    Preordered White online a few weeks ago~ I remember not preordering SS last year and it being more expensive in-store at GAME D:

    Preordered Pokemon White for £35 about a month ago. I already decided my version since June last year.

    Wow, that's pretty expensive. Amazon and most other sites has BW as around £25 now

    I totally pre-ordered, I doubt I needed too but knowing my luck because I'm in a small town they'd get like 10 copies and of course I'd end up with the copy I didn't want. So I pre-ordered black, everyone I know is getting white so :3

    The gamestop I'm buying it at isn't the one I originally pre-ordered (which I canceled), but I'm like 100% sure I'll get a copy of black because I have like 6-7 gamestops in my city that I'm aware of. The joy of city-life. :D

    Finally decided which version I was getting. Just pre-ordered White £26.99 online from Game.

    I know at least one friend who is getting Black, with the possibility of a 2nd.

    Roll on Friday =D

    Pre-ordered White like two months ago. I hope there is a gift, as I did the same with SS but they were out of the gifts, so I missed out on that.

    I'll just be getting either version (Still haven't quite decided) on release day (4th March here) in-store. I went into GAME earlier today to buy a Wii game and I noticed they're doing Black and White for £26.99, i'm not sure thats in-store or pre-order price but I recommend people buy it from GAME.

    Yeah, I snapped that up earlier online, I can for some reason see it going to £29.99 when it is released.

    I preordered both at the nearest gamestop here,guy tried to push a preorder for the 3ds on me, I explained why I won't get a 3ds anytime soon, due to its battery life, and how practically no games will be coming out until later on this year, its funny, cause I would normally preorder at another video game store,that isn't "pushy", but I had a gift card.

    Oh well thats off topic, in retrospect, I should have just preordered white, but i really wanna see the differences in the towns, and story that is supposedly claimed.
    If worse comes to worse, Ill just play white, and sell black.

    Off topic, I didn't know the other Gamestops were like that, they always try to push things on me as well but I'll hear nothing of it! Before they even start their long sale speech I tell them that I already know what I want. Seems rude but they generally understand if you speak up.

    On topic: I ordered mine about three weeks ago while getting one of the dogs' event, I'm a little disappointed that there will be no figurine for pre-ordering though.

    Ordered a copy of both at my local Gamestop. One for myself and the other for my younger sister.

    Any idea if Gamestop are planning on doing a midnight release for this? I realize the target audience is generally younger kids, but I'm thinking this will be one of the biggest releases of the year.

    I decided to just go ahead and pre-order when I went in to get the WIN2011 Celebi. Black of course, Reshiram FTW.

    I have not pre-ordered the game and I don't intend to. I don't see much point if the game doesn't come earlier (which in my case, it wouldn't).
    I'm just going to go buy it on the day of release. :)
