Pre-ordering things is trashy....

You are paying for the security of getting that product on day one. The price of that security is the opportunity cost of that money.

god you suck

This is why video games are starting to suck. Because we pre-order and we get incomplete games.

you're an idiot. there are plenty of exceptions

It's no different than going to a convenience store rather than a grocery store or buying a single 12 ounce coke instead of a 2 liter bottle. We are constantly sacrificing some small amount of money, which is the cost of something else, usually convenience.

there is a reason to give no interest loans to companies and government?

love to hear that idiotic logic.

Next ordering will be trashy, since you lost X amount of days of opportunity cost from ordering to arrival.

If the $500 you spent pre-ordering something is putting a damp in your personal budget, you're doing it all wrong anyway

Sadly, you still missed the concept of compound interest.
