[mr_oz]

Only Gradius V!

[Rushy]

Hyper Street Fighter 2

Stalker

Pool Paradise (xbox)

Full spectrum warrior

Four Swords

Bujingai

Half Life 2

[TheSlugFormerlyKnownAsNap]

Nothing at the moment.

But my shopping list is filling up pretty rapidly ...

[Links]

Half-Life 2

Full Spectrum Warrior

Sudeki (might cancel though )

Will probably be pre-ordering Halo 2, GTA:SA, Fable sometime soon.

[Kryptonian]

Halo 2.

I've never pre-ordered a game before.

[Harmunt]

All I REALLY want is Halo 2 and Outrun 2. Nothing else matters.

However, add Pool Paradise (XB) and Full Spectrum Warrior to the list if you must.

Then there's the usual September - November deluge of wallet bursting proportions to look forward too!

[Yobo Ahoy]

I honestly can't remember the last full-price game I bought. £40 is an awful lot of money at the moment, so usually I just wait for a few months/years to get things. Pays dividends though, picked up FFTA and Eternal Darkness for £15 today.

[Anastrophe]

PSP

DS

(seriously)

[JPickford (retired mod)]

Hmm... all I can think of are the various upcoming Zelda titles.

Either I'm an uncurable Nintendo fan or the industry is churning out some dull stuff at the moment. Or both.

I didn't care for Halo but I have to admit that Halo 2 looks bloody brilliant.

[bucket]

GT4, Donkey Konga Disk 2, and Whiteday.

[Polmon]

Stuff thats actually pre-ordered:

Bujingai, Front Mission 4, Star Ocean 3 : Till the End of Time, Half-Life 2

Stuff I intend to get / maybe pre-order:

FFXII, Xenosaga 2, Doom3, DMC3, new Zeldas (GC and GBA), Pikmin 2, GTA: San Andreas, Burnout 3, MGS3, Resi 4, Metroid Prime 2

Agg, I need to win the lottery :s

[Bojangle]

Pre-ordered - Nintendo DS.

Stuff not pre-ordered but getting on release: Legend Of Zelda (GC), Minish Cap (GBA), Metroid Prime 2, Star Fox 2, Halo 2, Pokemon Fire Red, Mario Tennis, Resident Evil 4, Advance Wars: Under Fire, Paper Mario 2, Fable, MGS 3, GT 4.

Thats all I can think of at the minute, probably loads more.

[JoeK]

I love these pre-release type threads. It's only after I read them that I see just how many good things are being released. I don't tend to pre-order much...like many I'll tend to hold off until actual release, and then try to save a few bob here or there in the coming weeks when prices drop.

Hence my picking up Splinter Cell 2 for £22 for my US Xbox!

Yay.

[Salsa Party Animal]

from videogamesplus.ca as I have done it a fortnight ago.

[Mogget]

[MikeF]

Disagea

GT4

Thats about it for the moment but Halo 2, Doom 3 and Half Life 2 will be pre ordered at some stage

[esar]

The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures (GC) - 07/06/2004

Mario Vs. Donkey Kong (GBA) - 25/05/2004Tjh

Those ones

(Mario & DK tomorrow woo-hoo!)

[ScouserInExile]

GT4: Prologue

Judging by the amount of people here who have pre-ordered it, I may have to add GT4 to the list to make sure I get it on the day it's released

[Graham S]

Zelda 4 swords

[Comrade]

I don't see any point to most of these pre-orders. Pre-ordering the big games, fair enough. MGS3, Halo 2, a new Zelda, new consoles, it's a good idea, they might run out on the release date.

Anything else - what's the point? The chances of GAME or whoever running out of copies of say, Paper Mario 2 when the game hits the shops is practically nil. I fully intend to buy this game on its release, and I'll do it by swanning into the shop, picking up a copy, and buying it.

Actually, I think it's probably the wrong way around.

I'll gaurentee that you'll be able to get Halo2, MGS3 and other big name games everywhere, with no hint of stores running out.

They're sure fire sellers (or one would hope...), so orders will be big.

But then you have Paper Mario. I'll certainly be picking it up, but it's not going to sell in huge numbers. GAME and other stores will know this, and order smaller amounts.

If anything, pre-order the niche-market games, as once these are gone, it's tough to pick them up. My years of finally finding Parappa the Rapper and Um Jammer Lammy testify to this!

[Dimahoo]

I'm pre-ordering because theres just so much stuff and err,

I don't like game shops because they smell.

And its cheaper with some games anyway.

I mean Driv3r at 17.99 for PC at Play.com!!!!

[Salsa Party Animal]

I have to pre-order games as I rely too much on internet shopping as I hate shopping in high street. (Apart from the Bull Ring)

[Sabreman]

I generally don't do pre-ordering, but the games inked in on my list are:

Gradius V

Final Fantasy XII

Front Mission 4

Resident Evil 4

ESP Galuda

Halo 2

[One Man and his Dog]

Exactly. Witness the recent Harvest Moon on Gamecube problems.

I preorder as I use DVDBO, which means if you don't preorder you probably won't get it.

5% price reduction when pre-ordered.

[Mercury]

Not a great deal:

Archer Maclean's Pool Paradise for XBOX. I thought this was coming out ages ago and had forgotten about it.

GT4: Prologue special edition thing that I got vaguely excited about in a bored moment - might cancel this.

Red Dead Revolver for XBOX.

All on Play.com.

I will probably order the Halo 2 tin when it appears but for games I am really looking forward to, I usually go into Game to get them on day of release, hence no PES4, GTA: SA etc.

[Laine]

I didn't have anything preordered until last night, I can finally join in!

Winging their way to me sometime in June:

Front Mission 4

Bujingai

Growlanser Generations Uber Mega Geeky Super Special Boxset!
