Edited poll to be less biased, I'd rather have you guys post your opinions on the matter.

i'm assuming op is pissed about pre-order bonuses that you can only get from pre-orders

Pre-ordering helps fund games. Also TB is an overly cynical starfish. He just goes with a "screw the system" attitude and because he has an accent, people eat it up. Of course don't pre-order a game you don't expect will be good, and of course there are incentives for pre-ordering digital downloads, the developer wants more money to work with, so they try to persuade you to pre-order the game with a discount or bonus.

I've grown extremely tired of seeing this video. Every forum I go on has at least one topic involving this stuff. If someone wants to pre-order a game, or make a topic related to a game being up for pre-order, they shouldn't have to see this link thrown in their face. This wasn't a major concern to anyone until TB made that video. If someone wants to pre-order a game, then they want to and shouldn't have a pile of Total Biscuit fantards stuffting this link all over the place.
