Really I think it's just the 5$ off and 2 items. I mean really, you rather wait until after the game is released to pay an extra 5$ and get nothing? Are you retarded?
put it this way, those who preorder FAR CRY 2 was extremely dissapointed.

preorder = chance taker, you get a small discount for a risky trust of not knowing what to expect. but if you have the money go for it. i learned my lesson: don't buy based on hype, reviews, past prequel glory.

far cry 2
stronghold 2
medieval 2 total war
gta 4
nfs (newer ones)

so hopefully if you get dissapointed then you'll take this experience to make your future purchases based on demo,trials, and at friends house playing.

Not sure why you guys are moaning about idiots on the servers. You're obviously playing on rubbish servers with useless admins.

The ones I exclusively frequent are SpecialAttack [SpA] and FragMasters.co.uk

I had to choose a different server the other night because the usual ones were down. So I joined some random pub server, only to be called a "newfag". I wouldn't mind being called that if I was a new player, but I've been playing TF2 for 2 years, pretty much every day and on this particular occassion I was 20 points ahead of the 2nd place player.

Noobs.

It's not a risk. Either you're going to buy it or you're not. If you're going to buy it on the day of release and want to ensure that there is a copy in-store so that you can walk in and pick it up, it's a great tool. It helps companies with their logistics as to where to send product.

So no, it's not a bad thing. If you're the kind of person who waits for reviews then why on earth would you pre-order it?
