    Why would you preorder something without having the money to buy it? And if you knew you had a grace period, why would you not save for it?

    People just don't know how to save money these days.

    Because it is a pre-order. Why do people use credit cards if they know they don't have the money for something or other forms of credit or reservation? Because they know they will have it when the time comes to actually pay the bill.

    Considering you have no knowledge of people's financial situations, budgets, or savings I find it quite comical that you feel like you can make such a statement. Who says me and others weren't saving for it? People are complaining because this was announced to take place much earlier than the information they were given on pre-order would have them believe. If more accurate information was given, I for instance, might not have even made the pre-order until later or shuffled some of my budget around to accommodate. But since they gave what a lot of us believe is misleading information I no longer have as many options available to me. That is what people are upset about. Not everyone has up to $130 extra to spend on 5 days notice. People have other responsibilities/commitments outside a leisure activity that come first.
