@sundancer I’d argue that even with physical goods you should not need to pre-order.
It’s not like the new consoles are ‘limited edition’.

The worst part of the pre-order culture that I’ve seen / heard of is people pre-ordering stuff and the shop cancelling the pre-order …

What’s the point of using pre-orders to make an accurate estimate of the production run when you’re not going to use that info ?
Nintendo has pulled that stunt several times …
And even the new console pre-orders apparently suffered from this and then blamed the manufacturer for not supplying them …
(I suspect the #1 reason being that these are not pre-orders but customer-bait … )
