I have pre-ordered 5 games in my life, 3 of them have been released, 2 have not been released yet:

FInal Fantasy XIII (PS3)

NHL 13 (PS3)

Dead Or Alive 5 (PS3)

Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster (PS3)

Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes (PS4)

Only one! Shin Megami Tensie IV! I got an artbook with half a strategy guide and a music CD! I'm never going to pre-order again though.

I think I pre-ordered Call of Duty 5. I don't remember anything else really.

I rarely do this anymore, this past year I only pre-order one game. "Ni No Kuni" to get the Wizard Edition with all those goodies and because I really wanted to support that title. Unless there is some incentive I am content to work on backlog and wait months on games.

Isn't Ground Zeroes DD only for PS4 and Xbone? Why are you pre-ordering it?

Edit: Nevermind

I don't pre-order anymore unless there is some bonus involved but in my time I did pre-order:

Metroid Other M
Pokemon Heart Gold
Skyrim

A little hard to count the number at this point. I've pre-ordered most games since 2006. My very first pre-order was The Legend of Zelda Wind Waker

Upcoming games:

Bravely Default Collectors Edition (3ds)
Conception 2 (3ds)

Past Games:

Super Mario 3d World, New Super Mario Bros U (wiiU)
Super Mario Galaxy, Galaxy 2 (wii)
Super Smash Brothers (wii)
Tales of Xillia (Ps3)
MGS IV (Ps3)
Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, Link Between Worlds, Twilight Princess, Wind Waker, Ocarina of Time 3d (Various)
Pokemon XY (3ds)
Animal Crossing New Leaf (3ds)
Kid Icarus: Uprising (3ds)
Cod: MW2 (PC)
Starcraft 2: Wol, Hots (PC)

and the list goes on... 70% of the games on consoles I pre-order cause I love the bonuses and 5% of the games on PC I pre-order cause steam gives u a discount

I pre-ordered Zelda LBW and SM3DW at 930pm and picked them up at midnight--but that was because I didn't want to wait in line with all of those Xbox One assholes (and I STILL won an Xbox One T-Shirt. In your face!)

Aside from that?
-Arkham Origins (Wii U) but only because I pre-ordered Lego City Undercover and they didn't even have it on day one. I had to get it from Wal-Mart so I used my $5 on Batman.
-Lego City Undercover
-Batman Arkham City (Xbox 360)
-Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker (Gamecube) for the free copy of Ocarina of Time!
-Wii U console because them things would be sold out for YEARS if I didn't pre-order
-Cod BlOps 2 (Wii U)
-NSMBU (Wii U)
-Gears of War 3 Collector's Ed (360)
-Some WWE game with free Stone Cold DLC

That's all I can remember.

I used to preorder all the time as a kid, and even more so during the few years I worked at a game shop (though that was always just because preorders helped out us employees). Now I rarely buy games at launch anymore, and almost never from a brick and mortar. Plus it's not like I ever want a game that will be in such high demand that I might not get a copy, especially when I don't tend to care about getting it the exact second it comes out.

This is making me miss being a kid and preordering stuff and being so excited that I had to get it immediately. Growing up can be lame. I remember having the original Animal Crossing preordered for months and rushing to the store to pick it up on launch day only to have them tell me it wasn't coming in until the next day. I felt like there was no justice in the world.

I've pre-ordered many. Some of the last ones I remember were Tearaway, The Last of Us and GTA V. Games I know that I 100% will want to play, regardless any critics.
