After the debacle that was Destiny 2, which I pre-ordered for $100 (which was a lot back then), I swore off ever pre-ordering games ever again. However Starfield is out soon, and I have been dying to play it it’s the whole reason I bought my Series X. So, do I preorder it?
Speaking as someone who played Mass Effect Andromeda day one and regrets getting Elden Ring full price, sometimes you can wait a little bit. Maybe save a buck or two on an early used copy, even.
