Heh, I spent 110 euro on Viva Pinata: TiP and paying off Gears 2 on Wednesday. I'll probably pay off about 40 euro of Fable II soon and just spend the rest on the release date.

Saints Row 2 is a bad preorder. It looks pretty bad to me in the gameplay videos.

But congrats on the Gears of War 2 and Left 4 Dead. Those should be great

yeah...but some people prefer to get the money(credit/debit card) exchange over with, so that when they have to pick it up (maybe during a big line the day of release) they can just show them a reciept and leave with the game...

I dont get it... why do people invest in something that hat has the possibility to flop.

It's better to wait untill the game is realesed and get a feel for reviews, because even if u dont preorder 9 times out of 10 u can just walk into a store and get it on day-1.

Put in a pre-order for Fable 2 yesterday at Amazon. Seriously considering going ahead and putting it in for Fallout 3 as well but not really sure yet.

I only put $10 down when I pre-order ... I don't trust EB Games. :P It's not much different than just paying the balance when it actually releases.

I preordered BIA Hell's Highway. Only spent 45 bucks on it though with a giftcard. I'm still deciding whether or not to buy Gears 2 or COD WaW. I really don't know.

He's basically admitting he stole it because it leaked.

The thing is, people have already played parts of GEoW2 and L4D and have all said how amazing it is. Chances of a flop is slim.

if you payed $190, you didnt pre-order. You just bought the games in advance. When i "pre-ordered" a game once, i put down like $5 towards the game. then they take the other $45 or whatever when u pick the game up. but $190? thats a lot of $. I thought you had bought a console or something.......

and btw, i NEVER pre-order games anymore. I RENT the first, cuz so many games LOOK cool, but they end up being boring. GTA IV is my prime example. my roomate and i bought it new $60, but yeah we never really play it, the game just isnt that great.... definately WAY OVER rated.

What's the point of even preordering? If Gamestop or whatever doesn't have enough copies for some reason (which usually isn't the case) then just go to Target/Walmart/etc. I can understand if you live in the middle of nowhere and there's only one store that has videogames within 100 miles, but otherwise I don't see why its necessary.

Some games, however, like Far Cry 2 for example, come with free additional content when you pre-order. I think that's worth it.

I don't get it.Why don't you guys just go into the store on the release day and pick up the game.I wish I could do that.I have to order all games online as there are no gaming stores in my country.And also even if they do have some games in other stores,they arrive like one month after the release,maybe even more.MGS4 isn't in any shop.GTA was available in some shops in August.
