Ok It's The 26Th, Can We Have An Update?

[Jumpman]

1. It is now evening hours in China, there has still be no reply in regards to have the cases actually shipped yet?
2. How is everything looking for assembly of the first 500 units on are around the the 1st?
3. How are the preperations going at the hall?
4. How is the PCB production going? Ahead of forcast? Behind forcast? Right on point?

There is one week left to the first, The team should know at this point how things are looking for the next 1 to 2 weeks, right?

Please no guessing on what's happening unless you know it as fact for the moment!

I would like to know how long it will take untill ALL 4K Units are shipped to the Customers.
Becaue I'm a late pre-orderer I won't get one of the first 2-3K units. I think I get one of the last 1000 Units from the 1. Batch so I really want to know the time scedule for the entire batch.

Sorry to add speculation to your thread. But I am guessing no. I don’t think anything has been shipped to Craig house. No boards or cases. I would love to be told otherwise. I am a curious to know where some of the other components are like LCD’s and speakers. I am sure there are a lot of other little parts like that. If they had the cases today they could not start because of all the little parts. I am also a little uncomfortable with the fact Craig has not told the factory the address to ship the cases.

i know for a fact that it is during normal work hours in the UK so people who have a job may not be able to reply, from this i can extrapolate that it may well be quite early in Canadialand and a similar (though) not exact time in mainland europe and thus we may be working under the same conditions. I can also further confirm that it may or may not be around the time in the day when people in mainland europe and the UK take lunch, although some in the more northern parts of the UK may call it dinner. This is likely to be some sort of sandwich or as it is a Friday and especially in the UK something "special" such as chips or in the north "chips n gravy". It is often also semi traditional to partake of an alchoholic beverage as part of the warmup to the weekend.

I will also state as fact that as a day one pre-orderer than i am now starting to look at SD cards, which i have held off buying until i am reasonably satisfied that there will be not a major price drop between the purchasing of and the arrival of said near mythical device about whose preperation you enquire.

I will also state as fact that i am bored, both at work this afternoon and of such requests as if the business you are purchasing from is a bunch of performing monkeys. However my or indeed our opinions generally as just that.
As an aside or maybe offside. such requests highlight the fact that while we do get lovely updates here it is still the official website that is oft to suffer a lack of updates and leaves us all to Gruso's find Blog, several twitter feeds and trawling through hear for titbits.

I understand where you're coming from but I think between Fatih's new photos, Craig and EvilDragon's responses to our comments it looks to be a go. I guess they're either on their way to the UK now or will be shortly.

Yeah, I'm looking for facts, not speculation! If speculation was fact, we all would have had our Pandoras long ago. This thread is already heading off the tracks, Please, unless you have a specific answer to one of my questions, please don't fill up this thread with nonsense.

I'm just wondering where everything stands as of today. If things are a little behind schedule, that's not a big deal. I'm just looking to know now versus hearing about delays a week from now.

The cases/keymats have shipped, or they have not. It's really not that difficult to answer. This is where things go wrong all the time. Leaving people to speculate, and then stuff grows out of control once the truth finally arrives, it's to little to late. I don't care if news is bad, good, or somewhere inbetween. I just asked some simple questions, there is no need for speculation, that is not what was asked for. I can speculate on my own just fine. I have been for 2+ years.

I feel if things are planned for april 1st, the team should know if it will happen or not at this point. It's really not that hard. If you can't add any facts to this thread, please don't add!

Thank You,
Chris

Why not just send a PM? or @craigix or email?
Creating a thread and wasting all those electrons in the hope that one or more of four people will be the only ones to answer seems a bit.... optimistic. Particularly here where everyone wants to know the same thing and some want to know even more. i have even heard that some are willing to use blind faith, though what a defunct 70's supergroup have to do with this i am unsure.

i've read that someone said that something was supposed to be shipped delay somewhere today.

I have mine already. I went with two of these:

Now I'm waiting a bit less patiently for the device to house them.

Woah, they are a little out of my budget, wish they weren't though.

I'm from the North of England which means I'm 'careful' with my money.

 

[levi1123]

Woah! ~100USD for a 32 gb sd card? I think ill settle for less space. (does anyone recognize that brand? they really look generic to me..)

i wouldnt call brighton "the north"!!!

they are a bit spicy for my tastes, though it's only £70 i suppose. i dont think i have that many Amiga games to fill so much space.

 

[Bigun]

I would like an update as well, even if the update is, "No word from the factory." It's just nice to know what is going on.

Blackpool ex-pat mate, proper side of the Pennines.

You know where you can get chips 'n peas AND gravy in a tray, or a chip barmcake..

Back on topic play.com often do deals on sd cards, you just have to check every now and again.

Just assume it's bad news. Last time deadline came and passed and Craigix went abnormally quite and stopped posting on the boards it was because there were delays.

 

[Hooka]

C'mon, it's my birthday, gimme a good news update this time (heh, and to think about a year ago I was waiting on the edge of my seat, hoping that the pandora would ship in time for my birthday )

 

[mali]

Oh please, this 26th deadline is pretty vague anyway. The cases are go and should ship in the next days. Shipping takes 3-5 days, maybe longer if it's a very large shipment. Be prepared to see the April 1st date slip, that's my advice. I'm happy that the cases are acceptable now, so I'm relaxed

edit:
Happy Birthday, Hooka

I thought you didn't have an order anyway?

And good point...
