Rob Fahrni had a problem at Borders with his pre-order:

My mom spoke to a kid at Target that had the exact same problem I did with my Border pre-order. He called to confirm his order, they didn't have a copy set aside for him. So, how many people didn't get their copies on Friday night because Borders, and Amazon, didn't come through?

Which sounds weird. Does Borders policy differ by region? At the local one here, pre-orders got color coded wrist bands based on when they showed up to the line (we got there about 11 PM, so my daughter ended up in the 3rd group in). I didn't pre-order, but they told me two things:

• People like me got red
• We all would get books (they had tons), we just had to wait longer

That second bit is why we got home around 3 AM - because I didn't think to pre-order 2 (and yes, my daughter did tell me I should have :) )
