An interesting dilemma. I'd tend to treat them like subscriptions - they don't really count.

Of course, in that case, perhaps I was wrong before in saying the pre-orders for items that weren't due out until after your chosen 'no buy' period were OK. It doesn't seem right to not count both cases. One or the other surely counts.
