Actually, someone should really look into this. I thought Craig himself was the one who wanted (or was at the very least supporting the plan) to add an option to the survey for pre-orderers to settle for a CC unit to fulfill their orders. And now he's not going forward with that, but pocketing the money himself for the refurbished units?
He has a foremost obligation to cater his existing orders. And if the customer is willing to downgrade for a refurbished CC unit (like was the plan), then he damn sure should do that. I think some were actually even willing to downgrade to partly broken units, for crying out loud...
So, from what I can see, he's potentially (again, another being the recent amazon/ebay/whatever sales) opening himself to personal liability. Someone should inform him of this possibility, so maybe he would start supplying those CC units to those who want them. I think there were around 50 pre-orderers willing to do that, according to the survey.
On another note: this whole thing might look really bad if someone is auditing Craig's company's actions in the future.
