Ravenfreak Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 The only games I'll preorder are Pokemon and Sonic titles, seeing how they're my favorite gaming franchises. I just wish the preorder bonuses for Pokemon were better here in the United States... Lately we've only been getting download codes to lots of Pokeballs, or mediocre healing items where other countries get steelbook editions. 😕 At least with Sonic you get in game bonuses, but I think it's dumb Sega is releasing a digital deluxe edition with extra DLC that the physical release won't have. I'd much rather have a physical copy of the game too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverie Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 My dad preordered my Playstation 4 for me when it originally came out. I've otherwise just waited a few months to get the newer console. I always think the first 3-6 months is when they can trial and error the console and make sure they will not mess up so early on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortie Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 It is very rare that I will pre-order a console and I usually wait a little while instead before I make the purchase rather than jumping on it for release and running into issues. I have still yet to upgrade to the Xbox Series S or X, hoping I will be able to at some point but right now, still waiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kensonplays Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 I have never pre-ordered a console, and I rarely ever preorder games. There is rare instances that I will preorder or kickstart a game. Mostly if it is related to the niche that I enjoy, dinosaurs. I have kick started multiple indie dinosaur games, and one of them failed pretty badly. It is unfortunate, it had a lot of potential to have an amazing paleo-accurate design, but one of their former staff members ran off with a bunch of their money, so the game is had a significant slowdown in their development cycle and it seems to take years for an update.

CoryAR Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 (edited) Pre-orders are usually too expensive for my taste. I generally wait for a console to be out for a little while and buy it when it goes on sale. Edited September 28, 2023 by CoryAR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lens Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 I've pre-ordered a few consoles in the past, but I have to put down a $100 deposit, which is actually non-refundable. I don't really know why I like to pre-order consoles. I just want to be amongst the first people toget my hands on it.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Button Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 I don't like to pre-order my console and the good reason is because I'm not sure about the console's performance. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lens Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 I understand your point quite well. Another thing is that people are not willing to put down a non-refundable deposit without knowing more about the product but I just like to pre-order.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
