What are the pros of per-ordering? I can't think of any other than promotional DLC that is normally worthless.
If you buy at shops like Green Man Gaming you can save $12 or so at launch.
Drawback is no refund if it's shit
There are also the pre-order bonuses, like cool skins or early access. Caveat emptor on the actual value proposition.
You mean access to locked content unless you pay sight unseen. Hardly a benefit.
