You preorder (aka give persmission) and then they withdraw when it "ships" or in a digital case, comes out.  That's exactly what amazon does when you preorder except it's physical so you get charged when it ships.

Sounds like a good way to overdraft. I always thought amazon took the money when you ordered too since you get the game on launch day. Meaning, the money must have been taken already because the game isn't sent out the same day you get it.

no.  The money exchanges when it ships which is usually 2 or 3 days before it comes out.  Before that you can cancel at any time.  No money is exchanged until a couple days before the release day.  In other words you would have from now until July 26 to cancel your order and never get charged.

Okay, so think of this as "a few days before its shipped" then. I never preorder because the money sitting wherever to hold onto the copy is not worth it.
