Now I'm curious, what was the game?
I am tempted to say Aliens Colonial Marines. That's my guess.
My day 1 purchases vary wildly really, there's no set genres to them. New MMOs I'll typically get at launch day.
Working at a games company also means that the new "big" titles are usually the talk of the office, so that may influence me to buy Day 1 just so I don't potentially get spoilered or anything of the sort.
If it's something multiplayer then I'll more than likely pick it up Day 1 to play with buddies. Single Player games though, it depends on how big of a game it is really. Assassin's Creed used to be a day one purchase for me, but now I can easily wait until Steam Sales etc.
But really, overall I have no issues buying stuff Day 1 - although there's very few I pre-order anymore after Alien Colonnial Marines. I'll usually at least wait until initial reviews start trickling in to get a feel for what critics thing (irrespective of the final score) before shelling over the cash,
Never really been much of a day one buyer. Only games I REALLY want and have been patiently waiting for like Guild Wars 1&2.

What are the reasons for picking them up day 1?
Desperation..
Most of mine are titles that have been localized from Japan. I already have a pretty good idea of what they entail and that I'm going to enjoy them, and a lot of them (due to being "niche" titles) see limited distribution where I live.
I can't think of a single game I bought Day 1 or preordered. It's just not a huge priority for me to get it quickly. I'll get it when I get it.
