Buy.com Under Kalkrath (August 17, 1999)

[ChrisReid]

Steven Takacs sent us a transcript of his conversation with Buy.com. Several weeks ago they sold their last copies of the much sought-after Kilrathi Saga.

Question: I have heard rumors that those people who, like me, have ordered Kilrathi Saga will not be receiving them. Is this indeed true?Answer: Steven, Thank you for your inquiry regarding your order. Our records indicate that due to unanticipated demand, Wing Commander:Kilrathi Saga is currently on backorder. We expect a shipment to arrive from the manufacturer in approximately 4-6 weeks. We apologize for the delay and for any inconvenience it may have caused. Thank you for choosing BUY.COM

That's a bit different than the standard "we expect it in 1-2 weeks" response and would support the rumored October Kilrathi Saga rerelease, but we shall see. I still think KS DVD is a bit more likely at this point.
