| Which games are you guys waiting for via pre-order? I've pre-ordered God of War: Ascension and BioShock: Infinite, both coming in March. |

If you pre-order a game, sometimes you'll get a cool little figure or a poster or a t-shirt I like getting free stuff that I can put on a shelf or on a wall or stuff that I can wear

| Nothing but Hyrule Historia limited edition. It is a Zelda art book. I hope that I get a copy. Looks awesome. |

| @Gett, 80% chance SongBird edition will not sell, and get reduced. Just like the RE6, Duke Nukem, and Tron collectors edition. They are just TOO expensive. |

| The only company I trust enough to buy products from them before seeing how good they are would be Bethesda. Mainly The Elder Scrolls series. And since no new games are going to be released for a long while (TES online doesn't count.) I don't plan to pre order anything for a long time. |

I'd only ever pre-order a CD Projekt game, or perhaps a Rockstar game.

| I usually never pre-order games unless I'm a fan of the franchise or I know the game's going to be good. In my opinion both games look great and I enjoyed both the God of War and BioShock franchises. |

@Imp I do regret not pre-ordering NBA 2k13.
It just gave those who pre-ordered little stuff like the dunk contest, but for a die-hard basketball fan like me, it'd be worth putting down five dollars.

I dont really pre-order. Its more than likely they are still in stores anyway, where i live there is no fear of them running out of copies. It only happened with GTA IV and Halo Reach.

| I never pre-order because I always do video and review research before I buy games. |

| Their was a guy on YouTube who used to work in GameStop. He told all the lies about GameStop and stuff. And he said Dead Island was not a big seller. He said 5 people pre-ordered. How many copies did they get? Only 5. So.. That is just certain GameStops though. The only game I pre-ordered was NSMB2 for 3DS. In GAME in the UK you got a really cool, officail Nintendo, gold coloured coin case. That game has not gone down in price. And hey, I enjoy my Mario games. It was like getting it for free. Hmm. |
