I just gave in and preordered from www.gp2x.co.uk - it's the same $189.00 US I've seen quoted around and about $14.00 for shipping via sloooow airmail. I figure I'll get mine about 2 weeks after they hit the market but it sounds like there's going to be a small-ish first batch so I'll still get mine before a bunch of people. Anyway, just my 2 cents...
