That you have to decide for yourself, and it probably also depends on what the bonus is. Functionally they are bribing you to choose the worse choice for you. The bribe might be worth it. If the game turns out payable and stable, it’s all good. If it’s a buggy mess, unfinished or you need to wait for like 5 patches anyway, was it still worth it?
To me there are also very few games that I need to play the moment they come out. I probably can’t finish my backlog of games in my life time as it is, so a few days or even months wouldn’t change much for me. Is rather wait and not fall into the marketing trap of “but free stuff”.
What if it comes with a bonus like GTA4 remastered for pre ordering?
