Get Ready For An Explosion Of Publicity...

[CyruzDraxs]

I was at the Wii launch in Vancouver at 7:00PM the day before and was 39th in line. There was 40 units there. *_*

i dont get it. are we supposed to respect you for that?

 

[adsharma23]

so any guesses as to how long we have before all preorders are filled?
i remember chip mentioning he's not worried and that he won't preorder right away (can't find post)
i just don't feel like getting caught disabling the internet filters at school again so i can preorder
i hate detentions

i dunno, but apparently were supposed to reply for it.
Were at 522 digs! she cant take much more cap'n!

Whelp its 12:30 EDT, about 7 or 8 hours to go. Also happy Rosh Hashanah to anyone of the Jewish persuasion out there! Hopefully I'll be able to pick one up after services tomorrow.

Dugg! It looks like the 3000 will sell faster now, oh boy!

 

[Hotcooler]

Dugg it.

This will definetly speed up the sales. No all-3000-gone-in-60-seconds, but speed up it will.

On another note, I never got the point of waiting for stuff outside shops. I, for example preordered my wii about four to five months before release from a webstore guaranteeing one from the first shipment. This is what I always do, preorder from the internet. Except for pandora. I'll wait for the first reviews, because although I have high hopes and lots of confidence to the dev team, there are too many things that can go wrong.

Well, that was pretty good. No one said anything bad really, just lots more people who are interested. I bet this reminded lots of people about it too.

Preordering later today is going to be terrifying...

 

[Arialia]

dugg too ( first time i dugg for something )

again in first page ( most recent by default), and in top of linux page

i was 571 , now 573 dugg

 

[gruso]

Dugg. My first too!

 

[javaJake]

Nigh on 600 now... still hanging in on the front page of Technology!

The truth. It seems Pandora doesn't have as much universal appeal (just try and talk to people, even "nerds", about it) as the Wii. Doesn't mean it won't sell out, of course.

 

[chiark]

preorders will go online 2PM GMT

Not wishing to be picky or pedantic, but you mean 2PM BST, not GMT. We're currently on british summer time

If pandora shall become a commercial success, it should stop being dubbed as "opensource handheld with excellent console emulation capabilities". Not many will pay more than 100EUR for something like that.

From my perspective, pandora should become the ultimate portable multimedia and entertaining pda. Nobody needs archos, ipods and all the other music/codec-jails once pandora is running vlc.

Gaming on emulators will allways be a nerds way of entertainment. To find more buyers, winning against apple and archos will do the trick.

I hope I can get my preorder through before someone in the press notices the full potential of this magic box.

Btw., I have two bluetooth keyboards: celluon laser keyboard and the fabric keyboard. Would one of them work out of the box?

Hauke

You know after hearing that she won a beauty contest in english class I went ahead and looked her up, only to be disappointed finding out that she's not very hot at all

That's not hot, that's incredibly disturbing

What a Paradox! If the Pandora becomes a commercial success, then many people will ALREADY have paid more than 100EUR for the item as it has already been described!

Naa, that's MILF material. However, it's fake.

 

[icurafu]

not a paradox.

It can use the limited emulation audiance to get enough to transend as a somethi8ng else.... whatever it is that normla people like.... like a PSP but shinier!

600 diggs passed!
