The only things I pre-ordered so far were InFamous, and Reaper of Souls.
I generally only pre-order when there are bonuses. So I may pre-order Dragon Age if they offer a Signature edition with free stuff for pre-ordering like they did with DA2.
Not really interested in much else this year. Maybe the Order and Arkham Knight.
armikrog. broken age (part 2) ithaka of the clouds/council of the crows ginga force -wonder price- pillars of eternity torment: tides of numenera (2015) wasteland 2
eventually I'll be preordering Bayonetta 2, The Evil Within, and Gamecenter Love plus Pengo
Not always. For instance best buy if you have GC unlocked (15 dollars a year) you get like 20% off new games plus with BB rewards another 10 dollar gift card which basically brings the price down to 38 dollars for a new game on release day, plus some offer in game bonus's as well.
With that said, Since I'm all digital, I don't pre-order games, I will when it allows for install prior to the release date
bonuses. I got my name in the credits of Broken Age. I will also have a physical edition not made available to the public.
I will have a physical version of Armikrog.
Often times the games I like are typically one print runs and sell out forcing it to an OOP status. An example of this is when I bought muchi muchi pork/pink sweets bundle for $90 in 2011 which sold out in a couple months. The price sky rocketed for used copies to $140 until the release of a platinum hits which is also OOP now and heading in the same direction. Also... with many CAVE releases, you get first print run DLC including full game modes (essentially doubling, quadrupling, and tripling the game length) only included with pre-orders. People who get those codes and don't use 'em usually sell 'em for around $60-70 (for just the code... not the game).
Kyle, when you preorder, you're only agreeing to pay money for a game some assholes in California haven't even finished working on yet. You know what you get when you preorder...? A big dick in your mouth.

Aaahh.. no. Most people preorder for a few reasons.
1. Gaurantee day one purchase. If it's a popular title, some places can sell out quickly. A pre-order guarantees you'll have your copy on the day it's released.
2. Preorder bonuses. Some of the preorder bonus are swag or in game content. Many gamers are collectors of these types of swag.
3. Make a profit on Ebay. At least with the collectors edition. I see a lot of people putting collector edition games with hard to find items up on Ebay to sell for 25-50% profit.
Preorders have nothing to do with dicks. Also, you can cancel your preorder and get your money back. There's no penalty for preordering a game.

I've gone digital, and I've noticed an alarming trend where you can't preorder things like Titanfall or Ground Zeroes. So unless this trend changes, I won't be preordering much at all anymore. I used to to get bonus DLC etc. . But I can do without that stuff if it means I won't have to go get up-selled by a Gamestop employee who only possesses a fraction of the knowledge I do about video games. I haven't purchased a retail copy since Beyond: Two Souls, and it's my goal to never do so again.

I figured the South Park following would be bigger on this board.

Also, despite people not realizing I'm referencing South Park, preordering does have its drawbacks -- if you preorder something and you don't end up wanting it, you then have to go back to the place where you preordered, which now equates to two trips to a store for the purpose of not purchasing something, when you can wait until release day, go to Best Buy -- sacrificing the burst-rifle that's only effective for the first hour of the game -- and buy the game off the shelf.
