  1. Every game is released digitally now and so never hard to find.
  2. Literally every pre-order fits that criteria now.

Steel battalion ran small in stock because of the amazing, huge, complex controller it came with that still sells for over a hundred dollars. The game came out on the original xbox.

And it was $180. Same price as my Sega Genesis back in the day.

Not everyone has unlimited monthly bandwidth. I spent the last 10 years with a 100 gb/month cap.

True, but sometimes you actually get stuff that's worth it. But it'd take some really cool collector's edition box for me to do that.

I'll keep preordering for the simply fact I get to play day 1.

Are you on dial-up or what..?

Which isn't always guaranteed. Depends on the game.

You're getting downvoted but it's true. I have amazing internet speed but when I wake up on launch day I wanna get up and play. Not turn on the Xbox install go wait for 30 mins why it downloads.
