Do you preorder video games?

Do you preorder video games? I have not preorder a video game in a very long time. I will only do it if I get something really special in addition to the game.

I don't tend to, because I don't tend to buy most games when they come out.....I like to try and pay a little less for them.

I do but that is because it is my way of saving up for something I want. Nearly all my money goes into the family, with exception of $40 with every pay check. That 4o needs to stretch two weeks so I will put ten or twenty down on a game and use the rest for other crap like music, movies, blank DVDs, beer, and what ever.
Right Now I have 360 DDR Universe package paid for and $5 down on Mass Effect. I also traded in some old games that I wont play again so I also own about $40 in store credit at EB, I might put in a pre-order for SSX Blur for the Wii with that credit.

I only preorder games if they are giving something free with them for doing so.

Yeah, the last games I preordered were BLACK for a demo of the game, Destroy All Humans for a classic movie on DVD, and The Punisher for a free t-shirt and computer demo of the game.

I pre-order if: It's a game I really, really, really want AND it comes with something neat AND I have a coupon/discount/gift card.

I have seen quite a few of the games I get go on sale at some stores the week they release, or the week afterwards. I would rather save that money myself. Yeah, I know, I am cheap. lol
