Amazon cancelled pre orders because arrow pulled their stock at the last minute and didn't say why.

It would be nice if they could announce when it'll be available to order again.

They should be , it didn't sell out , arrow just withdrew the stock, so once the disc is replaced they sell them again.

I ended up ordering from Amazon US as when they relisted it it was $70 , which with shipping and duty/vat was £10 cheaper than the UK. It's due to arrive on Monday.
