Looks like the November 15th release date wasn't accurate. Amazon is now showing 6-8 weeks for in-stock. I had a feeling that the date wouldn't hold up considering that even Hyperkin's Facebook page doesn't have a word about it.

didn't surprise me. i thought that Nov. 15th was not accurate since Hyperskin doesn't even have a release date yet. but i'm glad it's moving along..

Huh, Amazon definitely wasn't the only retailer that was told to put orders in and that would be the release date though. Disappointing but as long as they get it right.

This hopefully means that the system will have fixes for the problems with the prototypes afterall. Here's hoping.

Hey guys, I just got off the phone with a Rep. at Hyperkin, and he said that they will start shipping Friday or Monday :) He also said that a few PAL games they tried out worked, although he wasn't sure if they all would, and that the quality on the PAL ones were a bit sketchy for some of them. All the NTSC ones they tried looked great though!

yeah...but considering the source is coming from someone with only a single post and no evidence, I'm more than a little skeptical.

Ah, I was on my phone and had zoomed in to just read the text boxes.

Really? Sorry,I thought this site was pretty cool, & that I could share what I had learned to help people who were wondering. If you're doubting, go to hyperkin's website and call them... They'll say the same thing.

^ It's all good, welcome to the site.

I've been tweeting at hyperkin and then won't respond to confirm - which means nothing though. I wasn't surprised. 8)
