Can I ask which country you're in? I'm curious what kind of notification you were sent denying the preorder? Was it by email?
I'm hearing such mixed things, I'm confused myself. I've been placed on a pre-order list weeks ago but I have yet to receive any links for payment, which I'm reading some people have already. I guess it depends on which country you're in.
I'm in the US and got the response from my SA through text. I hope yours goes through if you've been placed on the pre-order list! From reading the forum, it sounds like April 2 (?) may be the launch date.
