    That used to make sense before all games were delivered over the internet. When all games were delivered physically via disk, running out was possible. Preorder made sure you had your copy on the day of the release.

      Lol yeah, that’s what I meant, digitally delivered videogames. I remember having to secure my copy of like, Halo 3 or Skyrim in advance so I could play it on release. :D
