Topic: What have you pre-ordered for 2009?

[raptorspike]

That sounds insanely expensive.

You have no idea.  But at least I have more games at hand than any human could ever play.  (The dilemma is that I could probably play most of them if I were not employed, but then I couldn't afford to buy them!)

That is my problem. I can't find a job anywhere. So my gaming purchases come when someone is nice to give me money for doing anything. If I had the cash, I'd have preordered MadWorld, House of the Dead: Overkill, Dead Rising, and a few others.

[Flames_of_chaos]

Well thanks to Amazon's Black Friday deals I have more than enough games to play and tide me over plus when those games that I want and when I have some extra cash I could possibly get them cheaper.

[WuTangTurtle]

I haven't preordered anything in a long while either and probably won't be doing so until I get out of unemployment.  I'd find it even harder to even purchase games if it weren't for the fact that I'd gladly eat nothing but ramen, rice, and canned foods.

I'm off right now to pre-order Street Fighter 4 Collector's Edition and the Tournament Edition Arcade Fightstick.   How do I live with myself by dropping $230 on a video game and a controller?!

[Adrock]

House of the Dead: Overkill, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, Madworld

[Spinnzilla]

Just preordered Deadly Creatures.  I am really excited. 

I might preorder Madworld for my brother, as a nice gesture.

[Dirk Temporo]

lol pre-ordering.

Speaking of ridiculous wastes of money.

By branding yourself a consumer whore.

[NWR_Lindy]

That tournament stick is ****-hot, and it's limited to a run of 3000 so I can't fault you for that.  It's totally sold out on Amazon already.  It uses all Sanwa parts <drool>

I went through a pre-order mania phase last year, but over Christmas I realized that I had so many games coming in that I wasn't even taking the time to enjoy what I had.  I still have the Fallout 3 CE sitting here in it's plastic, and I got it at launch.  That's a waste of $70 if all I'm doing is staring at the game on the floor of my room.

I'll only pre-order if I WILL play the game day one.

TeeHee...

[KDR_11k]

Okay, I pre-ordered one game: Cv Judgement because Amazon listed it at 30€ (that's very cheap for a Wii game, the US equivalent price is $20 since a $30 game would cost 40€ here) and I wasn't sure that wouldn't go up by the time it comes out. If the price remains it seems like Konami has recognized that they're not going to sell many copies to the faithful fans.

[Adrock]

Still too much money for Castlevania Judgment..... Konami should have to pre-order your time if they want you to play it.

[Flames_of_chaos]

I think CV:J was perfectly worth the 40 dollars I spent on it!

[NWR_pap64]

CV:J is on my "to buy" list. I am sure that by the time I have the money it will have dropped price significantly.

[Dirk Temporo]

TeeHee...

Let me count the number of times I've ever pre-ordered... None.

Let me count the number of times I've ever not been able to get a game I wanted when I wanted... None.

Hm...

No one around you buys games.

I think I have two games preordered. Sims 3 (YES!) and Deadly Creatures (Yes but smaller yes then Sims 3)

If you're going to dispute what I say, I'm going to make a counterpoint. Being all "HURR NOBODY CARES" after just makes you look like an idiot.

Ok, let's get serious now...

I personally don't care if you pre-order games or not. You have clearly stated your reasons. The one thing that annoys me about it is the condescending attitude about it.

Many of us, myself included, like to pre-order games for various reasons (getting it at launch, making sure they have a copy etc.). Like I stated, you see no need and that's fine. However, there was no need to shove it on people's face like you are somehow better than them.

In that case, the one that made himself look like an idiot was you, because you saw the need to troll a thread with a snide attitude in order to make yourself feel better. And I reiterate, no one gives a crap what you think.

[Caliban]

Deadly Creatures, Little King's Story, Madworld, House Of The Dead Overkill, Tenchu Shadow Assassin, Marble Saga Kororinpa.

I could not pre-order The Conduit, and Muramasa The Demon Blade because they are not in the Canadian EB database.

[Kairon]

Okay, the truth is, I don't have any outstanding pre-orders right now. I'm waiting for my new internship to start, and then I want to be careful with my money and see how it goes from there. Additionally, I have a backlog that could last me a good year and a half.

HOWEVER, in the spirit of this thread, I have compiled a list of future games that I would heavily consider pre-ordering. Dates are NOT exact, list may NOT be complete, and some/many of these games may NEVER come out or get gelayed until 2010. That said, it was fun to compile quickly...

Wow Kairon, thanks for reminding me how many great games there are coming out for Wii this year. I know I recently preordered Madworld, and HOTD: O

[Stogi]

No PES makes me a sad panda. Still, great list.

[BeautifulShy]

Nice list Kairon.
