Skyrim and Battlefield 3 on pre-order. Got Arkham City for free with my graphics card, wasn't going to get it at all, but free game is nice.

None. I haven't bought any games this year thus far, have none on preorder, and might buy none before year's end.

From that list? None.

Other "AAA" titles I have actually pre-ordered this year were:

Crysis 2
FEAR 3 (...okay, that's more of a "B movie" title, but hush. I love that series. It's AAA to me! :P )
Portal 2
Manchester United 7

I pre-order games pretty rarely, since my usual rule with games is not to buy it unless it's on sale. (I'm on a budget, plus when you consider that with Steam's mega-sales, $60-50 you could spend on pre-ordering one title could instead get you 10+ games if you play your cards right...yeah, I know which option I'm going for.) This year is actually pretty unusual in terms of pre-orders--usually I only do one, if that. There just happened to be a lot of titles coming out that I felt were worth the release day buy. :)

I would've pre-ordered Skyrim, too, but I felt like I'd already done too much pre-ordering. Plus my computer decided to demand a new PSU and HDD all at once. And I figured that given how I play TES games--IE, with lots and lots of mods--even if I pre-ordered Skyrim I'd be waiting for mods and bug fixes to play it anyway, so...might as well wait for a price drop instead.

I don't pre-order. Getting the game at release isn't important to me, and I like to make sure from reviews that it will ultimately be worth my while (and dollar), even for games that I do heavily anticipate. That, or I decide to wait for a sale to come up, or the holidays or birthday to swing around, because I'm cheap! ^_~ And because I like that overwhelming feeling of getting so many games at once.

Just preordered MW3 tonight at Gamestop. I'm picking up Battlefield 3 in the next week or two and my friends are giving me $60 to get Skyrim for my birthday.

Well, none. What's the point in pre-ordering anyway? Will be getting Skyrim and Saints Row 3 though.

I just pre-ordered Skyrim from Newegg, since they had a $12 off promo code.

I pre-ordered Deus Ex: Human Revolution to take advantage of a sale.

Pre-ordered Pokemon Gold/Silver and The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages/Seasons when I was little because I was told there'd be limited supply. These days I really don't know what the point is though, seeing as most games come in massive shipments.

I usually preorder, or even just buy online just so i dont need to go to the shops. Plus usually the games sitting waiting on me by the time im home from work.
Backfired once when i preordered WoW Cataclysm and i never got it till about a week and a half later due to snow.

Haven't bought a new game in years, and have never pre-ordered a game in my life.
