My opinion?  Because mass adoption of this kind of preorder horseshit, only encourages every other company to do so.  People complain and gripe about the monetization of the industry, but completely disregard any steps they can take, to show these companies they disprove of the tactic.  Companies exist to make money, the consumer is the only thing that can signal to them they are going in a direction the community won't adopt.

I don't really mind pre-order bonuses or dlc, I pay when I want, and I don't have the energy to complain about these things. But you make a valid point so what the hell, I´ll join giving the signal and won't pre-order :) Stick it to the man!

Good on you, very good on you.  It's difficult to restrain ourselves from ordering something we want, but sometimes you have to look at the precedent that would be set.  We've seen a great deal of issues arise from this, with the lack of foresight people exhibit throughout the years, and I personally don't think it's done the industry or gamers any favors.

Plus, let's be honest, releasing the game 4 days early, seems like the dumbest pre-order bonus I've ever heard of.  I mean, that should be a newcomer to the Mt. Rushmore of idiotic ideas.
