I don't get it though. What's the benefit to preordering a game?

The benefit to pre-ordering a game is knowing that you'll have the game the minute it releases.

Also, there aren't any drawbacks. So why not?

Pretty much this.  I preordered Pikmin 3 even tho I was for sure they would have many copies, turns out they only got 6, and I walked away with the last one while 3 others came before me without preorder.  Would have had to wait another week for more.

Now for Pokemon Y, since I'm DL'in it, no need to preorder for me.
