I was expecting this, even if they get some units out the door in Nov/Dec, it will be a trickle as Xmas will shut everything down.
huh, that sounds familiar.

Bait, switch, and switch!
That does change a lot. 3-4 months in Bitcoin mining is an eternity at this stage.
Big surprise!

This was already posted here, but maybe this news deserves better visibility.
I feel a bit speechless.
A quote from the BFL forum:
Yes, I would like to change it, but I have a sneaking suspicion if I have it changed now people will pitch a fit about false advertising or something. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. I'm open to arguments about this.
If you order now, I would not expect you to take delivery of your unit until sometime in February.

Don't you think it's misleading that above the Pre-Order now button it still says this?
"Tape out August 2013
November/December delivery"
What you saying now is that this only applies to a few orders that were made days ago.
I based my decision on November if lucky, December probably and January if there was a delay. Your post now makes that sounds like it might be another six months on top. I'd be happier if I knew how many you'd need to make before you got to my order and even a worst case prediction based on your lowest prediction of how many your suppliers could process per week.
