"If you pre-ordered, you’ll get an email when your order is being prepped (1-3 weeks prior to shipping) and then another one when your payment method has been charged and your Rift is on its way." I ordered mine about 5 minutes after the order form opened on the first day of availability but haven't yet received this email, nor has my card been charged. At the time of order my ship date was still March...is this slipping now?

Check your spam folder or promotions tab. If you ordered within 5 minutes you almost certainly got the "1-3 weeks" email. Based on recent tweets from Palmer, the first pre-orders are targeted to start shipping Wednesday, so I assume cards will start getting charged by Tuesday or Wednesday.

  I went through their forums, I have an order number of 26xxxxx, apparently some people in this range have received the emails, but most haven't from the looks of it. Oh well, I guess I'll get it in a couple weeks :(

    Are the order numbers serial? They can't have received 2.6 mil orders, right? :O

      They almost certainly aren't serial, for example, there seems to be a chunk of zeroes that are fixed removing at least a few digits.

      The serials seem to have started at xxxxxxx23xxxxx. I'm not sure how serial they are after that, but that puts things on the high-end estimate at hundred of thousands, not millions.
