1 - Preordering games are overrated and underwhelming.
unless it comes wit some sort of bonus. I live in NYC and there are hundreds of places that sells games days before their release dates

Its true and not to knock on my own submission, but they could have done so much more with that action figure.

1.2 - it's for a quicker 1st day/week estimate
Other than that, there's not really an advantage for ordering early; as there hasn't been a title shortage this gen as far as I know.

You have a M-rated (17 and up) violent action game, and you want to have a damned action figure as a pre-order bonus? Someone didn't think this through.

True, and if they were going to have an action figure, make it a good one at least. Why choose the boring human-looking guy and not one of those crazy creatures seen in trailers?

At least there giving away something for Pre Ordering.

I rather an Action Figure then a piece of paper with a code on it I can't use until a month later.

They don't have to do this it's just one small part of marketing.

And my Vault Tec Bobble Head was the BEST Pre Order figure ever. And Fallout3 is mature right?

I appreciate getting the extra goodie too. The figure is not the coolest I have ever seen but I will take anything extra the game companies want to send me.

The F3 bobble head was a direct reference to items that actually appeared in the game. Unless you mean to tell me that Alex in Prototype has a side mission to collect action figures of different characters in the game for in-game bonuses, then I'm not seeing your point.

Metal gear had action figures and so did resistance. Age has nothing to do with action figures imo its just a collectible item. That being said i have never pre ordered a game for an action figure. But i did pre order ninja gaiden for a shirt

I plan on picking up both this and inFamous. Tired of all the people taking sides on this stuff. It's a great time to be a gamer with quality games coming out. Just play the games and enjoy them.
