Are you trolling? (Destiny)

You should just do what I do and never ever pre-order. Just wake up at 8am, walk into the store, and buy the game. Or, go to Best Buy at midnight since there are never any lines and you can walk in and out in about 8 minutes.

Can't be enticed or disappointed by pre-order bonuses if you make a policy not to pre-order.

I often do, or if I do pre-order it's so I have it on release day, and that is the perk. The lesson from this example is clear: don't make allow ‘perks’ advertised for pre-ordering to influence your purchase decision, as even a company you used to admire like Bungie isn't averse to bullshitting you in order to score a pre-order sale.
