I'm probably going to preorder White sometime around the end of January, possibly earlier.

Is pre-ordering cheaper than buying the game after it's released? Just wondering; I haven't preordered games before XD

Preordering guarantees you a copy on the games' release date.
While buying it after does have its pros, it also has its cons.
The pro being that you wouldn't have to pay as much if you wait a while.
The con being you aren't exactly 100 % guaranteed you'll get the game the day you go to the store.
Either way, wait until after said game is released is cheaper.

There is a preorder payment that is a small percentage of the price of the product.

EDIT: Ninja'd

Thanks everybody. :)

Well, I don't have a reliable pre-ordering system here anyway, so I'll just wait after the game's released. xD

That stuff is usually worthless, though. *glares at Donkey Kong Country Returns*

@Zenova
Really? No reliable preordering system? That's too bad...

There are pre-ordering systems for games released here, I think, but the prices are really...unfair.

I'd rather just wait. Thankfully, people here aren't that crazy about Pokemon games so I'll get my game not long after the release. ;)

Here people are more into games that involve more players and competing with each other. That's why PC games such as Starcraft and Warcraft are so popular here. XD

Nintendo games are still in the rising trend ^^ Just not enough to stir one of those long, long lines at game stores on release dates XD

Honestly, most people where I live prefer shooters, and don't play Pokémon.
Though you still get the occasional person buying a Pokémon game here and there.


About half the games in the store I have to go to are Shooters..

If 'shooter' refers to games involving shooting (gun), then that's another heptic trend here. There are like over ten shooting online games XD

I don't like those online games, but sometimes at an arcade, I do enjoy a round of a shooter...they are fun if the plot and graphics are good.

My Game Stop has way too many display copies of Call of Duty: Black Ops. Half of all of their display boxes are for that one game. XD

The only online FPS that I play is Halo.

Since the Gamestop shiny dog events begin soon, that'll be the time I preorder my Black and White.
