I don't reserve my games anymore, since they'll always be in stock.

none. i never reserve games because its never going to happen that there will be such a shortage that i cant find a copy of a game close to release. i will reserve, say, if its a special edition, but that rarely happens

Never been unable to buy a game I wanted on release day from a store, so unless there is a great online pre-order bonus I don't plan to preorder any this year

Legendaryscmt

That's true but stores give many offers

I've preordered Madden with 10 dollars back, 5 dollars of free MP3's and launch day delivery free, I preordered Halo ODST with ten dollars back, 5 dollars of MP3's free and launch day delivery free, and Modern Warfare 2 with 10 dollars back, 5 bucks of the MP3's, and launch day delivery free.

Stores want your business for preorders and are very willing to make it worth your while

For preordering 3 games I get 30 dollars back and 15 dollars worth of songs and get each one on the doorstep launch day

Great to see. I wish more people would jump aboard the Amazon prime service. With all the deals they pump out, it's truly worth it.

I'll be reserving Dragon Age: Origins Collector's Edition and Mass Effect 2(most likely Collector's Edition) this Friday when I pick up my reserve copy of Madden 2010.:D Those are the only reserves I can afford. If I could reserve something else, it would be Borderlands.

EDIT: Actually, add Borderlands to that list. The Dragon Age delay let's me get enough money for both!:D

The only game I've ever reserved is Gears of War 2 and I odn't plan on doign the same for any other game. I always manage to get my hands on whatever game I want so it's not really necessary. I even managed to get GTA IV on release day. I had to go to three different stores but I got it. :lol:

I was planning on reserving Brutal Legend but after I saw that all you get is an in-game guitar I passed. When will they learn that people want REAL WORLD things to reserve games? If they offered a t-shirt or even a keychain I would have reserved it.

I pre-ordered the Collectors Edition of Batman: Arkham Asylum, because in GAME it's free to pre-order and it's the only way (and place) to get the Scarecrow Challange Maps, so i see it as getting an extra few hours from the game, im considering pre-ordering a few more games if they come with bonus items, because as i said it costs nothing to pre-order from GAME.

I have 3 EB's near me, the longest is like 20 minutes. So I ndon't reserve games cause it's likely atleast one will have it. Though if I were to reserve one I would reserve the Collectors Edition of Batman Arkham Asylum.

I don't reserve anymore. In fact I don't buy brand new games that came out day 1 in store anymore. I order online. I have to wait a couple days extra but I usually can get brand new games for 40 to 50 bucks that everyone else payed 65 for. So worth it.

The only game I did the midnight time was for GTA 4 at a shop near mine. I don't think I would ever do a midnight buying again. So from now on if i pre order I pick it up during following day

Dragon Age CE, Alpha Protocol

Probably wont Pre order anything else, there is no need to.

MW2 will ship millions of copies in the first month, everystore will have dozens in stock and never run out except maybe in launch week. still an insanely easy title to pick up for the Holidays.

I want the CE for Dragon Age so I have to pre order it, And Alpha Protocal might be one of those hidden gems that becomes harder to find, so im pre ordering it.

It's not about running out, games don't sell out anymore

It's about how much you can get for preordering

If you don't get anything extra then it's useless to preorder

I usually reserve early with about $10.00 down. Then, when the game comes out, I only have to come up with $50.00. :P. Anyhow, my reserved games are:

HALO ODST

Borderlands

Divinity 2

Dragon Age
