The only thing that I can come up with is the signature at the bottom of Charlie (Gamecab's) signature that has the following:

If you want to know what I think, I think that this is a teaser for the fact that Saint is losing his mind.  First, Project Arcade's "I am not your friend" and now this...  Saint is just letting us know that we've only seen the tip of the iceburg.

Or wait a minute...  Maybe it's me who is losing my mind.  Saint's got me picking through every word and analyzing every image looking for some kind of conspiracy.

Heh, that is a worthless hint, because if you don't know what the code is that doesn't help you :)  Other than there is a comma involved :)

Now, I am going to hav eto ask GameCab a question.  On the preorder page it says:
"If the 20 unit total is not met by October 15th all money will be fully refunded to the respective purchasers."
and
"Upon request you will receive a full refund for your Flight Yoke before September 30th."

Now, if you know the release date those statements will cause a couple of questions :)

Saint didn't say if the gamecab thing is the teaser or not.  So have you found the teaser or figured out the gamecab thing?

Right,  saint didn;t out right say the code was the teaser.  You probably assume so form his comments and the fact in the news post it says to email/pm the right person.  So it makes sense that that would be the teaser.  Waiting to see :)

The real question is: "Was this the teaser you were referring to?"

Poonga keeps saying that the hexi-yoke-date-thingy might not have been the teaser at all, so are we supposed to continue searching around the forums in the hopes that we find the elusive teaser?? 

Can you explicitly confirm/deny that the release date is what you were teasing about?

Thanks
