Incentives~ Otherwise I just wait til the day, or pre-order it if it's looking like the game has high demand and might be hard to get the day it comes out.

Bonuses, or incentives as the poll says. If it's not a big name title and it doesn't have anything like that, I usually just wait until launch.

The question I ask myself is: Is it MvC 3?

I don't preorder anything at all unless it's through Amazon, and even then, it's rare.

LOL. Pressure from retail employees. Someone actually picked that? Oh wow. xD
I've never pre-ordered a game before. However, if I were to do so, it'd probably be because of the incentives.

I usually only get Major Releases, plus i'm a 360 gamer, I sold all of my wii stuff except for Smash Bros Brawl, Melee, Luigi's Mansion, Kirby Air Ride.

The only wii game i'm planning on getting is Pikmin 3 or Legend of Zelda, the only DS game is Pokemon: Black & White.


Nintendo made so many spin-offs, and cancelled some good series that should of had an installment (Luigi' Mansion, Super Mario Sunshine, Kirby Air Ride) that I had to stop, plus the wii doesn't support most upcoming FPS titles (Bulletstorm, Gears of War 3, Homefront)

Once I was held at gunpoint by a Gamestop employee. He forced me to preorder some movie license game. I got a free sticker for it.

So yeah, pressure from retail employees.

"What factor has the greatest impact on your decision to pre-order a game?" I usually buy games that i'm lookin forward to, & if i've seen some gameplay trailers to it then i might pre-order it.

I usually don't pre-order games, no matter how high the demand is and whether it's a game or a new console. For me, I wait until the price gets lower.

I feel like pre-ordering games and dlc are ridiculous. Why should I pay an extra 5+ bucks for content that is ALREADY on the disc. I kinda irks me. :I
