I prefer the stores because then I'm guaranteed to get it on release day, because with online purchases there can always be problems with the dispatcher or usually just royal mail, so you end up getting it late. Last year I pre-ordered Bounce online (was also ordering the Back To The Future Trilogy at the time too), and it ended up coming about 5 or 6 days later than the release date. I only ordered it from there because it was only £8.99 though, as online stores are usually always cheaper.
