Will you get the game regardless (unless it's utter crap)?
Will you get the game relatively soon, or in months time when it will likely be on special?
No extra charge. You have to put money down to reserve, $5 minimum. If you cancel the reservation, you forfeit the deposit.

I might pay the $5 to secure the pre-order freebies, then decide on whether to get the game after reading some reviews. If I don't buy it, it's only $5 down the drain. I don't know if there is a timeframe to purchase before you forfeit the deposit.
