"The release date has been moved to mid April 2002. The head of Distribution for Thrustmaster has chosen to delay the release date of the Cougar until mid April, in order to ensure a more uniform distribution. The current stock of Cougars will be increased to meet the number of pre-orders which currently exceeds the current stocking levels. The objective of this decision is to allow a maximum number of people to have their HOTAS Cougars at the same time. Priority will logically go to those who have pre-ordered.

Aside from James: Please note that this decision was made at very senior levels within Guillemot and outside the scope of influence of anyone in the CW team.
