You’ve made your mind up not to purchase the game on day one, but GameStop comes along and announces that anyone preordering the game will receive an “exclusive” set of DLCs and items that won’t be available at any time else. While there’s a good chance that you’ll be able to eventually acquire the exclusive bonuses after release (see: Assassin’s Creed 3’s Hidden Secrets DLC pack) there’s a slim chance that the items are every bit as exclusive as the retailer says they are (see: Halo 4).
Granted, it doesn’t make any difference whatsoever to your overall experience of the game, but having an empty slot where content should be feels like you’re missing out on something that you’d otherwise be able to experience.
