Quote - If the blog post were still up I could clarify it better.  This link should explain it, but now it takes you to another page. http://blog.smithmicro.com/2011/08/18/poser-3d/pre-orders-vouchers-redemptions-oh-why/

Their blog appears to be broken, as none of the article, category, or page links work (i.e. what are supposed to be permalinks, aren't). The article you mentioned is still visible but only from -> http://blog.smithmicro.com/

I think we're both right, in that they are guaranteeing all the pre-order revenue without having to wait until they actually ship product.
