Preorder bonuses give the incentive to do it but I haven't seen a good bonus in years. Getting games weeks later during a sale is my mindset nowadays

I think the last good preorder bonus was all those extra characters for Tekken Tag 2

shyt kinda made sense when there was a chance shyt would be 'sold out' on day 1. that's rarely an issue now though
Remember when max Payne 3 "sold out" on steam last year?

People were on top of that long ass download :mad:

After GTA V I will never preorder a game again. Here's why. I go to the midnight launch thinking only people with preorder receipts would get in the store first. Come to find out everyone was in the same line most of the people just showed up without preorders and everyone waited the same time and got the same damm shyt. Nothing extra to go with my game or even a second line for preorders to get in the store first. And on top of that, I waited over an hour in that line because these fukkers without preorders had to pay and ring up their receipts and shyt. fukking waste of my time thinking there was an advantage to that shyt.

:camby: Never again.
Pre-ordered and all I got was a damn blimp :sadcam:

Pre ordering is like paying for a blind date before seeing the girl, bad example but its all i could think of. Its by far one of the stupidest thing people do. Never done it and never will do it

I don't remember that, but I know there's been situations where steam ran out of 'keys' or whatever

Yeah it was one of those crazy sales last year when it dropped to like $5

Steam ran out of keys and then Rockstar's servers got hammered to the point in where people were stuck because they couldn't play after that long download. The whole forum went apeshyt

I pre-ordered XCOM Enemy Unknown cause the demo was the shyt and I wanted to pre-load it so I could play at midnight when it officially dropped. That's about the only time I'll pre-order something. PC Brehs stay winning.
