Why would anyone in their right mind pre-order a digital game? I thought the point of pre-ordering is to reserve a copy of a game so you'd be one of the first to receive it - even when there's low stock... If the game is digital, then there's no shortage of stock. |
If the game in question benefits from the Pre-Load program it's a plus since you can start playing right at mid-night and not wait for countless hours until your download is complete. I think TLOU:R will already benefit from the Pre-Load program, not sure.
Also digital pre-ordering is great when it has exclusive content attached to it. AND games available for pre-order will start downloading at mid-night while if it's not on pre-order you'll have to wait until the game it's available in the store, depending if you live in US/EU (Tuesday/Thursday, during the day). Not sure if it applies for every game, but in my experience with dark souls 2 it processed this way.
