There's only one reason why ACIII has so many preorders so early. That reason is you get a steelbook case right now for putting down $5. People are paying $5 for the steelbook, not because they care about preordering the game. People were even paying $20+ for it on Ebay because they're too stupid to go to their local Gamestop or Bestbuy and buy it for $5.
