5 Know What You Want and When
This seems obvious, but it’s still important to note: know what you want beforehand. In the mad frenzy that is attempting to score a preorder, you can’t afford to waste a precious few seconds on last-minute color or storage capacity decisions. Decide what you want now.
Similarly, figure out when preorders become available in your area. If you’re in California or on the West Coast of the U.S., for example, preorders will start at 12:01 a.m. local time. If you’re on the East Coast, preorders become available at 3:01 a.m. local time. Use a time converter or world clock to figure out when preorders go online in your time zone.
