Preorders Have Started. (Previously named starts in two hours)


So, I was able to buy it using paypal, thanks to the voucher trick, and I received an email with another voucher code, I suppose I'll have to use it when the time comes.

Also, do I have to ask my position ? I found nothing in the mails... I suppose near 500

Do I have to give my real date of birth when putting in my pre-order? I have never made an online purchase before where they want my DOB. (USA dude here)

I believe it was an optional field as there isn't an asterisk on it... I filled it out, but I trust EvilDragon, despite the Evil in his name.
 
Yes, D.O.B really stands for dead or behave... Seriously I never filled out that part and my order is secure.
 
I assume I'll be able to ship to different address then the address I use for my billing info

You can set that up when you order yes, it's part of the order process, on it's own page.
It will look like this:

Extrapolating the current ratios to 1,000 preorders gives ~500 EU 4G and ~150 US ones. At 1,500 preorders it will be ~750 EU vs. ~250 US modules. Currently it looks like there have to be around 3,000 preorders to reach the MOQ for the US 4G module.

Looks like the best play is worldwide 3g. Or the EU gets 4g and the US gets 0g
 
Hey, dragonbox shop is way cheaper than Wheel of Fortune. For 400 bugs only I've got 18 letters and digits - several vowels among them. :happy:

The voucher eMail calling what I purchased just a "gift voucher" irritates me, though. All fine?
 
At least in Germany vouchers are tax-free. And I think, that was stated at the shop.
I never actually thought about this but makes sense. It would definitely suck a lot if you would pay tax for the voucher AND then again for whatever you buy with the voucher.

I actually have had to pay tax on gift cards that were then taxed again when used.
 
So the second 24 hours of pre-orders is now up.

It seems we got :

350 Pre-orders the first 24 hours (350)
79 Pre-orders in the second 24 hours. (429)

I'm not sure if anyone mentioned this one above, but it looks like that theverge article may be based on this one:

That's how it works in the tech news industry. One site posts a story , then the rest use the story via syndication , just jazz it up a little or most times use it word for word.

That's why I wrote into Lilliputing , you get it on the smaller sites (comparatively), and the chance the big sites pick it up(via syndication), increases.
