Or if it was really thiers. A lot of us have posted ours... I guess as a kind of security so nobody can say they are selling a unit with our SN.

I'm In for 40gigger

Or email a scanned pic of your empeg purchase invoice, which shows your outside US address and empeg serial no??

cheers,
Jai

Sorta screws the used empeg people, doesn't it?

And those of us that have a less-than-perfect paper archive

I guess that it's totally Rob's decision as to who he allows to participate. On the one hand, he will want to bring as many over as possible - every sale is a good thing. On the other hand, since it will involve hassle he may want to restrict it somehow.

I don't think it's fair to speculate too much on what any criteria may be. Maybe some proof of empeg ownership, maybe first come first serve, or maybe restricted to known BBS members. Whatever - we should remember that Rob is pulling the necessary strings to make this happen, not us.

I'm hoping that he can avoid all the hassle and find some way of persuading the new Masters to make it available in the UK simultaneously with the US, or at least very soon after.

You can count me in for 40 gig

How about photos of us holding our Empegs with big cheesy grins?

. On the other hand, since it will involve hassle he may want to restrict it somehow.

Ahhh....no good deed goes unpunished!

Careful now, we're trying to encourage Rob not scare him silly

Rob,

I'm interested in a 40Gb as well, once available.


Jelle

Defenitely interested.
If I have money or not would depend on when they ship though.

Rob would we be get a one year warranty? Or only 90 days?

Interested -- 20 or 40.

I don't know, probably 90 days since they would be a US purchase. But warranty is one of the major hassles with a group purchase like this

Late post I know, but I'd be interested... 20 or 40Gb
In New Zealand so expecting it'll be pretty hard to get my mitts on one if the group buy doesn't go ahead...

cheers for the effort Rob...

Ok, I'm interested too.

how come this thread reminds me of my game hacking days (diabloii to be exact), where someone says that they have a hack for game XYZ and showing it off.... then the next 100 posts are of ppl saying "please send.. email is abc@def.com" or "PM sent, please send" or "Me too".

If there's any chance that we can get them b4 septempber 3rd (off on holiday for 2 weeks after that!) then i'm very interested. Anyone know when we are likely to get hold of them?

Not by September 3rd.

Rob

I'm still tentatively interested - one question though - Will this be the only way of getting hold of one in the UK anytime soon?
Does anyone know when it will be available in the UK officially?

Don't know.. Japan is schedule for a month after the US, Europe will be sometime after that. I believe D&M intend to move us to completely different channels which take some time to set up.

Rob

I may have missed this elsewhere but whats the tentative launch date for the US?

1: <Bart> Are we there yet? </Bart>
2: <Homer> Just a little further. </Homer>
3: goto 1

Thats real informative. Thanks a lot.

not to be anal about simpsons references, but isn't homer suppsed to be answering "NO!".

"Just a little further" seems so out of character.

not the real script, but look at the 3rd post in this thread. thats what i also remember him saying.

edit: found quotes and soundbyte here. its granpa simpson tho. and i also stand corrected. This is the correct soundbyte from season2.

how come i can't do a ftp url? darn. ok, here's the page that it originates from.

Um, you are likely correct about the quote. It is out of character to be that, uh, correct.

As for it being unhelpful, yes, it was. Unfortunately, I do not have a correct answer. The only thing that I know is that it is still in beta testing, and I do not know the release timeline. Hopefully someone who does can post. No offense intended.

Thanks

I assumed that things were a little farther along and store units were immenent. Just trying to figure out how long I have to squirell away the cash.

It depends what you mean by "imminent". I'd definte the time period as "soon", but not "imminent".

Then again, my Noble looks like it's going to be delivered 6 months after I was advised delivery would happen, so maybe my definitions aren't to be relied upon
