i never pre-order mainly because i want to see the reviews first

"They will know heghan belongs to the helghast"

"England expects that everyman will do his duty"

"we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender"

I like preordering because you can treat it like a layway situation, makes the actual purchase when you bring it home seem like you're getting a deal!

Noes. It's always the same price at the end.

If you read my post a few above yours, you would have seen that there are rare occasions where pre-ordering saves you money

If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

Well, how often does that happen? The occasions are few and far between and I've never seen one of those.

OT: I'd preoder for the super special deals, though.

I preorder my games. I love gifts I get for doing it. The Harvest Moon gifts are always great. Little plushies of the animals rock.

Ask stefl1504 for a sig, even if you don't need one.

IIRC, didn't games used to cost SEVENTY dollars?
