Just to make things easier for us Northern folk, I figured that we might as well have our own separate thread so we know what the hell's gonna be going down.
Answers from store clerks/managers are ranging from "No preorders at all, ever" to "Call back later today"... *apparently* there's a conference call occuring later on, but it's not 100% confirmed, so we'll see what happens.
I'll try to get ahold of all the local stores near the end of the day, just in case they need some time to get everything straightened out, but if you guys get any new info at all, please be sure to post it in here - I'm sure we'll all appreciate it very, very much.
And CALL CALL CALL!!!
