I get the feeling they're not going to pull the trigger on official announcements until partners announce, so they're not potentially wrong.
They dropped the ball on emailing when the Selfridges sale happened, but there was only limited stock, so, in some sense, it made sense to announce on Twitter only. People don't check email right away and seeing something for sale and then finding "sold out" doesn't make people happy.
I would expect the same for May 31st, as long as there is stock. If pre-orders do very well, then May 31st will probably pass without an email.
