The pre-order business is always amusing. Even before the game publishers have released final pricing and release dates, retailers both offline and online are more than happy to take your money anyway.
Cue the videogame retail giant that is Gamestop, now taking pre-orders at an expected price of $59.99 for both PS3 and 360 versions. What's surprising (aside from their Rubber Ducky Wii bundle) is the decidedly unexpected humor present in their disclaimer:

Gamestop estimates Final Fantasy XIII's release date as June 21, 2010, and in my experience their estimations are usually more accurate than others.
Amazon.com is also taking pre-orders, although their estimated release date is December 21, 2010.
