I don't understand why anyone would ever pay in advance. Zero benefits, greatly increased risk and loss of interest on the funds (however small).
Not if you pay with a credit card

Anyone paid for their pre order in full yet?
Im with Shopto and not sure whether to just pay up and forget about it, or if I should wait. I suppose theres no advantage either way!

What's the advantage of paying early?
I guess I am unfairly assuming people aren't morons who input their credit card details/address incorrectly and thus get their payment declined.
If the company goes bust, you can still get your money back as the credit card company are equally liable.
However, if you've entered the card details incorrectly, then that's not going to happen.
I understand your point about credit card protection, but why ever pay early?
