Best value preorders

feelgoodinc27

Hi, I have been looking around online at preorders for some games and I thought it might be handy to have a thread for the best value preorders out there. I have been looking at halo reach and fable 3 standard editions and thehut.com appears to be the best value at:
€45.43 for reach (with Pre-Order Bonus Spartan Recon Helmet Variant)
€47.93 for fable 3 (with Pre-Order Bonus 'Create Your Own In-Game Villager')

Amazon.co.uk is 1 or 2 yoyos cheaper than the hut for fable 3 but it doesn't state if it includes create your own villager.

Also Medal of Honor standard and limited edition are the same price at €46.93 and Batman Arkham Asylum GOTY (not a preorder but still good value) is €21.43 on blahdvd.com.

Does anyone know if the bricks and mortar shops are doing any good deals on upcoming games?

I don't like pre-orders. I find them to be absolute nonsense. The rewards are generally just novelty items that are useless in the greater scheme of things. The only game that I had any level of difficulty in getting when it was released was RDR, and that wasn't too difficult at all. Don't see the need for pre-orders at all.

Just use this website Link It does exactly what your looking for, it usually has the cheapest price for games. Zavvi is £1 cheaper than the hut for Halo : Reach

trade in Red Dead for 42.50 in gamestop against a new pre-order game eg fifa 11.

dont know if that offer still stands but what an terrific and stupid offer, i paid 45 for red dead, to lose just 2.50 a few months later is brilliant.

I agree with you about the preorder bonuses, I'm more concerned with buying games at their cheapest when they are released.

What are the hut like for delivery time? It says to pre-order halo reach for delivery on Sept. 14th but would it actually arrive on release day is the question?

I'm pretty sure that this is an ongoing thing with Gamestop that they give back an extra 25% if you're trading against a pre-order. I traded Singularity and POP The Forgotten Sands, was being offered €48 for the two. When I went to get the credit I was offered €60 if I took it against an upcoming release, Black Ops booked and paid for thank you very glad!

Pat's doing a deal for Boardsies on Halo Reach over on the Gamesnash forum in case you've missed it. </shill>

Some great bargains on that find-games.co.uk site mind you. Bookmarked for future reference.
