I've ordered at play Asia before as well, and never had to do that, now you've got me worried.... I hope it wasn't a phishing email.. and thanks Matt, that is cheaper

That's not phishing, they just want to check if your credit card is legit. Of course when they asked me that I said fuck it and I paid with paypal. The bad thing is that you have to pay upfront when you pre order something.

There was 1 online store which I POed one of the AC3 CEs from last year.. Can't remember which one.. (That's how many CEs I bought) which I paid via PayPal and they sent me an auto-payment invoice so my PayPal wasn't charged until release date and then my PayPal automatically paid the invoice.

I thought that was pretty cool but I wasn't expecting it. I couldn't figure out why my payment didn't go through and I mailed them to ask if my order went through. They told me not to worry and said my order has been processed.. I think it was JB Hi-Fi, the one with the Pewter figures promo..

yeah some sites do that. You pre order and then on release date you receive an automated email with a pp invoice. You pay, they confirm the order and ship the item. If you don't pay the site cancels the order automatically after X days.
