    The best thing about pre-orders is, when the extremely rare opportunity comes by where you buy the standard version and the clerk tells you "Yo, you want this pre-order version with the bonus? The person that ordered it never came to pick it up."

    Yeah, I've always thought pre-orders were scams. Why should I pre-pay for a product that doesn't exist yet? I'll just buy it when it exists.
    I've noticed though, whenever I buy a game from GameStop on launch day, I always seem to magically get "the last copy".
    Me: "Hi I'd like a copy of Pokemon Omega Ruby?"
    GameStop employee: "Did you pre-order it?"
    Me: "No..."
    GameStop employee: *checks drawer* "Wow, you got the last copy! You lucked out!"

      A 15 year old me was told that back when I got Ratchet: Deadlocked the day it came out (The first game I ever bought on launch day). At the time I was like "Wow, I got lucky! Here's 5 bucks for Metroid Prime Hunters."
      When I got a little older and reminisced on that day I was like, huh, I wonder if that guy was lying. Then again, I was probably more prone to believe it because I was at the one 6 minutes away from that one first and they told me they were out.

      Any preorder you get can be cancelled easily if you change your mind. Preorders help them to estimate how many copies they should order. I have legitimately seen stores run out of all non-preordered copies. Most reviews of major games will drop days before release. You can absolutely be informed before you’re locked into purchase.

    My two favorite collector's editions by far are those for Bravely Second: End Layer and Metroid Dread. Bravely Second only had a mini soundtrack and an artbook, but the disc came in an actual jewel case (none of those awful cardboard sleeves), and the artbook was a big, extensive, hardcover affair that felt really well put-together. I still keep it on my bookcase.
    Metroid Dread came with a similarly small amount of extras, those being a gorgeous SteelBook case for the game, another very nice artbook, and art cards that depicted different games in the series.
    Another excellent collector's edition was Rune Factory 4 Special for the Switch. All it came with was an artbook, but was (again) really well built and covered the entire series.

    you know you're in too deep down the Scott the Woz rabbit hole when you go back and rewatch the clips at 3:04, because you're just not sure if that's stock footage or not.
    I mean, logically, it would make the most sense.
    ...but this is also the man who's gone out of his way to shoot practically everything himself (like that time when he couldn't find an outside background that worked for a scene for Borderline Forever, so he *drove around* until he found a field that he could snap a pic of to use for the greenscreen), so I *don't effin' know anymore*!!

  • @ninefoldrin5507

    Movies used to actually be really big pre-order things as well back in the early 2000s. A lot of movies from big franchises like Star Wars, LotR, HP, etc. would have pre-order bonuses (often exclusive to particular retailers and sometimes different retailers would have different bonuses) and I think that actually helped inspire the game industry to start making pre-order bonuses a thing. It was a lot more likely back then with the demand and production rates of media to miss out on release day if you didn't pre-order. Then movies went fully digital and pre-orders just kinda died off. Not sure why it's remained for video games, but I sure wish you'd still get cool swag for pre-ordering like my Metroid Prime 2 shirt that no one would ever know was a Metroid Prime 2 shirt.

      Really? I've had great experiences with pre-orders, despite the fact that I only pre-ordered two video games: Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens physically and Marvel's Avengers digitally. I didn't get any benefit from The Force Awakens, but I did get my order on the afternoon of June 28, the launch day. So no problem there.
      As for Marvel's Avengers, I got a few skins and trinkets for pre-ordering (Some of which were really cool) AND, as a bonus, I got the game 3-4 days early. But I had to fork over $90 for a semi-decent looter shooter version of the Avengers.
      Anyways, I'm sorry if you've had some terrible experiences from pre-ordering. Personally, while Scott did point out the flaws of it in his video, I find them just a nifty way to experience gaming before anyone else, plus you get a little bonus with it.

    • @faldrino9728

      The last game I preordered was Borderlands 3, spent £90 on the Super Deluxe edition because of my undying love for Borderlands 2. Went to the shop after work as they launched it a day early, got there for about 10pm. When I realised the game was an unoptimised piece of shit, I was heart broken. Played through the patches hoping they would fix it, they didn't.
      Roll on to last month when they announced a season pass 2 on a game I had spent £90 on, thinking I'd get all the content from the word go.
      Never touching the game again. Never preordering a game again. It left too bad a taste in my mouth, when a developer releases a buggy mess of a game and then want another £25 to get ALL the content.
      I still have nightmares.

      I feel you. I was super fucking hyped for it, and bought the Ded_Sec edition. Local GameStop didn't have them in stock, so I ordered from UbiShop... sent directly from Canada.
      Yeah, not my brightest moment.

    My most recent pre-order was Monster Hunter Rise, and damn am I glad I did.

Same with the Magnamalo amiibo I pre-ordered with it because it looks amazing.
