He'll be on order next week by a new pre-order method. Be sure to read your newsletter this week carefully.
If you scroll down the Anakin preview page you can see the instructions, date and time for priority pre-ordering. There will also be more information sent out in a FLASH newsletter on Wednesday 12/14, if all goes according to plan
One thing I want to point out to everyone - you will not be able to set a password for your newsletter account until you get your newsletter from this week. Within it, there will be a link that will direct you to the password set-up. Once you've set it up, you can always use that link from your newsletter to get into the NL account. This link will NOT work for others if you copy and paste it (as far as I understand), so you must get at it through your newsletter, it is based on your subscription. The newsletters were sent out pretty late Pacific Standard Time tonight, so they will be arriving later than normal. But it should give everyone enough time to get their accounts set up before next Friday.
Once your newsletter password account is set-up, using the same email as you normally receive your newsletter at, you just need to make 100% sure that your email address in your SSC user account (the account you use to actually make the purchase) is EXACTLY the same. You can update your email address very easily in the user account interface. This is KEY to priority pre-ordering, as the system will cross-check your email address to make sure you are a newsletter subscriber before allowing you to order during the time set up for the priority pre-orders (about 2 hours).
Also, the Pre-Order Survival Guide is a good resource for tips come pre-order day:

Hope this helps, and if you have more questions, this is the best place to ask them!
Oh, and if those of you who post on multiple boards could make sure that everyone else understands the process as well, that would be much appreciated
With change comes confusion - and we want to try to alleviate as much of that as possible! Thanks.
