It seems that there is less demand for it now, and it doesn't surprise me. Companies can only try to include so many pre-order DLC bonuses before it starts to get stale, and quite honestly, I think it also has to do with people not wanting to drop full price on a game that they can pick up down the road for cheaper.
I have not pre-ordered a game in years, and I see no reason to in the future. So what do you think of this shift? Do you pre-order games? If so, what was the last game you pre-ordered?
The last game I pre-ordered was Halo 3, and to this day I still have not got around to playing it.
