I put full money down on the Pre-Order at GameStop. GameStop is a huge retailer for publishing companies and has a very comprehensive pre-order program which coordinates with game companies often.
There's a computer record of my pre-order at GameStop. I have a bank statement with my purchase recorded, and have the receipt in a dark and cool place in an unused closet next to an Atari 2600 box in a house that I've lived in for 14 years.
I know the manager at my GameStop and my friend works there. When the Collector's Edition is announced it will be a very simple matter to upgrade my Pre-Order status to the Collector's. I'm going to be spending this money anyways. But now when the game comes out. I have less headache and stress.
This is good for the game since pre-orders allow them to figure out exactly how many units they should publish and expect to sell on release. This allows companies like GameStop to coordinate their handling of pre-orders more smoothly.
I don't get what all the negativity against pre-ordering is. Maybe if I was 12 or couldn't afford it then I guess I would allow nominal negative logic to sway me into believing, "Yeah, not preordering is the smartest thing I could ever do!"
Well, you don't know what versions will be available and the pre-order will most likely cover the base version of the game. Some people will opt for the Collector's Edition, Special Edition, etc. instead.

Watching 240 guys talk trash about cavaliers is like two retards having a slapfight over a sippy cup.
If you Pre-Order the game from GameStop it will be for the base version. When other editions (collector's or special) are announced. You can very easily upgrade your Pre-Order to any addition you like. Which is what I'm doing. What's good is if I don't upgrade though, my Pre-Order is still accounted for and paid for.
Yep. A few days ago i went to the game stop in my mall, and pre-ordered it. I also know the manager. He is going to upgrade me to the Collectors edition for me as soon as it comes available.
You should never wait to pre-order a game u really want. I had to go to 7 dif stores just find a copy of Halo 3 when it first came out...
I too am weary of preordering games like that. I wonder how fast they would end up shipping the game to you and how much next day shipping would cost. I think its funny how some places will charge you almost as much for rush shipping as you pay for what you're buying.
