Is there reasonable release date/month/(year)?
I think there are with me many other people who would like to know this.
I just want a answer like: 'it will most likely be released in march' or 'before june' or something.
Well I'm not going to read you the riot act, as you have a legitimate question. The problem is not the question, but the many, many problems we have all seen around here for 2+ years.
Back in december 2009, after are Christmas disappointments, I said march/april would be realistic, as at that point nobody knew how many more test cases would be needed, and the mould factory moves super slow. So at that point, I just knew there was know way to make the Chinese holiday. So with that in mind, I figured they would get back to work at the begining of march, then it would be however long to produce the cases and ship them to the states. That's why I figured march/april!
Now if all things happen as planned. All 4000 unit parts should be to team pandoras assembly location by the 22nd of this month! Assume a few days to get set up, and assembly should begin the 24-26! Customer units could begin to arrive by the end of the month to those who live close to the shipping location!
I think April 1 would be the ultimate release date for this project. Better than dreamcast 9/9/99 release date, and any other special game/console release in history(April fools day says it all)! Now, back to where I started, based on the last 2 years, really the only way to know when this item will be released, is when it is actually in your hands! The closer we get, the less things can go wrong, but I think we have all seen every possible excuse during the developement cycle.
Right now the only date anyone can go with is the 22nd of this month! Once that day comes, the team can confirm "ALL" parts have arrived, and assembly can begin, Or they can let everyone know what went wrong, and why? I'm hoping for april 1 release(or sooner), but I also know it may not come anytime soon!
