If it makes you feel any better, i just paid mine off last month so im a late late order feb. 2013 and i was told October. I cant see that happening but obviously they plan on hammering them out. If i were in your shoes id probably just wait. Like you said you have a game you really enjoy right now. I dont know about you but for me a month goes by in what feels like a few days. Unless it were for financial reasons, id hang in there.

If you compress water i believe you get ice..., if its compressed tighter the atoms would fuse.

This is because of the way it freezes (under normal conditions). If it were compressed to the point of freezeing, i dont beleive that what you stated would be the case.

I think if you propelled it at a speed just below the speed of light it should compress it.
