KORG DS-10 Synthesizer - Preorder Update

NCS opened preorders for KORG DS-10 a couple of months ago and things were hunky-dory as preorders flowed in and interest was high. Last week, one of our vendors warned us that the distribution of the synthesizer-software would be limited to Amazon's Japanese website only. At first, we figured it was a mistake. AQI wouldn't do that would they? We waited for confirmation from another distributor and unfortunately it's true. This means no one else can get it - not Tsutaya, not SofMap, not Family Mart nor Lawson. No one. Except Amazon.
EVIL
Our distributor is offering to help us order KORG DS-10 from Amazon directly but that means paying the retail price, taxes, and shipping fees. After crunching the numbers, NCS came up with the new price of US$62.90 instead of US$48.90 when we originally started preorders.

Due to the change in the product offering, we'll contact everyone by email who submitted a preorder in the past few months to re-confirm their interest at the new price level. We're saddened by the "exclusivity" of KORG DS-10 in Japan but we'll try our best to get it into the hands of musicians and music fans who have preordered with NCS over the past few months. In the meantime, new reservations are welcome for KORG DS-10 which is scheduled to ship on or around July 24, 2008.
