I mean, I can preorder the day before and preload. Why give companies money 5-6 months in advance?

Astrobot pre-orders go live tomorrow!

What if they did a Metroid type reveal at the end and Astro is Sackboy in a space suit? Their dimensions are very similar

I cry about Xbox and hate PlayStation.
Greatness awaits.

If I do pre-order, it's through Amazon which doesn't charge you until it ships. But yeah pre-ordering digitally is stupid unless you need extra time to download before launch.

Yea, with going digital I couldn't tell you the last time I pre-ordered a game. I probably have a few that I technically preordered like 2 or 3 days before but that was really just more to preload. It's kind of pointless with digital, with physical I can understand so you can fully guarantee your copy.
With all that said, I'm gonna pre order Astro Bot as soon as I can. I feel like team Asobi deserves it, as their last 2 games have been awesome and this looks just as good. Plus even if it's just a small help, I wanna help show there is still demand for these type of games. Hopefully it gets a shit ton of preorder or just sells well overall where Asobi can continue to make these type of games.

Edit: Won’t be replacing my avatar though.

Preordering a digital license is kind of stupid.

Works out just over £43 with my previous doubled up points and 11 quid towards the next game. Not bad, I'd say.
For something I won't feel FOMO over, and don't mind not getting the game day one. Because they use Royal Mail (and they suck), other than that TGC are pretty great for preorder offers.

Why isn't there a collectors edition with a figure??

I prefer to not get it from Amazon, you are more likely to pay full price there. That's the cool thing about physical in the UK, there's always online retailers selling it for less than RRP (Asda has been really good at having low prices recently, was one of the cheapest for Stellar Blade)
For example:
Astro Bot (PS5) | PlayStation 5 Game | Free shipping over £20 | HMV Store
Buy Astro Bot (PS5) PlayStation 5 Game Free shipping over £20

First game I've ever preordered the deluxe edition of. That Yarnham hunter model was the deciding factor.
Edit: Really looking forward to the release. Astros Playroom is probably the game so far this gen that delivered the most joy for me personally. I tend to play pretty gloomy games in general so that's one aspect of it, but it also managed to hit all the right spots in terms of nostalgia factor. Having the T-Rex tech demo as the end boss was just *chefs kiss*. Due to my childhood obsession with all things dinosaurs it was literally the first thing I started on my Euro Demo1 when my parents bought me a PS1 (that demo1 disc was the only thing I played for several months, my parents didn't even buy an actual game with the console lol). It was only waay waaay later I found out the T-Rex tech demo was like the showcase of PS1s capabilites.
A wierdly fortunate convergence of my personal nostalgia and celebration of the brands history.

You can unlock it during gameplay though.

I honestly don't mind this preorder system, iv noticed Sony use this pretty much exclusively now. Was the same on Spiderman 2 and Stella Blade, prorder just gives early access to some unlocks than being exclusively locked behind it.

Yeah I think this is a slam dunk.

Wait, the Hunter outfit is Deluxe edition exclusive? If so, that's lame.
No, all outfits just early unlocks, you can get them progressing in the game.

Because it's the only halfway decent looking thing Sony has coming this year, maybe longer.... if this were an Xbox game people would be laughing asking why people pre-order or "they don't even pay for games, doomed"
Game looks cute enough, ill prob pick it up on sale eventually

If you pay for it several months in advance then you can forget you got the game. Then it just shows up on your system like an unfamiliar surprise, sort of like using your left hand when you're all alone.
