I don't typically preorder games anymore. Gone are the days of the blockbuster game selling out all over town (unlike hardware). Preorder bonuses have gotten pretty weak too. Besides, I'm at a stage of life where space is more valuable to me than knickknacks or flimsy art books. Skins and exclusive weapon variants mean nothing.
When I do preorder, it's for convenience. I know I want to get the game, and I want to just pay for it now so that it will be waiting for me when I get home on release day. I can always cancel if previews look iffy.
I did jump on Tears of the Kingdom when the rumor started going around that it was going to be $70 to lock in that $60 price. I loved BotW (weapon degradation notwithstanding), so it was a safe bet in any case.
