I just called my Gamestop to see if I could still pre-order and they kind of laughed and said no. I asked how it looks if you did not pre-order.
The guy on the other line said, " do not expect to see any until February on shelves "
Ouch .... OUCH.
Quickly called Wal-Mart, Best Buy, Frys, etc. and got the same story over and over. Can't pre-order still, and do not expect to see anything on shelves for awhile.
AUGHHHH
BUT, I did find Game Trade, a little local shop down the road like a wanna-be Gamestop that said they are taking pre-orders up until the 7th. I asked if those are guaranteed Day 1 type of things and he said no. Just gets you in the line.
