I think they will play around with the price a bit pretty soon, so they try to get alot of preorders for the current preorder price. How to do that? Easy, tell the impatient customers it will arrive very soon and they will preorder it ASAP, before it could be too late.(Or that's at least what they are thinking )
I'm still not sure whether to preorder it for 498€ at alternate or wait up to 2-3 months after it has been released, where a 2nd pricedrop should already happen.
But I have already ordered. They gain nothing by fibbing to me, other than losing their reputation for quality. The only reason I chose them over other suppliers is because I trust them, and have dealt with them without problem for many years.

I can see the point about leaving the date wrong on the main page - but I don't see they gain anything by lying to me. In fact, if they set back the date after I called them this close to it to check, they stand a risk of me cancelling and buying elsewhere. And if they lose my book and dvd custom, (not to mention that of all my friends and family), they lose something. I'm sure Amazon can stand that loss - but it's not a way to do business for long.
