I don't really call a "10% off pre-order" a serious sale, but it is a sign the pre-orders are underwhelming them. Here's the problem (not just for Tomb Raider).

Times are tough, people have smaller piles of entertainment dollars. People are tired of being screwed by half-ass releases hyped through the roof that never get fixed They watch studios firing developers seconds after the release and they know things won't get fixed. Combine those three things and you get a real hesitation by the consumer to pre-order or even pay full price.

I'm willing to pay $60 for a deep immersion cinematic experience with complex story lines, I'll even tolerate a pile of bugs as long as it doesn't block the story line -- but it has to actually *be* that on release.
