I paid attention to that and my page when I signed up said that sign-ups closed and the queue randomization began at 10am Pacific, and the email would be sent when the queue randomization concluded, then the emails for people who made it onto the launch batch queue would begin receiving emails on the 29th. At 9:47am Pacific on the 26th I received the email saying I was in queue and would receive the email to purchase when my queue spot was reached. Just under 24 hours seems a pretty reasonable time for randomization and sending out the emails, especially given the already announced 3 days before the purchase emails even go out
