1. Expecting that the game will be pretty good (mostly the hype does this job), or knowing that it will be a sequel or remake of a very good game.

2. At amazon, because I don't live in the US and that's the only place where I've bought so far and the prices are good. Haven't really tried anything else nor compared it to others to I can't say if it has the best prices. Also I like that if you pre-order at amazon, and the price decreases they give you the lowest price.

3. It is good to know that you'll have your copy of a game just as it launches.

I only pre-order if I'm getting some sort of bonus.

1. What draws you to pre-order games?
Bonuses, such as if I pre-order a game I'll get free DLC or artbook or something, either by paying more or just because of pre-ordering it.
2. where do you mostly pre-order and why?
GameStop, no other (physical) place does pre-orders.

Don't just always make the preorder bonus an artbook, a t-shirt would be better.
