The ONLY two advantages to preordering now are game preloading, and exclusive preorder digital stuff for a game you were already going to buy at full price day one anyway.

I preorder FFXIV expacs because it comes with an accessory to make leveling jobs wicked fast. So it's worth it and a game I know I will play. Other games I wait. Not only do I know it won't be my primary game, but I know not all games are going to be great.
