[quote name='Dareb']Ah, thanks for all this. Just one more thing, though- I've never pre-ordered a game on Amazon before. The $5 pre-order is the same on Amazon as retailers, right? And do I have to pay a seperate shipping fee of $4?[/QUOTE]
Amazon doesn't charge you at all until it ships out. So you don't pay anything until they ship it to you.
As for the shipping fee, you can select free super saver if you don't have Prime. It's standard UPS Ground shipping, which arrives after 3-4 business days usually. Oh and don't forget to use the ODST code (which can be found in the Video Game Deal section... if it still works) to get an extra $5 Amazon Game Credit. The code can be input during checkout.
