TDIRunner | 2,767 Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 I never pre-order anything unless I'm getting some kind of discount or extra perk for doing so. The only exception is for things that I believe will be truly difficult to get otherwise. So outside of a hand full or LRG games, I don't have any plans to pre-order anything at the moment. When Amazon offered 20% off, I pre-ordered pretty much everything. It's funny to think I played Breath of the Wild on launch day for $48 when it was still selling for $60 new several years after release. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Atari collection is a limited edition - which means what? Well, they might make so many of them in a year it will be half off, or they might make so few of them it will way more expensive in the second-hand market, who knows... but, I don't feel bad supporting Atari and hope they are able to somehow make a comeback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a3quit4s | 4,124 Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 I preordered GoW: Ragnarok from Sony Direct because they had a special edition available and I really enjoyed the previous title. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There really are no pros to preorders. Sometimes you get some DLC or maybe some physical thing, something small and cheap. The big con is something like you get an unfinished game that needs a year worth of patches to be playable. See Cyberpunk 2077 (although I got it at launch on Xbox Series X and never had any problems). I trust that GoW will be excellent upon launch so I took a chance on a special edition. Anything not Nintendo will probably also get a price drop not even a month after launch as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkTone | 987 Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Ah ok. So whats the difference between pre ordering, and buying it on day 1? Besides the dlc and trinkets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a3quit4s | 4,124 Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 One pro for the new modern warfare 2 is you get to play the campaign one week early which I guess is neat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides the dlc and trinkets. You do get to support the developers. Some people might laugh at that, but the numbers can make a difference between a sequel and nothing. For instance, Demon's Souls was released by Atlus originally. It was their biggest seller in history, and paved the way for Dark Souls. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 4,949 Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 I don't really anymore, except in the odd case of stuff that gets a short and cut run. LRG basically... few and far between now given history. And then Analogue as I'm group B for the Pocket and a box of accessories for it. LRG I'm in the long haul now for Valis Collection 2 which was last month I guess, and then Avenging Spirit Gameboy with the CIB game with the glow in the dark cart, manual, and full JP game with english popped on so it's not cut short/censored like the old US original.

DarkTone | 987 Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 I find it funny if something is limited, no matter what it is, people will scratch and claw for it. Like, if there was a barbie game on the Snes that never came out, but one cart survived, collectors would be proud to own it (no offence to barbie fans). Back on track. I looked up some of the worst pre order bonus from games and BOY, I'm still laughing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeatherRebel5150 | 1,056 Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Im not one who preorders anything really, though I don’t consider stuff from Limited Print Companies a preorder really. But whatever you (plural) do don’t do your preorders from Gamestop in store. There are/is SO much going wrong in their preorder system since they switch they’re logistics system around it’s not even funny. People have been getting their preorders days/weeks late or just not at all. Not just with some indie games that only get a handful of preorders, but with the “big ones” as well, like 2K games 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
