It was 'about the 12th', but the Paypal thing will have lost them a day or three, and as there are probably other things that cannot wait it might be a few days before we see stuff.

damn, I thought for a second that they were posted. You should put a question mark in the title.

I'm dying for something to happen or something to talk about.... don't think I'm going to make it to November 30th.

I am going to tell you a story. When I was 14, there was a game called The Realm.

This was the first MMO I've ever played in my life and I enjoyed it more than anything Video Game wise. One day, my 56k ISP service decided not to work. Because I couldn't play an MMO I developed a stomach ache almost instantly. I had to take the day off of school because I was addicted to a video game. At the core of this, I am addicted to electronics. Over the years, I have learned to develop a thicker skin and can tolerate waiting to play or get certain videogames/gadgets. I've played World of Warcraft and easily walked away from it, because I've played things like that for awhile in my life and I've had my fill.

But the Pandora is a device I have been waiting for, for maybe the past 3 years. I only found out about the Pandora maybe 6 months ago, but since that time, a switch flipped inside of me. That says I MUST get this device. And now that I've pre-ordered, it's like I haven't had anything to eat for 6 months and I just placed my order for food at my [Favorite food place], only to be told, "It's being prepared, please wait two months...possibly more. But we promise we will give you scraps of part of your entree as we make it."

To sum things up, I, and I'm sure many others, are starving. I come to these forums to ask others how hungry they are and see if we are in agreement.

Though I did realize something over the weekend. Click Here! For those counting, their are ELEVEN (11) games coming out within the next two months that I really want to play. So I have more than enough things to occupy my time.

My problem is, I am at work and I've finished my work for today. I've read all the news on the net today, Ars/Engadget/Giz/Joystiq/XKCD/PA/Kotaku/D'toid/Cyanide&Hap/Slickdeals/Fatwallet/woot/hackaday/etc..etc.

I've pretty much devoured these forums and the only real interesting topic is the reverse eng SGX thread. I've been reading Cisco study material, but I take a break every 30 pages, because their is a monkey on the back of my head saying, "CHECK THE BOARDS!"

Why? What is so wrong to expect to be kept up to date with a product's progress after having paid for it?

I for one have paid my money, in good faith, and am willing to wait, but it does not mean that I do not want to be kept regularly up to date with what is happening. Surely thats just good customer service.

It has gone rather quiet hasn't it?

 

[Phawx]

It's probably really crazy for Craig&Co. Does the team for Pandora all have seperate jobs?

Craig
DaveC
DJWillis
Evildragon
Fatih
MWeston
Squidge

 

[TaG]

It has been suggested that all but one have full time jobs, and that the person working on Pandora full time was MWeston. Whether Michael has a full time job I couldn't say. But Craig, ED and Fatih are distributors and may just have had a busy week.

I don't know, how to say it...
Every time, there was a small pause in news flow, the same happened. I've just gotten a little apathetic over time.
Feel free to ask, don't listen to me. But I just won't participate in this discussion. If there isn't any news until mid november, I might change my mind.

This IS what you paid for- you paid to get the console. you didn't pay to see pictures of its circuits.
This is what pre ordering encompasses. It isn't for consumers, it's for the fanboys, followers, and freaks of the pandora.
Normal orders aren't that far away, maybe anyone who can't handle a bit of waiting should have gotten those?

Exactly. It's what the name implies it is, PRE-ordering

Yes, because "fanboys, followers, and freaks" are some of the most notably calm and patient bunch in a userbase.

nothing wrong with eager inquiry for more information- considering there hasn't been a single pic of fully assembled pandora.

hell, i'd love to see the production photos.

 

[TaG]

The beta nubs control the mouse on the PC so, yes, it should work fine for that.

We should have some new photos of the new boards this week, the first ones have arrived.

Post here.

This is three posts further down:

Yes, we don't want to CNC more test cases than we have to really. Although you might see the working keyboard and controls before you see the final case (if that makes any sense!)

Well, after giving the date of October 12th, there were bound to be posts like that. Not wishing to soun C*"!78ish, but Craig and co really shouldn't shoot themselves in the foot like that. Just say 'We'll have some pictures in the next couple of weeks'. That way you won't get anybody moaning that they don't have the pictures that they were 'promised'

Agreed. I personally don't need to see any pics, but giving dates like that is just a bad idea. I don't care when dates are missed here but a lot of people do.
