At the risk of starting another shitstorm...
Now the website says late may early june delivery for the 3 products they are apparently taking pre-orders for.

The Vic series was being shipped to end user via China, I have a feeling the initial batch was sold out and that is the reason why there are now delays until June for those AIO systems. For the C64x, the early pre-orders should be getting them in early May. First mold is very close to being finished, probably next week. Once that is done (acid wash and final inspections are completed), it goes to the company to begin injection molding the case which are given to the assemblers, which are all in southern Florida.
Another delay. Said mid april before. I can't wait to see the 30 million dollar ad campaign on airing on "major networks". Was supposed to air last christmas, but then these computers were supposed to start selling a year ago, or well, that was other computers then.
You think they would have told Disney no and gone with production early? I don't think so. $30M is spread over 5 years so that's $6M @ year, including cost of the advertising agency, production costs, and finally air time.
I'm going to go buy a tron dvd. I was buying one soon anyway, I'm curious to see if the compusa ad is in all dvds or if they just paid to have their warez peddled in a very small number of dvds.
Maybe someone from there will clarify, were the ads in every tron legacy dvd, or just some of them?
Should be in everyone during the co-branding period. Also, Disney does not take money for advertising with their products. They are too huge to do something like that, it's all about them.
No one from CUSA clarified yet if they have permission to use the tron legacy footage in their ad, or just used it without permission yet.
Everything released has to be pre-approved by Disney. I've seen a TV ad that was knocked down by Disney.
I think Franko reported them to disney. Thats funny.

Didn't Franko have his own Disney/C=USA Youtube video out? Oh, I doubt it's still up. :rofl:
