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 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.

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...

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".

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.

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.

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.

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
