@DatRandomDude - I've been checking on iTunes this past week and there's nothing. I've also checked Amazon and Google and there's nothing either.
TMS hasn't provided a link on their website either. Trust me, I'm aware, but it's literally nowhere to be found.

Oh, didnt know that. I guess we gonna have to wait even more then.
