Where do you usually pre-order your games from?

Just wondering, as I pre-ordered the recent Pokemon game from Argos and it came on release day but have heard of other people who got it the day before. Just wondering for the future where the best places are to get them before the official release? :p

    Use Shopto.net mate, I always get my order at least 1 day before official release but sometimes 2 days prior to release.

    I don't always use shopto for pre-orders but it depends on how much I want the game, price, and bonuses from other retailers, also if I have a bunch of games to get rid off then it's down to the local stores to trade in and swap.

    I've pre-ordered a ton of games from Shopto and it's always come the day before release at the latest.

    When I used to buy physical discs if I was preordering a game I would use shopto.net

    Origin or Steam. It saves looking for codes and boxes when I do re-installs :).

    Amazon or the US PSN store.

    Living in Ireland, I'm very limited on where I can get my games from. I wouldn't dream of buying games from the retailers here as they charge €70 - €80 for games. I get them off the U.S. PSN store for under €45 and Amazon usually comes in at just over €50 so it depends on if I think I'll want to trade it or not.

    Also if I download from the PSN store I can be playing it at midnight on the day of release where Amazon can have it on my doorstep anywhere between 2 days and 2 weeks after release so it also depends on how eager I am to play the game.

    I don't really pre order games now, but when I do I use simply games as they're normally the cheapest and good service.

    Years ago I used to use shopto but they've got expensive now.

    Amazon, Zavvi or Shopto mostly, sometimes Argos or Tesco. Depends on who is the cheapest or which one is offering a particular edition of a game.
