I have never wanted to buy a new system at launch so, I need a little help here. When do new systems usually start allowing Pre orders? Is it right after E3 or will be like right before they release the system? Are there lots of other people planning to do this?

This is a General question about Gaming, they happen when the seller feels like it.
Gamestop usually don't announce a price and take pre-orders until their supplier tells them the trade price, and they can calculate their sale price.

I would believe that you could start pre-ordering as soon as the official price is announced.

What we do is, if we ever need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do?
We put the volume up to eleven. One louder.

Once a placeholder is down, you can get a pre-order.

I am pretty sure you can pre-order the Wii U at GameStop. You are required to put down $20 down on it if you want to do this.
I am referring to GameStops in the US. Just wanted to clear that up.
Also, one more thing, you really should be more specific in the starting post of this thread. You didn't mention what system you even want to pre-order. (But this isn't that big of a deal, just look at the name o the forums and you will find out what system that post is referring to.)

Sorry, haha I figured it was a given cause it was in the Wii U forums. But I understand!

Are you sure you can pre-order right now from gamestop?
Everything's done with computers, they probably can't accept pre-orders yet. you should try it.

That too, my mistake.
I will go to GameStop this weekend and ask if they will be taking pre-orders at the moment.
I will get back to you guys ASAP.

I can almost swear that they told me I could pre-order it. (I asked about a month ago approximately.)

If you're desperate to get one pre-ordered.
Zavvi are great, and that price is just a place-holder, you'll pay the lowest price is goes to before shipping to you, at which time they'll charge you.
Postage is slow though, also it's a European model.

hahaha I think I will wait. I just want to make sure I know the date so I can get it before they run out of pre orders

You could pre-order now. But wait till E3 for a price announcement. Otherwise places like Gamestop could overcharge you a pre-order price just to make more money and you wouldnt even now that your giving them extra money. Wait till day after E3. Thats what im doing.

Koppai's Best

I'm sure a couple of weeks before the release is when you get to pre-order it.
Hi, my name is Alph. I live on a planet named Koppai. I am famous for saving my planet from starvation. My best friends are Brittany and Captain Olimar, NOT Captain Charlie. I like surfing the KopNet and playing Kopetball.

Alright, I asked at my GameStop, they said they will start taking pre-orders 2-3 months before the actual release date.
I will go to the other GameStop in my area soon and ask there also, and will let you guys know how that goes also.
