Yeah, preordering digital games sounded stupid to me from the beginning. The only reasons I could think of was:

1: If you have cash when the preorder is released, you can order it then and not risk being out of money when the game releases.
2: if the game installs automatically when it becomes available at midnight, it will be ready to play when you wake up the same morning.


Was about to post the same thing. Yes, these are the two most logical explanations. It's not that hard to figure it out, so I really don't get all the "who the fuck pre-orders digital games" posts. I don't think it's stupid, though I've never done it and possible never will.

@everyone who doesn't get it. Say you have some cash in May but know that if you don't spend it pre-ordering the game, you may end up spending it on a night out with friends. So, by paying for it in advance you know you'll definitely get it.
