I currently have the Metroid Dread Special Edition preordered from Gamestop. That thing caught on fire yesterday and I was lucky to swipe one lol. How about you? I will definitely be preordering more, like Shin Megami Tensei V.

Metroid Dread
Pokemon Brilliant Diamond
Pokemon Legends: Arceus
Advance Wars Re-Boot Camp
Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin
Disgaea 6: Defiance of Destiny
Tales of Arise
Kena: Bridge of Spirits
Battlefield 2042
Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy
Dying Light 2: Stay Human
SMT V as soon as it's available, and the rest of the games I want are going to be on GPU.
I stopped with the collectors editions. And being all digital means I don’t preorder anymore. Now those Amiibo on the other hand...
I hate you so much. Not only do you endorse people preordering and overpaying for unreleased/unreviewed games, but....
You were lucky enough to lock in a preorder for the SE edition of Metroid Dread! I've been refreshing pages constantly since yesterday trying to buy this and the amiibos. 😭
@hardwenzen: Preorder shaming? Really?
Preordering my PS5 worked out quite well for me.
You'll also notice he preordered a special/ collectors edition. Those do tend to run out.
Save your mockery for those preordering digital versions.
Pre ordering the digital version is as much of a thing as pre ordering a boxed edition. People have been wired into doing it, and its not stopping anytime soon. I could understand a kid doing it cuz that's what Season 4 of the Warzone trailer told him/her to do so, but an adult? I don't get it. Pretty shallow tbh.
Obviously not talking about a system, i pre ordered one myself.

It's already hard to find lol. It keeps selling out.

Now you're just trying real hard to trigger me.

I don't get the harsh push back. It's convenient for some people, and nobody is living in the same circumstances. I pre-order physical games on Amazon so that they'll be shipped to me and arrive on the same day they'll come out, that's a huge convenience for someone like me who lives very far away from stores.
For me it's like setting up auto pay for my bills, I see a game I know I want, pre-order it and then it just arrives in my mail box the day it's released. If for some reason I change my mind before it ships, I can just cancel it.

If that's the case, then it makes sense. If you pre order games like 1 year in advance, then i don't see the point, tho.

Yeah they won't even have a release date for something that far ahead. And in some cases it's profitable to pre-order digital games IF they offer you Microsoft Rewards Points that go for things like GPU sub fees etc.
I've put money down for Metroid Dread (because it's a sure bet) and Advance Wars (because it's Advance Wars).
I'll also buy SMT5, and a few others, but they aren't up for ordering yet.
@Litchie: lol, I'm a sucker for Zelda things! I just preordered it for now as it's selling out.
Scalpers are already selling that Metrod game for over £100 on eBay.
Indeed.

You think SMT 5 will have a special edition?!
You're lucky. I've been trying to get the Dread C.E, but it's been the equivalent of searching for a new gpu. If I can't find one, I'll probably just pre-order the normal edition, because I'm going to play this game no matter what, and Nintendo never drops their prices anyway.
None so far. I might pre-order Battlefield 2042 (Ultimate Edition), Halo Infinite (whatever the Ultimate Edition will be, depending on if there’s anything special given on the MP side of things), Back4Blood (Ultimate Edition). I’d love to get into R6 Extraction but I didn’t care for Siege and I’m just not feeling it.
I did just pre-order Zombies Ate My Neighbors/Ghoul School but that wasn’t shown at E3.

Lol, do you follow CheapAssGamer on Twitter? He's good with posting it when it comes up.
No pre-ordering. I'll play Back4Blood, Forza Horizon 5, and Halo Infinite day 1 on Gamepass. I will also go purchase Metroid Dread day 1 but no need to pre-order it.
If I was at all into collectors editions, I may preorder, but I am not someone who preorders games. I rarely pay full price for a game though
I am already enjoying my Game Pass subscription that awaits many of these titles.
Gamepass. The ultimate form of preordering. I will buy a subscription before all the great games are released in 2022.
More like I am playing from the many games already available on it right now.
