Very doubtful it will be the 3rd, especially if Turnkey the UK Access disty are not getting theirs until the 10th.
I emailed my guy at Digi village brum to ask when they expected stock (Iam no 2 on pre-order there btw
and he said they hadnt even been told it was being released yet, and earliest was Feb 2006 lol.
Either way I seriously doubt there will be many people that have one in the UK in the first week if any.
