or, as an alternative to the question MattDroz made, what is the possibility of pre-ordering and being able to pick it up *at* Gen Con from your wonderful booth if delivery pre-Gen Con is questionable?
Answered before - If you pre-order, it will ship to your regular shipping address. However, if you wait and purchase it at Gen-Con, they can charge it to your Paizo account as if you ordered it. This way you do not need to take extra money. (This was the way they did it for me at Origins last year.)
Being a subscriber and someone who's going to be at GenCon, what are the chances that my Pre-Order will arrive on Tuesday before I head out to the 'Con?
Hopefully we'll be able to begin shipping them out a week or so ahead of the release date, but odds of you receiving it three days early are fairly low.

Thank you Charles, but that's not exactly what I meant by my question.
I was talking about pre-ordering it for pick up at Gen Con, in a scenerio where my copy was held due to pre-payment and I did not have to worry about sell-out runs or fighting through crowds of people to get the book. I'd be interested in something like "for pick-up by close on Friday or the tagged copy goes into the -for-sale- bin".
Not to mention there may be incentives given for pre-orderers which I would want to take part in (like the free PDF idea, if that's what happens) which the "just buy at Gen Con" doesn't cover.

The Paizo staff answered this before. Pre-Orders will be shipped to your mailing address. They will not hold it for you at Gen-Con.
I hate that it is possible for any reviewer to review any product in the online store before it is released, and I agree that it is inappropriate and does not serve the community well. Is it possible to delete such reviews and close the product off from reviews until it is released?
Preventing early reviews isn't worth the effort—and it *is* possible that sometimes people have early access to the finished product anyway. However, I agree that it's inappropriate for people who haven't examined the product to post ratings, so I've left the "reviews" but deleted the ratings.
And it is one of the big things they are bringing out at Gencon so I expect even if they had it in July - it would still be the August unveiling... That and the first PRPG Adventure Path.The release date is August 13—the first day of Gen Con.
The pdf should be put up for this sooner than usual. Not on the day, becasue that would break the website, but within a week really.
Any word on when the subscription is announced?

There is a lead up to that question, 'what other core books will they publsh?'
Elsewhere on the board, Erik Mona intimated that they would announce subscri[tions when they had a firm idea of what other core books they would be publishing; and that the end of PaizoCon (June 14th) would be a good time for such an announcement.

Good stuff, thanks!

You might recall that PDFs become available for sale on the retail release date of the associated print product. So August 13 is the day for the PDF as well.
(Subscribers should be getting the PDFs shortly before that, when their subscriber copy ships.)
And no matter how many times people ask, the answer on when we'll announce subscription details is going to be "soon," right up until we announce it.

Okay, thanks very much!
I was thinking less about spiolers and more like "we didn't really like how. . . . played out, so don't get to into using it", or "Too many people didn't like how this worked, so we are looking at going to this. . . ."
But it's cool, I can wait.
Look to the blog for lots of this stuff. I think it may even begin this week.
What is the best way to support this release? Should I pre order, buy it online after it comes out, buy it from my local gaming shop or get it from a con? Does it make any difference? I want to do my bit in making it the greatest release ever!!!!
[Sarc]buy a copy each place[/Sarc]
Seriously, buy it where ever, but if you have a FLGS, I'd say offer to run some demo games. Bonus if you use some of their 3pp or Paizo d20 stuff to show the people playing (and the FLGS) that there's still a market and a viable game system for stuff that's not 4e.

My FLGS doesn't stock Paizo's products, but I'm personally trying to change that (all the other local GMs order directly from Paizo, I believe). I chat with staff and other customers, and I hoping the word spreads, because 4E isn't selling here (apparently it sells less than 3E products ever did).
