Re: I don't understand pre-orders. Do you preorder?

I guess what I'm really asking is does anyone here pre-order... and WHY?
Do you get anything out of it?

Well, the System Shock remake Kickstarter aside, which I also
participated in with a minimal $25 I think, the only other game I can
remember preordering is Borderlands 2. I played the crap out of the
original Borderlands and wanted more and there was a prerelease sale
too. And I then played the crap out of Borderlands 2. And there was a
lot to play, probably too much since they cut down on characters and
playthroughs in Borderlands 3.

My other near addiction to a franchise has been GTA since Vice City but
I didn't preorder any of the titles. Unless you count buying the game
and the console to play on before the PC release and then buying the PC
release as well. But I didn't preorder either version.
