^^^ why buy things at 120% the price when you can get them 5 years later for 20% to 40%

To actually support the providers of a product you adore with more money? Because you value their work a lot and try to consciously express that?
I timed buying VA-11 Hall-A intentionally on an occasion when it was not on sale for eg. I am planning on getting it for others too as I believe the game is a gem worthy of sharing.
Sure it was not a preorder (did that too, twice, regret the last occasion and never did so since), but I can imagine many of us with similar sentiment when it comes to preorders as well.

Same, except I can't play them yet because they won't start up for many of us. The more higher-end the machine the more likely that it won't work. One of the developers added me as a friend on Steam to see if they could figure it out. They didn't do extensive testing before launch because they didn't expect problems with the new engine.

I usually pre-order all of the major Nintendo titles. Outside of Nintendo, the only thing I've ever pre-ordered was Aliens: Colonial Marines Collector's Edition. Such a letdown....

Yes, Skyrim, Borderlands 2, Batman: Arkham Origins, Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, The Witcher 3, Alien: Isolation and probably more. Batman was a slight letdown, but still a solid game. Borderlands 2 and Skyrim are great games! Don't know about the rest yet.

I preordered a special steel case edition of Batman AC from amazon back in the day and I totally love this game. I preordered it, since there was actually the risk that it might run out of stock. Preordering digital content is imo rather pointless.

Well, I'm rather skeptical about the "saving money" part, seeing how fast games get significantly discounted nowadays, so I usually wait for some months after the release.

Yeah, but the games I pre-order, I want to play immediately. I'm also waiting for good sales on a dozen games I'm sure I'll enjoy, just not $60 enjoy. The ones I have pre-ordered have all been worth it to me. Though, Alien: Isolation will probably disappoint, I paid $20 for it and two other games, so it won't bother me as much.

Nope, never. And I don't think I ever will.
Why pre-order games when I can wait a few months for them to drop in price AND get some of the initial bugs and glitches fixed :)

Was thinking about pre-ordering AC Unity & Dying Light
Although I've heard a lot of bad news about both.

No. And I don't think I ever will, as it is ENTIRELY pointless to do so.

Yes. BioShock: Infinite and Resident Evil 6.
I was satisfied with both.
And if Outlast had pre-order on Steam then I also pre-ordered this one. I think it had a pre-order.

Bioshock Infinite... for the only reason that I calculated that if it turned out to be shit, the free XCOM:Enemy Unknown that came with it would make it worth it (and I thought of it as a Christmas present for myself)... it never came to that. :D
Since nothing else has gives such a good reward for pre-ordering (in fact most of them are shit) and on top of that I have 0 trust in most companies nowadays (I had at least SOME trust in the creators of Bioshock) I am unlikely to be dumb enough to pre-order any of the hype trains that are coming out now.

I didn't get the seasonpass for some reason, I was really pissed about that. I literally just got the promised game, I didn't get the clash in the clouds or the reskins or anything. I really don't know why I only got the game and none of the DLC.

If I recall correctly the Season Pass was not included in the pre-order itself. Pre-ordering did let you play a small browser puzzle game before the main game's release which gave you a code for a small rewards DLC (Industrial Revolution Rewards Pack) but the Season Pass was completely separate.

To be honest that's exactly what I did. I was like "look. If Bioshock infinite isn't that great, at least I get a good game included in the purchase AND the original Bioshock. So no worries. ...Plus... I GET HATS! HATS! HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!"

...and if so, did you like the outcome? The only game I ever pre-ordered was Abyss Odyssey (and I still didn't have time to try it), anything that ACE Team does is an insta-buy for me and I want to support them as a studio.
