While I never preorder... I do know that you can have your CC company send you a replacement (with a later expiry date) early to avoid such conflicts of financial interest. Same thing happened when I ordered my mom's laptop... had to get a replacement early just to pay off the computer. Either way, you'll more than likely get the game on launch day.
you will get the SE version on launch no problem, if you dont preorder the CE version, youll be SOL or wait like a month to find one available and lucky if its not a used one and opened, ive had nothing but problems finding CE's when not preordering them, im not a big shopper on ebay either so its really not an option for me
