The only time I preorder are for games that I know will sell out on Day 1, and my local Wally-World won't have it in.
In the case of Oblivion (the last game I preordered since Zelda: Ocarina of Time), 80 copies were preordered and they only had about 30-40 normal ones in. When they got Oblivion in, there were about 2 dozen inline for their preorders.
I made the mistake of trying to get a copy of Forza 2 about 4 hours after they got it....Bad move. They had 30 non-preoder copies and didn't have one left in. Fortunately, Wal-Mart had 5 copies, and I got one.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
