But I suppose this relates to normal online/mail order etc purchases no? I'm not sure what this $100 was supposed to guarantee at the beginning. Was it a standard pre-order or some sort of kickstarter deal as the revised terms seem to indicate? If the latter I suspect the card scheme might reject the chargeback...

Yeah I guess the fact it's a "preorder" probably does protect them..
