    Unless the pre-load is up, I don't see the point in pre-ordering games.

    Nothing paid off yet since it's Amazon, but it's ordered. Should be here by noon on Friday. Can't fucking wait.

    I was about to pre-order it a couple days ago when I remembered that Skyward Sword comes out this month too. I really need a better source of income.

    I pre ordered months ago as well, because I got it on the cheap and because I knew I wasn't going to be able to resist the game anyway. I won't likely get it on day one, but I can live with that. It's just sad because I all I'll even use the box for is for the key to activate on Steam anyway, which means I should be able to pre-load and be playing day one in a perfect world.

    I switched my pre-order from the standard edition to the Collector's Edition when it was announced. I paid it off on Thursday so all I have to do now is wait. Which will most likely kill me.

    I might waffle and get the soundtrack.

    I put mad listens on the Morrowind and Oblivion soundtracks, and I just pulled those out of the /music directory and downloaded the album covers (or did I torrent them, I can't remember, either way I could have just moved the files from the game dir to my itunes dir...). Anyway, what I'm thinking is I'm getting the Steam copy, so I don't have anything physical, and buying the soundtrack would give me something for my bookshelf (after I rip them and never use the discs again?) while putting a few bucks in Jeremy Soule's pocket for all the pleasure I've taken from his work.

    I should probably get the sound track....

    I just changed my pre-order from Amazon UK to a Swedish retailer instead. Sure, it's ~10Euro more expensive, but I just couldn't stand to wait over the weekend for it to arrive. Now let's just hope this new retailer will actually send me my copy so I have it on Friday...

    @Mr_Skeleton: My experience with AAA games on Steam in the last two years suggests that yes, preloading will happen.

    My guess, check on Wednesday. By then if not earlier, IMO.

    I was thinking about it, but I'm 100% certain I will be able to walk in to my local shop Friday morning and buy it.

    If not...Panic time!

    Yeah, I definitely put my money down. That sexy map won't pre-order itself.

    I preordered my copy a couple months ago, just to guarantee I'd have a copy available to grab on release day. I preordered at Gamestop, so I get a lifesize map of the game or something, which I could care less about. I really wish they gave you a special weapoon/armor or something.

    I'm going to a midnight launch. I'd prefer to order it online somewhere but my friends are making come along and I've always wanted to know what a midnight launch is like anyway. The brief amount I played at Eurogamer Expo had me sold on the game and the only unknown for me is on the technical side. I really hope I don't get any of the stuck-in-rock type bugs that I experienced in Fallout 3.

    In oblivion and Fallout you could enter "tcl" in the console to toggle noclip. Saved me many times from having to reload my game. I really hope that we still have access to the console in the PC version of Skyrim.

    Yeah but I immediately regretted it. Kinda expected them to let you pre-load it, but apparently less than a week is still too early.

    I don't like giving money away for zilch in return.
