News of the GC's fairly successful first 4 minutes in the states sounds good, a little more positive than the relatively unspectacular japanese opening, but it does bring up a couple of questions...
It always seemed a little too soon to be making a pre-order until now. At this stage it still does, but knowing what i'm like - putting it off until it's too late to get one from the first batch to land on our shores, the questions of pre-orders get a little more prominant in the mind.
Being able to afford SR's 20 pounds deposit is never likely to be a problem, but there is so much uncertainty. No fixed release date. No fixed price. Will a pre-order give you any choice of colour? What will the launch colours be here anyway? How fast are pre-order slots going?
For that matter, when will you need to pre-order to be sure of getting one on the release date?
In reality, i'm probably a couple of months ahead of myself raising these questions... but 4 minutes... and the likelihood that if i don't raise these questions now i probably never will...
It sounds like we need someone's help here. Tony....

You could try posting it in the SR Site Bugs and Customer Service forum, you normally get an answer from one of the staff there.
*shrug*
R.S.V.P.
If tony does ever visit these seedy back allies of the forums, maybe you'll be reading this?
How about a response? If not with actual answers, an idea of when answers will be available?
To recap the main questions;
Will there be a choice of pre-ordered gc colours?
Maybe a system of specifying coulour when the release ones are known?
If it is possible, an idea of when i can expect to have to have placed a pre-order to get one on the release?
Will they actually be available for the UK release?
Any system of being able to reserve a release title to arrive with the machine so you're not left with nothing to play on the expensive piece of kit? Or will that be no problem anyway? (Okay, this one only just occoured to me)
I think that's all the questions i have for now.

Heh, in that case I will get a yellow one :d
no, I want orange or black.
And I'm not going to pre-order it - I have not got the money!
I just hope there are enough GC's soon after release!
