Preordering games, reserving games, midnight game fanatics

The top selling game on Amazon.com in Japan is "Super Smash Bros.: Brawl." The game is also number two in America.

This begs a question that I've been curious about.

How many of you pre-order or reserve video games in advance? Am I the only one who waits for a while to go out and buy the game of my dreams?

Also, who has gone to a store at midnight just to get a new release? I want stories, people! Who's been pushed over for a GameBoy Color?

Personally, I've never stayed up for hours for a game. "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix," however, is a different story.

I do believe that I'll go ahead and pre-order my copy of "Super Smash Bros.: Brawl" soon.
