I only pre-order limited or special editions, things that I worry will sell out. NIS America releases or maybe Atlus releases. I generally don't pre-order other things.
I'm gonna add to the chorus of people who buy digital games, but only if there's no physical, retail release. Otherwise, I'll buy the disc or cartridge. I prefer physical discs because they can be loaned out or returned for credit, just like everyone else is saying, but at the same time, I don't want to miss out on great digital-only games.
In order for me to buy a game digitally that is also is available at retail, it'd have to be much, much cheaper, like half the price. The only game I bought digitally that was also available at retail was Animal Crossing New Leaf, and that was because I knew I'd be playing it about every other day so it just made sense to have a digital copy easily accessible.
@Xalbador40 Interesting. I've never had an Xbox system, so what makes their achievement system better than Sony's trophies? I like that the trophies are tiered (bronze, silver, gold, platinum), whereas Microsoft's achievements seem to just be flat points. So with Sony, you can quickly scan to see how a player got his/her points. What are features of Microsoft achievements?

So what's the different between Jamestown+ and Jamestown+ Complete? I bought Jamestown+ and don't believe I saw an option for Jamestown+ Complete.

Being able to delete 0% trophy games seems great.
