Oh, I know. Just wait till the 6th. They better prepare themselves. As much as I sometimes delight in looking at the sense of entitlement present there, I need to realize I've got a pre-order too :lol: But, I know there's a slim chance I may have to wait because I didn't pre-order right away, but it's not gonna make me go on and just rant like everybody else.

Still no email update from Amazon on my pre-order either.

I'm not terribly upset though. As long as it's locked in at $99 I'll wait. Hell, I've waited this long, what's another couple of months?

Why would they send one? Usually, they only notify someone when their item ships.

They typically send an email update if you've pre-ordered a item and the release date changed or a date was previously unavailable. It happens all the time with UDON books.

Amazon has been just notifying those who pre-ordered the earliest, right now as of September, that their items are "shipping soon". More than likely that means those that did pre-order first will be getting their consoles on or near the release date. It doesn't mean that they haven't been shipped yet, but it's good to see that something is being done.

Hey, we just wanted to let you know that one of our line operators has a cousin a few counties over that is a CB fan and he heard some truckers talking about hauling a load of some "hyper mumbo jumbo" stuff, so maybe that's your consoles. *crosses fingers*
Doris from line 5 over in building 47 saw some trucks go by when she was getting breakfast at McDonald's this morning.
Jack is forking them off the truck as I type this. Should have them added to inventory and sorted by 5:30 today.
Mary just packed up 50 of these babies into boxes, I think yours was in that batch. Hopefully you're playing soon. *smoochies*

News!

Hyperkin finally breaks about a weeks worth of silence.

More people on Amazon are getting shipping updates on their pre-orders as late as February!

HK Mktg has gotten back to us, and says a new container of black units is on its way here in the next couple days, and they're going to Amazon.

So all you Amazon pre-orders out there, hold onto hope, and possibly let us know if you get a notification!
