I like the colours independently but I'd much prefer them to be a set rather than opposite... I'll pre order one anyway just to be safe.

Atari Jaguar wrote: » I didn't, but in fairness I didn't email them either. Rang the head office number they close at 4 so hopefully someone will answer. If not I'll call up my local store and ask them to check their computer because the email said they weren't showing up in stores but should be now. I'm not bothered if it isn't showing up, because I'll drop the deposit on a new order today, since it's definitely going for day one launch as long as it's ordered before tomorrow.
