orcishgamer: I am kind of ashamed I got taken so bad on that one. I usually am a better pick when I actually pre-order. In my defense Fable 3 turned out to be as I expected, with a healthy dose of "way better co-op than I'd ever hoped for" thrown in. Castlevania: Lords of Shadow turned out to be my game of the year.
Navagon: I've avoided pre-ordering games for a while now. Sure, occasionally there's a deal that makes me change my mind. But not often, that's for sure. I've got enough of a backlog to not need to concern myself with pre-orders.
Well, if you have Prime and pre-order from Amazon you can actually stack up some pretty healthy discounts, like 20 dollar credits for each pre-order. That's kind of why I did that since I knew I'd most likely be shelling out 60 bucks for each one I figured why not stack up 50 bucks (one only had 10 bucks credit instead of 20) credit and buy something cool with it (which turned out to be my Kinect, that I paid 50 bucks for, lol)?
