I'll be pre-ordering Battlefield 3, and if DMC 5 comes with some cool content I'll pre-order it as well because DMC has always been my favorite franchise.

Talldude80

why pre order games?

I only pre order games that look promising. But reason i pre order is because retailer like to tack on $10-$20 dollar in credit (mostly amazon). The way i see it is even if i end up disliking the game most games old their vaule on ebay first -two weeks 50+ used on ebay while 2-4+ weeks holds 40+ bucks. if it's a AAA game it will hold 40+ easy for 2-3 months (unless the game to a total flop). so if you look at it it can end up cost same as a rent.

Mass Effect 3
Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Battlefield 3
Batman: Arkham City
Forza Motorsport 4

Skyrim and Battlefield 3. Nothing else is worth paying 60 dollars for.

Aural_Assault

Hang on, $60USD is the price of a new game, yet, even though the exchange rate is the same, a new game in Australia costs $99AUD...
Rigged much? Some games like ME3, the next CoD game and Skyrim will probably cost around $120AUD.

Battlefield 3, Brink, Crysis 2, L.A Noire.

I would have said True Crime : Hong Kong, but as it has been cancelled - It's pointless.

Brink, Mass Effect 3, and maybe Rage (that depends on if they give anything away for free, because I'm sure the store won't be sold out of it), and also Uncharted 3 and Infamous 2 for my PS3.

Usually it's only my top games I will preorder, and Brink has been up there for over a year now. I'm so excited it is so close!

I never preorder, since I buy games when they are priced 10-20£, saves a lot of money. :)

But then you have to wait minimum a year longer than everyone else.. I would rather pay the money for games I want. But then again I don't know what your income is like compared to mine :P

Actually it doesn't take more than three months in the vast majority of games, especially if you buy online

Other than maybe 2 games a year I ussually wait to a really good sale. Even the 2 games I get brand new at launch I find the best deal. Ihavenot paid the full 60 for a game in years unless maybe I get like 10 bucks store credit or something.

I haven't pre-ordered a game in a longtime, but if Mass Effect 3 comes out with some kinda bonus for pre-order then I'll do it.

Is there really any reason to pre-order an Xbox360 game?

The only thing I can see worth pre-ordering nowadays is maybe a Nintendo gaming system. Everything else is pretty much guaranteed to have plenty of copies available wherever.

If this thread is about games I feel are 'must-have' this year, then my sole reply would be SKYRIM.

For most games it takes less than year. And my income isn't high, true (Being a jobless student :p). :|

Already Preordered and purchased Dragon Quest VI.

Going to preorder Skrim for sure.

Other than that I may just purchase any other games upon release.
