Did you ever pre-order a game because of the bonus?

now alot of games offer pre-order bonus's to obviously try and help sales. whether its a special gun, or armor, maps, book, cd, ect

has any pre-order bonus ever made you pre-order a game just to get it?

Wasn't planning on it, but I pre-ordered The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker after I heard that you'd get a free port of Ocarina of Time (and its never-before-seen 2nd quest) for doing so.

When I preordered the original Super Mario Galaxy a long time ago, I got a collectible coin and a little certificate that came with it. :D

I only preorder games when there is a giftcard involved.

Only if it's an in-game bonus. All that extra junk outside of the game is useless to me - including the "Bonus Content" DVD's you sometimes get. Give me an in-game advantage or cut my price I say.

Yeah, I have. I'm a sucker for soundtracks and artbooks, so I've pre-ordered games to get those goodies. I'll also pre-order games if gift credit is attached to the order.

Is it nuts that I preordered the Big Boss Bundle PSP for Metal Gear and the camo psp? I noticed that most of the time its the DS that I play games on and I guess I was craving something a little more advanced, so I went out the day after it was announced and preordered it. It was almost an impulse buy.

I always preorder, no reason not to, if I'm short on money I will always buy the games with the SE or bonus stuff first though.

pre-order bonuses decide which place I'm going to pre-order from, not make me want to pre-order the game.

I almost bought Splinter Cell Conviction Collectors Edition but I didn't want a action figure really, so I desided to go with normal one.

This has to be the only time I pre-ordered for a bonus. I have the bonus disc still. I never played it, though. But, it was great to have.

i pre-ordered ufc 2010 for the extra fighters... its the only game i've ever done that for. i've "pre-ordered" games online before, but never because of extra content just because i wanted the game day 1!
