these are the types of questions and concerns that come up from people who throw money at something then cross their fingers that the company can stay in business long enough for them to deliver their product. It's the business model that is flawed. This pre order BS is what is making people unsettled. You can say what you want about Stern, but if they go under today, there are not going to be tons of collectors that loose a ton of money who have pre-ordered something. I can see why people are concerned and how frustrating it must be for those people who have not recieved their game that they ordered in 2011 and 2012. Personally I could never buy something that expensive without actually seeing it, even if its just a simple youtube vid.
