UPDATE - It’s still up. But, me thinks it’s been up too long to be legit, probably an error. I’ll keep watching it.
Tiger Direct is listing them as avail. It’s been up for over an hour so who knows if it’s a glitch or they still have them.

The order page is still up. That makes at least 5 hours by my estimate. Odds are this is a big mistake and many many people are going to be getting cancellation emails. Reports from people Calling Tiger Direct are supporting both the “oops, didn’t mean for that to be up” theory. But, there remains the outside chance that this presale, or at least part of it, is legitimate. Stay tuned…..
