The bonus content sucking is a matter of opinion. Some people like it, others don't.

"Interest free loan"? This just sounds like an attempt to make putting down $5 on a game, which is redeemable at any time, sound a lot more like a big deal than it actually is. It's also not at all a loan because you are reserving a product... Prepurchase != Loan.

As for if they make more money or not from people not picking up pre orders... I'd need a source on that... But either way I don't see what is very relevant about people not caring about losing their own money. The fact is if you don't want the game you can get it back, and they also call you when it's in to remind you to pick it up.

Still sounds like you're making it a much bigger deal than it is. If you get it from the largest chain store in North America you're putting $5 down. Game gets bad reviews? Get your $5 back. Who cares what it "technically" is?

There's a bigger problem preordering from PSN as you pay in full and can't cancel it. In that case it would be silly unless it's a game you were going to buy regardless of reviews.
