As an update to this offer, I just read the following on the Nintendo Life message boards
"Ok an update. I contacted Amazon via their 'Call Me Service'. It's some bizarre thing where you enter your number, then they IMMEDIATELY call you back (I mean, as SOON as you press the button), it's pretty efficient actually. Anyway, the assistant I spoke to took my order number, and she could see immediately that the item had changed from when I originally placed the order. She spoke to someone at the warehouse to check if they could 'keep their promise' and they said everything was still OK for my order, but they had changed the picture and taken the price away because the item was now "out of stock", so it will only be available at this time to people who have already pre-ordered it.
Saying it's 'out of stock' is very unlikely to be true, I mean what kind of shop at Amazon's level stock an item that little? I suspect somebody at Amazon has noticed the massively low price, which most likely was a mistake, and taken it off the website to prevent any more people getting the deal. She completely assured me my order was safe however (can I completely believe this? is this too good to be true?) and finally, and here's the most unbelievable bit, she said it would dispatch to me on the 1st of April: "That's the date we promised to send it to you, and it's a promise we will keep". I doubt this will happen, but imagine if it did?"
You can read it here.
I find it hard to believe Amazon would ship this item nearly a whole month before its official release date, even if that's what the page on their website said when I made my pre-order with them. Hopefully they'll at least hold to the outrageously low price they were selling it at!
