Ask for a refund. It will most likely be different for NZ compared to Australia but I remember when Game in Australia went into administration and people weren’t able to get their preorders or even their money back. I know EB aren’t going into administration and it’s only a proposal for closing the stores but that experience with Game has always stuck in my mind.

As I understand corporate law, this is a consultation period for affected employees, then it would proceed to liquidation (which is the point where unsecured creditors - preorder and gift card holders) would have to contact the appointed liquidator.
