well, if you preorder the title and play a downloaded copy... i think that is alright. the game company certainly isn't waiting to use the money you plunked down for their game, why should you wait longer than you must for the code you've already paid for?

seems like the time value of money should make it a legitimate practice to download the code before the physical release.

but, on the other hand... perhaps you sacrifice your preorder money because you are actually purchasing the rights to the first shipments of the game in addition to the game itself. i'm going in circles at the moment.
