I haven't pre-ordered a game since Halo 2.
Midnight release, hundreds of gamers waiting in line at GameStop, telling stories, trading gamertags, having fun...
Games going digital killed the social aspect of pre-orders, since now you just push a button and you have the game. No worries about copies running out and having to drive a city over to the Kmart no one shops at to find one in stock.
