Some times it actually pays to pay in advance. I ordered the Fanatec 911 Turbo S wheel a couple of months ago and got this mail today.
"Dear Forza fans,
The Fanatec 911 Turbo S wheel will be presented by Microsoft with the game Forza Motorsport 3 at the E3.

This game is a milestone in the racing game genre and not just an update of FM2.
The development of the wheel has been delayed one more time so that we will ship your order at the end of September. Some betatester will get it before that date.
The good news is that we will give you the game FM3 for free as soon as it is available. So beside the discount you already got you are now getting a AAA full price game as well.
This offer is only valid if you already paid or pay until 5.6.2009.
Best regards
Thomas Jackermeier".
