Question about Pre-Orders. When exactly do they start charging? The day of the release. or is it a few days in advance?

They charge whenever it ships.

Depends on the shipping speed you chose. I believe release day delivery ships on Monday, so you'll charged Monday. If you chose free super saver shipping it could be anywhere from release day to a week until it ships.

Anybody know if I could use promotional certificates for pre ordering??

Ah okay, i did the 1 Day shipping on both. Never done game pre-orders on Amazon, and since i have 2 things coming out at once wanna make sure all the funds are set.

Thanks for quick reply

You chose one day shipping? Isn't that like $10 or something? Release day delivery is only 99 cents (or free with Prime).

I was able to get my one day shipping charge for the tournament edition waived for having prime and for it not having release date delivery, you should contact support and try it.

I ordered Portal 2 about 3 days ago to ship to me on release date, it still hasn't been shipped out does anyone know when Amazon usually ships games out?

Wow, the lady i talked to failed. She basically said "Its not available now, so i cant check". Worth trying again later? Or would it be impossible for them to do something now.

No go for me, got a call from Amazon and the guy said that the option isnt available for this one <_<.

when will the $20 credit for portal 2 expire? I just traded in my pokemon heartgold for $20 and I plan to use it on Portal 2 but they won't get it until tuesday and I want that $20 credit to use for LA Noire.

If I remember correctly, promotional credit usually lasts a year

I mean when is the last day to buy portal 2 with the $20 promotional preorder credit?

They usually take it off the day of release, but it has stayed for an extra day or two for some releases (i.e. Bulletstorm). If you really want the credit I wouldn't risk it though.

Hoping to see $15 credit for MK before the game ships.

Both Portal 2 and MK9 shipped for me today. I guess Amazon didn't want to budge Portal's price.
