How do the Pre-orders work?

How do the pre-orders work from Greater Than Games?  Do you pay up front or shortly before it ships?  How hard is it to change a shipping address once it is ordered but before it ships?  Trying to balance a move some time later this year with ordering.

Payment is up-front. It's really easy to change the shipping address, though: You just send an email to with your order number and they'll update the address for you.

Thanks for the update.  Sounds good to me.

But will they actually ship it to you?  Without seeing you first, they may think you're dead.  Who knows.

Well...

I contacted Craig to update shipping on my order. Everything was good.

...until the package was delivered to my address in Michigan while I'm in Colorado. Luckily, I've got a cousin watching the house so the package got in the house instead of being left out for months.

Was really hoping for delivery before Christmas, as expected, since I got my son...addicted to the game over Thanksgiving.

Yeah, that was super unfortunate. It appears that several of the addresses that I updated in our system didn't get taken into account by FedEx. I'll be a little more forceful in the future.

Like I said, house was being watched, so it got taken in.
