Short answer? No.
Long answer? Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
I tend to only buy certain games. I wouldn't pre-order a game because frankly, I never need to. Series I would pre-order, like Armored Core which I autobuy, aren't popular enough in the States to create rarity at the stores, so I feel no pressure to make certain I have a copy tied down. The problem also isn't a matter of fanbase or popularity; the series is quite deliberately poorly promoted, and will probably never get better, whereas in Japan it's always been strong, so me preordering it wouldn't help much, I feel. And in general given my interests almost none of the games I play are popular in the US or have any tangible mainstream appeal, so nobody is chomping at the bit to buy them the moment they're released.

As for series outside of those I automatically know I will enjoy like AC, I don't preorder as there's never any guarantee it'll be good.
