Alright, for everyone getting worried because you don't have a coupon yet:
It's not because we don't like you or that you were too late -- No one has gotten one yet! However, as of right now, everyone who has registered into the system will get one!
The sales team is in UTC+8 -- When preorders opened, it was 8pm their time, and now it is 5am! When they get back to work, that is when you might be able to start expecting coupons.
As for the distribution of coupons, I'll lay it out for you:
First early batch is 100 units. About 10 of those are going to developers. That means about 90 will be available for pre-orders. Coupons will be sent to the first 90 users to registered into the system, starting tonight (in Europe and US time zones) and over the next 72 hours or so. Those units will ship in about 4 weeks from now.
The second batch is much larger -- 1000 units, all dedicated to preorders. These coupons will start being sent out in a couple weeks and stretch out to about 6-7 weeks from now. Units ship about 8-10 weeks from now.
I hope this clears things up. I'll likely pin an adapted version of this post as a new thread, so it's easier to see.
