EFSIII,

Where do you live in upstate? I am in Syracuse, so we can't be too far away.

FYI: Appears that due to the (may I say) ridiculous delay even by electronics-industry standards between product announcement and volume shipping, very few orders were placed March-July. I base this statement on fact that I placed my order end of July and just got my confirmation - same day or only a day after orders placed mid-February were confirmed.

Or they could be shipping fairly large batches from (where is it, Malaysia?) On distances that far, I'd guess there are significant shippings savings to be realized from shipping in bulk; fewer shipments but more units packed into each batch.

Of course this is just a guess.

We know that there were huge "clumps" of reservations around mid-December and early February, triggered by the opening of the list and the beta tester feedback, respectively. (Outlaw doesn't release any numbers, but they did mention in a newsletter that the original batch of reservations was triple what they'd expected.) So relatively speaking, Norman's right -- there were a lot fewer orders placed per day from March on than in the first couple of days. That and some good-sized shipments from the factory go a long way to explaining the rapid pace lately (seems like they've been getting through around 4 to 8 weeks of reservations per week, maybe more).

Oh, and congratulations on getting your confirmation e-mail, Norman. If they're into late July, then they've got to be getting near the end of the reservation list. Great news, indeed. I'm looking forward to the day when Outlaw starts shipping 950's from warehouse inventory...

They are through the reservation list at this point. I'm sure they are happy about that. Nice going Outlaws.

I am smiling, can you tell?

Ordered tonight. I reserved Sept 2, #2873.

The email from Outlaw came just before midnight. I am writing this about 30 min later. Does DHL deliver on Sat?

Man, and I don't even have it yet...


The cool thing? Also have a Pioneer DV-45a universal player on the way at this very moment too...
