Me...I couldn't care less about the hype of pre-ordering or such.  I recall the same sort of things with P5 and P6, AND the hassles and complaints that spewed forth when folks actually GOT their copies..all the flames about what a shitty product it was, etc, etc. Personally..I'll sit back...and not even consider purchasing unil at least 12 months after release, when they have , hopefully, patched the inevitable bugs that will show up. Unless there is a particular feature in  P7 that one absolutely MUST have, NOW..thats a different proposition.
