Well, they haven't exactly announced a retail date, just "later this year". And the context of the statement was along the lines of "If you need to get a refund due to the delay, remember that it will cost just under $400 at retail later this year, so your patience is saving you some money." Not so much an announcement, as a matter-of-fact statement that leaked some information.

I doubt they'll even have them up for pre-order until at least the All-Star pledges have shipped.
