You got an email? Lucky!
At 11:40 EST my friend texted to ask if I ordered a pocket. He's into handhelds but knows that I've purchased Analogue's offerings in the past. I was like, "nope, never had a chance." The question was strange because I know he'd asked me this before. Then he tells me preorders went up at 11:00 EST and to quick go order. I won't be surprised to be in group C and will likely cancel if that's the case. I've purchased the Super NT, Mega SG, DAC, and Mini NT Noir from them but unfortunately do not appear to be on their notification list at this point (I did receive the July email for the 8/3 preorder). Oh well.
One thing I'm curious about is how many available units are in groups A & B compared to C.
