Just an FYI for everyone who has questions about Best Buy's pre order policy this year. From what I have read people have had good and bad experiences with them. Hopefully each year they learn a bit more from previous mistakes 
. I have put my trust in them this year hoping to get one before October!
"If a customer didn't pre-order a new iPhone 5, will Best Buy have any available for non-pre-order sales?
All available inventory will be used to fulfill pre-orders first. Only after the store has confirmed that they have more than enough to fulfill all pre-orders will they allow one to be sold without a pre-order."
