Not sure what your point or fear is?

If you preorder you are not charged. Whether there is a hold placed or not is kind of irrelevant unless you have a very low credit limit I suppose.

Why would you preorder? To get it as soon as possible. If you wait till you can purchase it in the stores you will get yours 1-2 months after those who preorder. I really do not see any probable chance of you getting it sooner in a store than if you were to place a preorder today.
