What store is more reliable to get yours? I'm scared that i won't recieve my pre-order at amazon now from all of this "out of stock" reports. .

This is third-hand information so take it with a grain of salt ...

I have been told that many large retailers have adopted policies to prevent allowing excessive pre-orders. The main ones are to only begin pre-orders after they know (approximately) what their initial shipment will be, to limit pre-orders to a fraction of the initial shipment, and to not allow pre-orders if the initial shipment is "too small".

While this is all open to interpretation, from my understanding if a system was only going to have 200,000 to 400,000 units at launch large retailers would (probably) not allow pre-orders; and (unless the system was launching with more than 2,000,000 units) the retailers would not allow more than 50% of the initial shipment to be pre-ordered.

 

Effectively, if you have a pre-order with a large retailer you will probably receive your system.
