Do you pre-order games?

If the game is very anticipated or something that I REALLY REALLY want then I will pre-order

For me, it's almost laziness -- I know there's a game coming out that I want to purchase, but I don't want to have to keep track of when it's being released, so I pre-order it and wait for it to arrive.

Yes, I do occasionally pre-order games. I do so through Amazon.com, since they have a price-match guarantee, whereby I receive a refund if the price I paid to pre-order ends up being higher than the price the game actually sells for on its opening release day.

I currently have Blizzard's World of Warcraft: Cataclysm on pre-order.

I pre-order games/movies on rare occasions. The latest one I have on order is the new World of Warcraft, Cataclysms. I have to be very interested in the item before I preorder it and usually I just wait for the release. Only if I want to guarantee that I get a copy will I preorder and on occasion I will pre-order to take advantage of the extra items included, like I did with Star Trek Online.
