Pre-ordering movies (or any other product)

I recently pre-ordered "There Will be Blood", and also pre-ordered Louis Malle's "The Fire Within/Le Feu Follet", which is about to be released by the Criterion Collection in May.
It's a great idea because you save cash on the transaction, but the waiting is brutal. Completely brutal. I finally received "There Will be Blood" but now I have to wait another month to get the Malle movie. I'm too impatient for this.

if you aren't advance pre-ordering you are behind the eight-ball.

But is there any way to make the wait more tolerable?

you could upgrade to the premier limited advance pre-ordering, i think you get a big hourglass thingie with an LED "days remaining" display. and you usually get it a day or two sooner than the non-premier limited advance pre-ordering weenies.
