With GTAIV coming up and a lot of people reserving it, I decided to, and have only pre-ordered one other game besides it (Sonic and the Secret Rings) (ugh :P) and was wondering how many games you guys have pre-ordered before and which ones :)

i preorder almost all my games just because theres no negatives to doing so. you dont pay extra and youre guaranteed a copy on release day. i dont see why more people dont do it

I havent preordered anything since the 90's. That's when I was young enough to fall for the ol' "Limited Supply" line. It seems like the only thing thats hard to find sometimes is the nintendo consoles.

i know they will have enough GTAIV copies, but usually when you pre-order a game you get a free little knick knack which is always pretty cool i got a little rockstar keychain for pre-ordering mine so i was like "cool"

Loads of games - I usually have atleast 2 on preorder at any one time. How many have I preordered in my lifetime? Definitely the 11+ category, but probably closer to 50 - from signing a list in a store for Doom 2, through to GTAIV this month.

BUT I think UK pre-ordering is different to US pre-ordering. When I pre-order games I don't pay anything until the game is sent to me. There is no cost to preordering, and the games arrive on launch day by post. I don't have to go to the store, and I don't have to have paid for it in full weeks or months before. The US system just seems weird to me - why would you pay for something weeks ahead of getting it?

Only people who go to GameStop pre-order. Preordering is pretty stupid if you ask me. I go to my local electrionics retailer thats been around longer than GameStop. There is no such thing as pre-ordering there. I get my game regardless of time on release day. I think I only preordered 2 games in my entire life. I never even pre ordered big name titles like the Halo series.

My idea of "pre-ordering" is to buy the game on Play.com, like with GTA 4. Therefore, the whole transaction is effectively done and I will have the game on release day, perhaps even before. I wouldn't preorder a game physically in a game store, because then I would still have to go and get it, and you might as well not bother.

In my life, two. Halo 2 and Halo 3. And, those pre-orders were really pointless.

I pre-ordered Mass Effect and Bioshock that's it.

Usually I just buy games at Wal-Mart or on Amazon after they come out.

I never pre-order a game because I am patient and I can just wait a week and get the game from the shelf.
