Why are we calling it a pre-order? We ordered them. Pure and simple. It's not like we put our names on a list and could change our minds in a month or six months when the product becomes available.
Then what's the difference between an order and a pre-order? If I order something online, it normally takes a week (sometimes more) for the item to be delivered. But it's not a pre-order, even though it's something I cannot buy in a store.
