Post by: Thyme on October 19, 2011, 03:53:23 PM
Not just right now, but you know, ever. And did you get something in bonus?

totes stole this from tec's post in the gamestop thread hocuspocus;

I had Pokémon Stadium preordered. I had my mom go because I had school lol. 5thgrade;
I preordered Wind Waker and got Master Quest from this.
I preordered Rock Band 3 and was supposed to get free songs but got nothing because Gamestop.
I preordered Gran Turismo 5 CE and was supposed to get bonus cars but got nothing because Gamestop.

Every single Zelda game and both Mario Galaxies.  One of the Zelda games came with a master quest game or something. I forget.   saddood;

lol jesus

i honestly don't see the need for preordering (unless it's for bonuses), i've never had an issue with a game being sold out even on release day befuddlement

The only ones I remember are Pokemon Silver which came with a game guide and 3 pokemon pins in little pokeball cases. Fallout 3 which came with a soundtrack. And Skyrim which is coming with a premium map. But I know there's been a lot of other ones in past, though I can't recall which ones they are.

Oh and I think I did pre-oder Wind Waker too.

I think just Zelda games, I feel like there were a few PC games too but I can't think of what they were...

Brawl
Wind Waker, which came with Master Quest
Pokemon Colosseum, which came with a disk that gives you Jirachi in Ruby/Sapphire
Red Dead Redemption, which came with golden guns via Amazon
I think maybe Pokemon Emerald, for some reason

That's probably it.

Not a lot, because I only do if I know the game will be good and if the bonus is good.

Wind Waker you got a fucking free Master Quest game and I never played OoT before so I jumped on that shit.

Brawl I might have preordered but I forget. I either got it first day or I preordered it.

The most important preorder in my life has been Pokemon Emerald. With the preorder you got access to the SPECIAL EMERALD VIP FORUMS to talk about the game before it got released. This is important because I found out about Nsider, and from Nsider many other sites, from those forums. So basically, Pokemon Emerald is the reason I use the internet a lot.

I forgot about that Windwaker deal. I did that. Along with the gba remake of SMB3.

the only game I outright preordered was Skyward Sword.

I have yet to see a preorder that was as good as the Wind Waker one.

One that comes close (although not a preorder) is that Toys R Us did this thing where if you buy Super Mario Galaxy on the release date then you get a $25 gift card.
