Maybe so, but equally they've never had such a huge, mega-hyped pre-release marketing campaign like they did with the Ren back in Jan/Feb. Based on that hype machine I did expect a pretty big fanfare on the eventual release day rather than this rather damp blip of an almost embarrassed, virtually mute release.
Come on, they've not even announced it on Twitter, nothing on Facebook, no update on their own sites, nothing. One little sentence from Dan here. Doesn't fit with the pre-release campaign whatsoever.
