Scott the Woz is the perfect place to go if you want to hear everything about video games except what it's actually like to play them.

How do I pre-order the next Scott The Woz video

That guy who preordered Duke Nukem Forever like 12 years before release: Yes!

@PartyDude_19

There was this one guy who preordered Duke Nukem Forever at Gamestop in 2001.
They actually fulfilled the preorder and gave the guy a giant care package of Duke Nukem merchandise and knowing the quality of Duke Nukem Forever, I am going to assume that the merchandise was the better part of the deal.

11:04 I think that is the most genuine “why” I’ve ever heard

@eddache

I've only ever found pre-orders to be a disaster. I got Smash for 3DS on pre-order which had "attempted delivery" which was a lie as I was at home. So I cancelled the order, just bought the game in a store, then later that day the pre-order arrived anyway!

@corinsr3882

I remember my dad pre ordered the wind waker and he was so excited he played ocarina of time first instead of wind waker

@poptartravioli5874

I remember my mom had preordered Lego Harry Potter and she took me and my brother to gamestop to pick it up. The preorder bonus was a shirt that said "dumbledore's army" on it. The cashier saw my mom had two kids so they gave her two shirts. Idk that just seemed like a really special moment to me. Preorder bonuses will never be the same :/

@geealion

Preorders for books are big too, actually, and can have a big impact on their printing and whether they make top lists

@mohamedabdi8991

Don’t lie Scott, that Donkey Kong banana wii remote holder was cool af

@Techn0Fox

The best pre-order incentive I ever got was the Mirror's Edge messenger bag.

I actually used that through the entirety of high school and it was so damn cool. Kinda wish I had kept it as a collectible though since it seems very rare now.

@jamesjazz3395

The only time I wasn't disappointed with a pre-order was Halo 2. Getting home from the midnight release was amazing. Putting the disk in the system without having to download anything. Then just staying up all night playing multiplayer with people all over the country. The experience could never be replicated for me.

@michaelrivera8923

The only pre-orders I remember I've made where:

Pokemon platinum: it came with a figure of Giratina and I ended up with 2 become the employees gave me one when pre-ordering and one on pickup day. 

Kingdom hearts 2.5: it came a "collectible" box and a pin

Witcher 3: it came with a poster, soundtrack, a keychain with special bag and the special box

@NintendoCollecting

Gex would be the preorder you get for Scott

The best thing about pre-orders is, when the extremely rare opportunity comes by where you buy the standard version and the clerk tells you "Yo, you want this pre-order version with the bonus? The person that ordered it never came to pick it up."

Because of that I'm the proud owner of an Ezio figurine (just don't look at his face under his hood, it's not a pretty face), and a sweeeeet Mario Kart Wii steering wheel (somewhere).

@samanthas8341

Whenever I remember Scott’s game room my mind goes “Scott doesn’t have to buy the game it’ll just show up in his shelf at some point”

@EtherealMystic

This man just Spoke for 12 minutes about one of the most trivial pieces of the gaming industry and found a way to make it interesting.....

@ethanwiebe6662

I wish every game preorder came with a full soundtrack disk or disks, leaving no songs out. I’m a sucker for game music

@robertwarf3316

My favorite pre order moment was Modern Warfare 2 in 2009. Everybody waiting in line to pick up their pre order and I just walked by everyone to grab a copy off the shelf. It was awesome
