A pre-order is an order placed for an item which has not yet been released. The idea for pre-orders came when people found it hard to get popular electronics in stores due to their popularity, companies were given the idea to allow people to reserve their own personal copy, which has been a huge success.

Basically, you pay for an item before it is released to ensure you get it. The store, company, etc. will hold or reserve the item. For example, if there's a book coming out that will most likely be a huge seller, like the 7th Harry Potter book, most bookstores will offer pre-orders to customers so that they can be certain to get a copy if the store sells out of the product, in this case the book.

to buy a product before it is actually sold in stores. if you do this, you are guarnateed to recieve the product before others who go to the store can buy it...
example: if you pre-order a copy of madden 07, you will get it with ease and will not have to worry about long lines or it being sold out.
keep in mind that most "pre-orders" have a extra fee attached.

once you pre-order a interest, the area to procure it from will carry onto a replica for you and basically you. So relatively you determining to purchase a interest months till now it comes out, you in lots of cases do no longer might desire to pay the finished cost once you first pre-order it yet you will might desire to pay all of it off once you pass and %. it up on the launch date.

It means you order it in advance. You can preorder DVDs that havent been released yet to ensure you get a copy on the release date.

You order a product that hasn't been manufactured yet. In essence you get "dibs" in the order of "pre-orders."

That you paid for the mentioned item before it's released to the market and, of course you'll be the one of the first people to get such item

Order it (like a movie) before it's released.
