Pre-Order Specials 4/29/2911

It has become something of a main-stay for video gamers to be rewarded for plunking down their hard-earned money well before release date of a major game. But, with so many businesses now doing preorder, who has the best deal?

Well, welcome to the new monthly special here at Frugally Fabuloso. I will endeavour, each month, to list out what games are released for the month, how much and what deals everyone has going on for preorder. I will be listing the games by release date, then alphabetically by both name and console. Let's get started shall we?
