Wagner, Your preorder is being prepared for shipment. Your credit card will be charged when the product(s) will be shipped and you will receive a Shipment confirmation email from us. Your order details Order number : 10**** Order date : 26.10.2009 The rest is my card info and order detail. I did initially pre-order on 9-13-09 I had to do the whole cancel and reorder thing that is why the date 26.10.2009 is shown. I just checked my credit card and the cost of my order has been deducted from my available balance. I have not once had a hold on my card while waiting from the second reorder. My initial pre-order they put a hold on every weekend. So mine will be shipping very soon. cool.
