Never pre-ordered a game! Never any point! You Pre-Order, you pay at LEAST 20 dollars more! The price always comes down the first day anyway, and the retailers all price-match anyway.

I walked in to buy Final Fantasy 13-2 on release day at 10am, asked them to pricematch to the price of Big W (78) and they dropped 30 dollars off their asking price. If I had pre-ordered, I'd have had to pay the 108 they were asking for.

Not to mention, they gave me the pre-order pack for free too
