Pre-order email notifications were sent earlier today (Wednesday, 11/30/2011) and I have completed filling out the form to order my X1000.

The form states that a 25% deposit will be asked for shortly and full payment will be due 10 days prior to shipment of each X1000 system.

I expect that they will start shipping shortly before, or shortly after the end of this year. Having it delivered in time for Christmas would be an unexpected, but very welcome surprise.
