Face it, most customers do not care about having to be online every 24 hours or used games. Why? Because they don't even know about it. You, me, and the other people who really get into this stuff do, but at retail for the people who don't, the absolutely only thing on the planet that is affecting their decision is the $100 price difference. Plain and simple.
I sorta get what you're saying, but the majority of people preordering right now are those people who cared about that stuff and followed it closely. The general consumer will not think about a preorder until it smacks them in the face later in the fall.
