I've pre-ordered from Amazon, but they were mostly movies or anime box sets. I rarely ever pre-order games anymore. I manage to find copies in the stores no problem, even on day 1. I haven't had any issues with Amazon, but you do have to be careful on it regardless. Because of how big it is and because so many people sell through it, if you're not careful you could be giving away banking information. That's why whenever I do order, I always go through trusted sources, namely the companies that are publishing the games and movies themselves.
