Probably a developer was testing the page(s) and posted them to live server instead of the test server. It happened in 8 or X1 IIRC.
Ewe did not think that CW announces the product release and on the same day the retailers "automajikally" have all the info?
Under NDA they (the developers) would get the images at least two weeks in advance to setup the web pages.

yes I know about the lead time, it happened with some Yamaha keyboards that appeared in digital print before the official release date.. links to it on a keybaord forum got yanked and arses were chewed...

I suspect one issue is that if a retailer "accidentally" puts up a page early and it is discovered and linked to, then other retailers might believe that is unfair to them.
Which might explain the seemingly heavy handed responses...
 In order, then, to discover the limit of deepest tones, it is necessary not only to produce very violent agitations in the air but to give these the form of simple pendular vibrations. - Hermann von Helmholtz, predicting the role of the electric bassist in 1877.

I'd say the "assumption" is made. And you know what happens when you assume.

Pfft.... It's not going to be called "X3" anyway. My spies tell me it's actually going to be called "cKwLKbYrLnDsNrxtHr", in honour of how the program displays the names of our soundcards  Or "Mildred".

Where "NDA" evidently means "Now Display Accidentally."

I noticed that they didn't use any designations like Producer Edition on the art work. If it was an actual selling product, I would expect that differentiation.

There was also a green one that said Studio Edition. I mean, Oh no there wasn't. You're quite right. Nobody saw that, because it wasn't there.

What does being 'ready for delivery' actually mean when talking about an imminent Sonar release? On the word 'ready' Dictionary.com says: 1. Completely prepared or in fit condition for immediate action or use: That in itself would be a really cool, breakthrough feature for a new version.

This just in...
X3 had to be pulled from the shelves because it will be offered with a free fake Rolex and the kitchen remodel of your choice, but the watches hadn't arrived yet.
