Do you pre-order games?

I can see the point of people being upset about it being released on the same day as it turns a $60 purchase into a $75 one. Perhaps it is a cash grab and most gamers I think would appreciate their money being spent over time for additional content instead of something they can purchase for the game on the very day it is released and theoretically could/should have been included with the game.

This would be akin to IW releasing a map pack for a Modern Warfare game the day it launches. The fanboy response would be unbearable.

That being said, it doesn't mean much as the people who would have bought it two weeks later will likely in both cases still purchase it at launch.
