I am in the same timezone as them and posted my questions the first time shortly after the preorder start.
Also, when I schedule the start of a preorder, especially for a high profile and sensitive item like this, I would factor in some time for customer questions and feedback.
You should have posted your questions 2 days before, when they announced that there is a 2nd batch coming.
And what difference please would that have made in your opinion? Did they loose their fingers or online access since then? What if I just saw this thread, had only a "few minutes" until batch #2 might be sold out and wanted to get in? Just because I preordered and intend to follow through (read: pay for it) I still do have some questions which would ease my mind and simply would like to get answered when I spend $7000 out front on a product.
And jeeez, get off your high horse, just because you rubbed dicks with the 2 guys doesn't mean you can command or propose when a customer can or should have asked questions about a product. Are you even a customer with them?
Sorry for my tone but I'm getting a little pissed now defending why, when or what I ask... to which I still haven't gotten an answer to.
