The retail guys never know their head from their ass. Pre-orders have been available for quite a while.

Joe, I just spoke with one of their business sales reps (Sacramento store). I do a lot of business with this guy. I asked him to give me some info on V3 backorders. He pulled it up on the computer and said that shipments were set for 20-40 units per store. That number seems low to me considering initial shipments. When Banshee rolled in I saw Fryes unloading hundreds of the little buggers. Looks like a supply problem.
