So, anybody know what's going on?  I had $15 off the price using Bill Me Later and free shipping (Amazon Prime trial); not very happy at the moment.

I also think they cancelled the preorder to prevent hughe backshipments once they found out of the scanline problems.  In my opinion however anyone that call this a feature or added value should go to he cuocou clinic and have a chekup...   I would not sell those 3000 models if I would be a retailer, just to prevent all those long and meaning less discussions that you know are heading your way.  It is like sitdown on a fire ants nest ...
