SuSE 7.3 - upgrade version gone?

The english version of 7.3 was just announced as being shipped on october 12 (the day *before* the german version??!!) and I went in to order. Previously, the upgrade version was available from SuSE but not from local retailers, so I was going to pre-order online. But it seems the upgrade version is gone?! Is this true? Is my only option a full-priced version? Anders
