    Game preorders

    I'm thinking about preordering a game for the first time.

    Just how close to the release date do you usually receive the game when you preorder?

    And, whats your favorite online preorder site?

    if you want it fast, just preorder at the closest ebgames. I like gogamer.com, but you will get it a couple days later than eb or gamestop. With thise you might get to pick it up the night before it is "scheduled".

    I'm not much on preording and tend to just go to the store when they open.
    If we hit that bull's eye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate.

    Unless they are giving you something special for pre-ordering, Why bother?
