Just got this email in today!! YAY!! Its getting closer!!

Dear NCS Customer,

NCS will begin processing preorders for Ikaruga on Monday of next week.
We will break preorders into 30 equal batches so that one batch will be
submitted each day over the next 30 days. Preorders will be processed in
the order they were received. As mentioned before, we are unable to process
the large amount of Ikaruga preorders in one sitting or even within 2 weeks time.
There are simply too many preorders to handle in a short time frame. A month
gives us leeway and time to complete everything for an efficient ship-out of the
game on September 05, 2002.

Please note, this message is being sent to everyone on our mailing list for
Ikaruga and everyone who has ordered the game online. If you have previously
canceled your order for this game, please disregard this email and accept our
apologies for sending this message to you.

Regards,
NCS, Inc
