I am confused (it's so easy...). The SW Tweet above says not available to pre-order. But many others here are saying they just pre-ordered. What am I missing?
 
Another one I'm not really familiar with, but an easy order based on the enthusiastic response it got when it started streaming early. Plus I got a copy of Xpropaganda on ebay for a good price, now I just need Gilbert O'Sullivan for a complete collection.

Yeah, sometimes it doesn't work out to ones satisfaction tho. The last high res disc I bought because of all the QQ excitement was Alan Parsons: The Secret. Quite forgettable & I've only listened to it once. Now this AP was new music at the time & I didn't know what to expect. But ABC is well known to me so even if this isn't my fave album by them, it's close enough. And I knew I would regret it soon enough if I missed out. Thank you fellow enablers!

I believe the misunderstanding is this.

There is no preorder window, meaning they are not taking preorders to make enough copies to fill all preorders made (and then some).

There is a hard 5,000 unit production run. You can preorder this item in order to make sure you get one. If 5,000 preorders come in, there will not be any copies for sale after release date. If there are 2,000 preorders by release date, there will be 3,000 units for sale.

Preorder this now if you want it.

There is no pre-order window, simply because there's no time to wait around for two weeks while we see what the demand is, since the release date is 4 August this has to be manufactured asap. I had to 'pick a number' and go with it. 5k could be spot on, it might not be enough or it might be too high. But I have to make a call based on what I think is reasonable. These decisions aren't just random or designed to annoy people who don't get paid until 'x' date.

Thank you so much for releasing these lovely Blu-rays, Paul! Just ordered ABC. :)

Thanks for the clarification, Paul.
 
This is my very first order from SDE! I'm exploring their site now & I can tell it won't be the last.

PayPal says this show billing as Parallax Studios Limited. When I visit their site it seems to be huge media company & I can't find any connection to SDE. Is there one? Also I looked for an about page on the SDE site & I couldn't find one... maybe the only time I've run across that.

Paul will have to explain that one, but it's always been the same for me. I think Parallax is the company that does the ordering part of the process, and Remedy does the shipping, or so.

Edit: That Parallax you linked has nothing to do with this Parallax. Turns out this is an endeavour of SDE itself, look at the names here: Parallax Studios Limited - Company Profile - Endole
