Pre-ordered both copies in October (or November?), and I will be rushing out on release day to pick them up. I'll also pre-order the third game (and then rush out to get it) as soon as possible. Oh, and I tried to pre-order the guide as well, but they weren't listed at the time. :/ I'm really psyched for this release. 8Dd

Preordered White already...last weekend I think. (b'-')b
But I'm in no rush to get it like, when Gamestop opens, but I will surely be getting it on the day it comes out.

Well since the game comes out on the 10th for me, and I get money the day before, I will most likely get it the day it comes out. I'm yet to preorder it, but that will be done in due time. :D

I preordered both of them when I went to get my Shiny Raikou. I am hoping that I'll still be able to get the Wall-Clingon-Thingies when I go to pick them up in March. I have no idea which game I'll be using as a main game, probably Black.

Getting it the day it comes out.

If I recall correctly, the pre order gift for Black and White in Japan were DS screen cleaners coordinating with the mascot of the version you got.

Actually, if I remember correctly, it was a keychain that would cry the mascot of whatever game you got plus the screen cleaner if you bought both.

I pre-ordered them already, but I voted for rushing out on release date because I'll get them around 1 PM (my time-table says I am free that day on 12:10 AM :D And I need to cycle around one hour, so. ), then I'll deliver the White copy to my little bro (who still has school then :P ) And then I'll rush to my home to play it the whole day :) And when my bro comes home I'll laugh at him and spoil him the story-line from how far I am then plus I'll PWN him with battling because my Pokémon will have higher levels as his then :D

If possible, I'll get the games when they arrive. If not, I'll try to wait it out and buy them later. Of course, I'll check the reviews.

I voted earlier, but I intend to purchase either White (and maybe Black - or later on) when the release date hits. Sadly for Australia, it's later than UK/US :(

y'know, If I can end up saving enough money for a DSi and Pokemon White, I will probably punch down a preorder. Although, the DSi might have to wait, seeing as it will be ALOT more than Pokemon White, So I might be able to get a Preorder in. :)

I'm thinking of pre-ordering... But I most likely will just go on the release day and buy them that way. Don't really care about the pre-order items, as they will be buried somewhere in my room anyways.

I'm waiting to pre order to see if they'll release some promo item like the ho-oh and Lugia statues they did for HGSS and the Dialga and Palkia Styluses for DP. I forget what they gave out for Platinum. But I will wake my family up and rush over to Gamestop on the 6th.

I preordered the two games as soon as I could. On the release day, I'm going to head over to GameStop after work and get the games. (That is, if I can remember where I put the receipt!)

I will buy it either when I have time to go to the store. Or when I actually have free time on my hands to play.
