Honestly, if the idea of no trials don’t bother you, there are plenty more reminders why YOU shouldn’t preorder.

The only situation I can think of where it makes sense is where you have the money now, and don't think you'll have the will power to not waste it before release day.

...which, if you're a teen/young person, I could totally see that being a legitimate concern.

Don't they often not charge you until the game is delivered (or in the case of digital, unlocked)?
