They have not announced any plans of releasing it to stores.

I undestand your concern about buying over the web, and if you don't have a credit card you may have a problem. But all of the complaints I have seen about shipping related to the time it takes. I haven't heard of anyone who said they never got their order.

Actually we have quite a few regulars in the forums that live overseas and from their comments they were plesantly suprised with how quick they received their shipment.

I think the worst you could expect is to have to wait a few weeks for your order. But a few weeks is better than never getting it cause you are waiting for it at your neigborhood computer store, right?
