Pre-Order CE's from Best Buy?

[Toasty the Baker]

I've heard quite a few horror stories of Best Buy canceling pre-orders of CE's long after they sell out, leaving people out in the cold. Of what I've heard they have a bad habit of selling more than they'll actually receive.

Share your experience with pre-ordering from Best Buy. Even though I get 20% off with the Gamer Club membership, I'm still a bit scared to pre-order from them. Has anyone experienced a cancellation? Does anyone have any info on if they have changed their policy to avoid this? Do they still do it, or have they done it, with recent CE's?

I would like to do as much business with Best Buy as possible, so that I save money and rack up points. However, I tend to pre-order CE's from Amazon, as they have a much better track record of not screwing up. I buy standard $60 games from Best Buy mainly.
