If there is one time that justifies preordering, then it would definitely be system launch because there is an actual risk of the stores running out of the system, and if you've committed to the system then you need a game tape to put in it.

The other being If you live somewhere where you don't want to drive to a store. Closest game store to me is a 45 minute round trip. Mailman comes at like 10AM every day. If I preorder I will have a game on launch day by the time I would want to play. If I am buying a game at system launch or its launch it is literally more convenient for me to preorder.

What's the downside if you are going to buy one at some point anyway?

You should do whatever the gently caress you want with you money

Preorder a console
Buy some crystal meth
Obtain questionably fresh kebab meats at 3am

Whatever, who gives a gently caress what some arsehole on the internet thinks

Generally putting money down on things is financially unwise, in my culture but I don't care I just think preordering skyrim is super :lol:

I have played through and even platinumed Skyrim but I never got the dlc so I'll pick it up if that stuff is included. I normally wouldn't preorder any games or accessories but at launch is basically the exception, I like to have everything already taken care of so I'm in and out of the store quickly. Like I said, I'm pulling Jim Sterling money over here. I worked nine hours double time Monday so all my Switch related expenses are more than covered.

The reason it's funny to preorder skyrim on Switch is because the game is probably not actually coming to Switch

Ubisoft, after the trailer came out, said they haven't decided yet if they're actually going to port it. Nintendo just faked it in the trailer which is hilarious and weird.

LOL if you think Nintendo showed Skyrim on the Switch if they didn't know Skyrim was coming out for the Switch. LOL if you think they didn't get Bethesda's permission to show Skyrim running on the Switch.

A city that was to live by night after the wilderness had passed. A city that was to forge out of steel and blood-red neon its own peculiar wilderness.
They said that because Nintendo has control over the marketing.

The game is in GameStop's system, it exists

Yeah, the Mario game with the weird invisible mountains that makes no sense as a thing to include if you just want to say "hey there'll be a mario game" but does make sense if you're showing off actual footage from a new Mario game?

Most retailers put up placeholder prices when they have an item people want to preorder and they themselves don't know the price. Like placeholder dates for December 2017 or whatever.
