    Which Games Do You Have Pre-Ordered Digitally?

    It's really about the games themselves, not the DD platform, except for the fact that with digital, you usually cannot cancel a pre-order. So, that's why I'm curious, as it makes a statement about just how much trust you have in the game(s) you've pre-ordered ending being great. For my wife...
