Pre-Ordering Games, or: How The Bad Practices of the Gaming Industry Are Winning
hgpucom:
Well I pre-ordered Halo 4 Limited Edition (just because I was a fan boy) but I haven't pre-ordered another game since ODST But it was never for the bonus content. I reserve my copies so I can get them right away and enjoy playing them as soon as they come out rather than having me to be scared the stores might run out of copies (which they never really do these days). Halo 4, for example, released multiple "bonus content" depending on which places you pre-ordered it from (Walmart, Amazon, Best buy, and Gamestop, etc) but you could eventually rank up to unlock these contents so it always seemed pointless for me "unless you got the cool random stuff that came in the white box of the limited edition for only an added price of $40.00 more!"<-- *sarcastic*

So many people ranting on the Steam forums about boycotting Gearbox, Steam, and Sega.
