I rarely preorder anything - and if I do it's not for the so-called 'incentives'. I simply like drawing a line under the fact that I *will* be playing X. So, I have to have huge faith in the game already. But mostly I don't bother. I won't be pre-ordering ME3 - I'll get to it eventually. Also depends on the price e.g. Diablo 3 here has a pre-order price which is ~ 40% higher than most other games I have seen. Well, I was already very negative about the always-online aspect, and that just killed any interest I had in that game.
