Don't be too sure. DR eStore is so FUBAR that that stuff often bears no relation to reality. I just ordered an "out of stock" 10G unit and got an anti-fraud call 30 minutes later to verify my credit card. I figure it's at least a 50-50 chance a 10G Empeg will show up here next week. Failing that, if they want to send me a 20G unit for the price of a 10G unit, that's cool.

A friend of mine had been talking about ordering an Empeg for months. I have been trying to reach him to let him know that the Empeg is EOL but no luck; I'm think he is on the road. The Rio site says absolutely *zilch* about the Empeg/RioCar being EOL and I'm afraid he'll be quite ticked at me if he orders one based on the price drop and finds out it is a dead product, more or less.
