Please post the last game you pre-ordered

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

Is that even legal Andrew?

In the States at least $59.99 is the MSRP of most console games at launch. Here in the US at launch it really doesn't matter where you go. 99% of the time you'll pay that price. Not a penny over or less. If I ever saw a big name retailer price gouging I'd seriously report them.

As for the price dropping after the first day that also doesn't happen here. It'll usually take a good 2-3 months before the price comes down at all.
