Not sure why you quoted yourself, or how I somehow could have cheated. I sent an email to them in response to the whole "who needs it by Christmas?" thing asking them not to do that and to honor the way they advertised, which was to ship in the order they were purchased. I never asked for mine to be shipped early or ahead of the line, that was the opposite of what I had asked for. I'm guessing they shipped it to me to somehow appease me. Either way it looks like you and a few others (I bought mine at 12:04am the week before sales opened) have been accidentally skipped. Getting upset won't help anything.
