A pre-order is an order placed for an item which has not yet been released. The idea for pre-orders came when people found it hard to get popular items in stores due to their popularity. Companies then had the idea to allow customers to reserve their own personal copy, before the release, which has been a huge success. Pre-orders allow consumers to guarantee immediate shipment on release, manufacturers can gauge how much demand there will be and hence the size of initial production runs, and sellers can be assured of minimum sales. Additionally, high pre-order rates can be used to further increase sales.
Pre-order incentive, also known as pre-order bonus, is a marketing tactic whereby a retailer or manufacturer/publisher of a product (usually a book or video game) encourages buyers to reserve a copy of the product at the store prior to its release.
Reasons for this vary, typically publishers wish to ensure strong initial sales for a product, and the offered incentive is used to induce shoppers (who might otherwise wait for positive reviews or a specific shopping period like the holiday season) to commit to a purchase. Having paid for part or all of the purchase when placing the order, these consumers will usually complete the transaction shortly after the product's release, often on its first day in stores. Individual stores or retail chains may also offer bonuses for a popularly anticipated product, to ensure that the customer chooses to buy at that location, rather than from a competitor.
Well, it looks like the damage has already been done. But right now lots of articles and youtubers are once again asking us to stop preordering our games. Truth is, we now live in a preorder culture in gaming and pre-orders are just how it is. But in this video we talk about how that can change, and why it should.
Some pre-orders have you running out to the store in order to guarantee yourself an amazing supplemental piece that leave all your friends jealous. These are not those pre-orders.

Why are they selling Deluxe Editions of games which DON'T INCLUDE THE ACTUAL GAME ITSELF? The answer is pretty simple to us but would you agree?

This is a small story of what happened to me earlier today when I went to GameStop to cancel my pre-order but at the same time, I spontaneously decided to purchase five games. My Twitter - https://twitter.com/IndustrialGamer Music : Benny Benassi - Mirror's Edge Still Alive Benny Benassi Remix
You can now support me directly to create even better future content and make new segments to the channel possible @ https://www.patreon.com/houseochampions This is more of a buyer beware than anything - Prices are about to get INSANE but I highly suggest not preordering singles from this set. This set is similar to BOSH and DUEA but has key differences that will spike prices. With so many good secrets, I think for the first time in a while, buying sealed product is the way to go if you're tossing cash rather than pre ordering.

http://www.patreon.com/jimquisition http://www.thejimquisition.com http://sharkrobot.com/collections/jimquisition-merch Deus Ex: Mankind Divided has given us one of the most grotesque pre-order schemes in "AAA" history. Its "Augment Your Pre-order" plan is a blight on the industry, and the worst part is that it's just another development in a long and sad story. Pre-order culture is the worst. It seeps into everything. It needs to be sucked out.
Lots of talk about pre-ordering games. But no one ever talks about the publishers. I am here to stand up for the little guy. No don't pre-order games unless you know it's Nintendo. They usually don't make broken games because that could kill them or something. You know what never pre-order games like seriously. https://twitter.com/KilExperience Music: http://www.purple-planet.com and Music Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/
Seré el guardian de tus sueños
seré la miel de tus besos
seré el ladron de tu cuerpo
de tu ilusión
La vida no es igual no puedo meditar
Ya perdí mi calma y esta realidad
que me hizo despertar
y contemplar que sin ti
yo estoy muriendo
Y que por ti contaría mis secretos
Quisiera ser el dueño de tu silencio
ser tu aliento al respirar
cruzarme en el camino de tu destino y una vez más
escaparme por tu cuerpo y así soñar
que tu amor lo llevo dentro
Coro
Por ti yo iré
por donde quiera que me lleve tu alma
por donde quiera que me lleve
tu imaginación yo volaré contigo sí
por ti yo iré
caminaré por el fuego descalzo
te libraré del frio con mi abrazo
y soñaremos juntos al amanecer
por ti yo iré
Seré el guardian de tus sueños
seré la miel de tus besos
seré el ladrón de tu cuerpo
seré tu amante secreto
seré tu luz y tu anhelo
seré tu huella en el tiempo
tu salvación
No puedo ni pensar
me pesa la ansiedad de volver a verte
y muero por llegar para entregarte al fin
Mi libertad fundir tu corazón y el mio
y así volar con nuestro amor a cualquier sitio
y el mundo está desierto si no te tengo
nada es cierto si no estás
Te busco entre la bruma de mi locura
y te amo más
Y aunque tu piel no esta conmigo
un día vendrás que es para amarte que he nacido
Coro
Seré el guardián de tus sueños
seré la miel de tus besos
seré el ladrón de tu cuerpo
Y tu corazón y tu razón
tu refugio para amar
seré tu amante secreto
seré tu luz y tu anhelo
seré tu huella en el tiempo
tu salvación y la ilusión
de entregarte todo mi amor
Coro...
