A credit card is required for pre-order, but your card will not be charged until your order is shipped or the product is made available for download. However, an authorisation hold or small temporary charge may be placed on your credit or debit card as a result of your pre-order. Note that we cannot charge your card and complete your order if your card expires between the date you pre-ordered the item and the date the item becomes available. Please ensure that your billing and contact information is current at all times.
