How do pre orders work? You'll go into store and put down at least $5 on the game. Then when it comes out your copy will be guaranteed at whichever gamestop you pre ordered it at. You pay how much ever is remaining between cost of the game and your pre order deposit.
Preordered games that have been released are still eligible for a refund, as long as the refund request is submitted within two weeks of the game's release, and the game has been played for less than two hours.
As long as the preorder is still available, it is always a good idea to preorder. It's a guarantee and it doesn't cost anything extra. For smaller titles, we usually get the exact amount we get preorders for, if we're lucky, one extra. You can preorder the day before.

A pre-order is an order placed for an item that has not yet been released. Pre-orders allow consumers to guarantee immediate shipment on release, manufacturers can gauge how much demand there will be and thus the size of initial production runs, and sellers can be assured of minimum sales.
