I bought a handheld Megadrive (http://www.play.com/Gadgets/Gadgets/4-/ ... oduct.html) as a Christmas present for somebody last year on Play.com, and it arrived problem-free. I've noticed that this, and a couple of other things I've bought/had my eye on have become a "Pre-Order". What's going on - is Play.com going back in time?

Those things are great. I got one myself, and it's a real retro game rush, especially Sonic and Knuckles.

Maybe currently out of stock, and the stock flag on the website has been set indicating the date new stock is due to arrive. Perhaps the out-of-stock flag, can't have a stock due to arrive date attached, so they use the other.
