Do you ever pre-order games?

Do you ever pre-order games? And how often do you do so?

I haven't ever pre-ordered a game. I did reserve my 3DS though, I wanted it as soon as possible. I think I will start pre-ordering games that I think will sell out from now on though. Recently I've been trying to find a copy of Smash Bros. 4 3DS, and only just found one last night. I don't want to have that happen again when I have specific money set aside for a game and have to wait weeks for it.

I actually haven't pre-ordered any games yet. I usually just wait for the release date tbh.

The only game I had some trouble in getting past its release date was NSMB Wii when it arrived during the holiday season. It actually took me about two weeks to finally get my hands on a copy. o.o

Yea, usually if I think that the game is going to be hard to get a hold of (like Pokemon in the area I live in is super popular) is when I usually decide to pre-order the game. I pre-ordered Pokemon X, Pokemon Y & Xenoblade Chronicles since it was a Gamestop exclusive. :3

But some times I don't pre-order games at all; like with the Zelda titles, & other known series I don't pre-order since it's usually easy for me to get a hold of.

I very rarely pre-order games, though the bonuses are usually enticing. I only remember pre-ordering a couple of games. They're usually when I think they are going to be sold out quickly. I probably will pre-order Super Smash Brothers for Wii U just in case.

It's rare, but every now and then I do make a pre-order, transportation is generally my reason for not doing so.

Only if it's something I know I really want. The only game I've pre-ordered recently is Civilization: Beyond Earth.
