Unless you are after some kind of promotional freebee, I would not bother pre-ordering anything. Usually the opening week it a hot item comes out, some stores like Best Buy or Target will have a special sale price just to get you in their store. I would not be surprised if you could get it there for $39 or less that first day.
But you run the risk of not being able to get one at all if the store doesn't have enough copies. It seems that new releases for DVD's and software usually happen on a Tuesday. So make plans to be at the store early that day and you should be fine.

But the pre-order would most likely be at full price. I guess I still have a serious aversion to dropping $50 for a video game. I guess that why I always end up waiting until everyone else has moved on to something newer and I can pick it up for $20 or $30.
But Half-life 2, Doom 3, and Pacific Assault will probably sway me to the dark side.

Hmm, you have a good point, if you can get there early that is the best. If it is a MUST HAVE for me I will pay full price, but if it is a game that I'd like to have but I won't die without it I'll wait for the price to at least come down $10 or so.
btw, MOHPA will be a must have for me...
I bet I know why. They were probably not happy that some of the guys here had already made that Hell in the Pacific mod before they could finish up. Granted, the HL2 engine will effectively stomp HITP into the ground. But not if they make it extremely difficult for the community to mod or map with it.
With the success of "Counterstrike", the modding community is doing a pretty good job of converting just about every game that comes out into something totally different. That makes it more difficult for these companies to use the same engine and crank out a mod of their own.
(It's kind of like the PT cruiser. It's a fancy body on a Dodge Neon chassis. But how much money would Dodge be making if everyone bought a Neon and built their own custom Body on top of it for free?)
Look at how well done the Desert Combat mod is for Battlefield 1942. That will make it pretty difficult for EA to create their own modern warfare version and charge us full price. More than likely, they will absorb Desert Combat just like Valve did with Counterstrike and turn it into an official game. There is also already a WW1 mod and a Star Wars mod underway. I haven't played either of those yet so I can't judge their quality. But the idea of a star wars mod intrigues me enough to buy Battlefield. And that is beating Lucas Arts to the punch.
But basically, the modding and mapping community are doing a very good job of creating the games we want to play without their help. They gave us such crappy documentation for Radient. But even without it, look at what our resourceful community has accomplished.

you know, .map outa be a company.
a Radient mapping comapny, seriously. we freelance our work and sell it off to companies. with all the guys we have here it'd be nothing to create a fabulous level for MOHPA or the next expansion for it... jv_map could make his bots2 into a professional grade thing, someone would map out the levels, and someone would script in some interesting stuf...
it'll never happen but i thought that sounded reeaaaally cool.

well,that does sound cool .but unfortunatly many of the ppl in .map already have lifes and jobs ,so the work on maps on thier free time .but a company would need dedication
besides ,the most of the ppl in this so called company are only the best mappers and scripters so prolly the rest of us mere mortals wouldnt get a chance .
