.
