Just trying to talk about my experience.

There's a difference between those of us who pre-ordered on BestBuy.com either with free shipping or as an in-store pickup... and those who went to Best Buy and pre-ordered in person.

From what all of use know about Best Buy, online pre-orders and store pre-orders should be completely separate, as BestBuy.com and Best Buy stores technically operate as separate entities.

The only reason you can buy something at BestBuy.com and pick it up in store is BestBuy.com has access to Best Buy stores (mostly) real-time inventory.

So, when people say they were "the first" to pre-order at Best Buy, it's because they went in and pre-ordered at the store (I did that with an iPad 2 when they first were released). Those of us who pre-ordered at BestBuy.com have no clue, except for the email receipt we have confirming our preorder.
