Yup, which would include mine!

Yes, I noted that also which would not apply to

Sounds like a plan and my plan so far and if
things don't change, about the only thing left to
do when it is released is to check for any
possible rebate deals or special prices from
dealers as I am pretty sure that it will be full
price at the MS site, which I believe will be a
hundred bucks, so anyone seeing it at a lower
price, please let me know!
