None. Pre-ordering doesn't make any sense unless there's some super special thing coming with it, which, so far, i have never seen.

L4D2... because pre ordering is cheaper. There you go, that's super special for me.
 
Unless there is a discount, or I live in a place where you can't get games easily, Id rather keep my money, than give it up before a game is even released.
 
Nothing. Will pick up Dragon Age tomorrow in-store after work though, or maybe on my lunch break if I go out.

If I really want it, there's always plenty of copies in store. Fry's or Microcenter often have a $10 off on the launch week anyway.

Other than that, usually better to wait a few days make sure there's no game-breaking issues or crazy DRM/securom crap.
 
Dragon Age - PC ($10 GC with preorder)
Modern Warfare 2 - PC ($20 GC with preorder)

I usually don't preorder, but these came with gift certificates.
 
Pre-Ordered MW2 on Amazon sense they are giving a $20 credit to your next video game purchase. Plus free release-day delivery with a trial month of Amazon Prime. Oh, and no tax, naturally.
Bwhahaha, screw your local stores!

Pre-loading makes it worth it for me. Means I actually get to play the game on launch day, instead of waiting for it to download or shipments to make it into my local retailers.
 
Crap this year I totally caved because so many games are coming out I want.

Preorders:
Aion
Borderlands
COD: Modern Warfare 2
Dragon Age: Origins
Left 4 Dead 2
Mass Effect 2

Unfortunately Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3 are the only PC games im looking forward to... and that's a long view. Starcraft 2 won't come out for another 6 months to a year and Diablo 3... I hope it comes out before 2012 :(

It's going to take so long for Diablo 3 to come out that by then Intel GMA will be able to run it at max settings.

SC 2 ... it's like a girlfriend that just won't put out and makes you keep waiting.
 
L4D2 vis Steam
CoD:MW2 for PC via GameStop (traded my last 360 games in otherwise I wouldn't have bought from them)

GameStop actually has a release date listed for SC2 as 6/21/10 and Diablo 3 as 12/31/10. Albeit, the last time they had release days for Diablo 2, it was pushed back for a total of a year and a half.
 
I have never pre-ordered games before. I just go in and buy them when they either get released or when I think of buying them. Never had a need to pre-order.
 
Dragon Age, save a couple bucks. Plus I have been having a devil of a time actually finding games in stock.
 
Borderlands PC ($33.75)
Dragon Age: Origins PC ($37)

Only because I was getting them at less than retail prices. I don't generally pre-order full priced games. Still undecided on L4D2.

ya, except for steams bad habit of not unlocking a game till like 12pm while you could go to alot of retailers and get the game first thing in the morning, install and already be playing.
 
I never preorder games. I can always find copies of the games on release day and I've never received anything super awesome for my trouble just for preordering the game. So as a result I do not bother with them anymore.
 
Nothing lately is giving anything worth something to pre-order. I only preorder stuff with an unlock code or extra of some sort so I can sell it and make my actual cost of the game cheaper.
 
mw2 and l4d2, already beat the l4d2 demo really like how they changed the gameplay so much. can't stand the ui though, doesn't seem to scale down when I raise my resolution
 
Dragon Age Origins...comes out today but still pre-ordered
Mass Effect 2, got it for $37! :D
Assassins Creed 2
