I think the point is that none of us know the facts. Everything's still up in the air until it's announced.

I was a bit worried about how well the shaker would integrate, now I can't imagine the game without it.

They're no longer giving dates. " CGC has learned that while everyone wants promises and pushes for dates, that there is so much involved that they cannot set expectations and meet them".

From what people are saying on the PPS forum, the colorization is done, they're waiting on the hardware update so they can bundle them together. I don't know what the truth is, I can only speculate. All I know is I'm terrible at being patient.

Edit: I am a moron and I meant software

Software. Sorry, multitasking and typing suck.

They may have golds but do they have black? Or Stainless?

I have a gold. I'm happy with it. I was just trying to say that I think most of the people waiting are waiting for trim they liked better. There are people locked in, paid in full still waiting. They're allowed to be a little salty at this point. Especially if someone can just go buy one today and have it next week.

The clear wasn't having issues so much as the sling was repeatedly bashing the playfield and damaging it.

Oh it has. I'm just saying it wasn't the clear, the clear is absolutely lovely. I had this issue, it's fixed, and no one notices unless I tell them

I will buy the upgrade - it looks great, but it will be the last dollar I give CGC. I could even handle the price a bit easier if color came shortly after the announcement last April but after two years of nothing but delays and misinformation i'm not inclined to order another game from them. I'm sure people will and i'm sure plenty of owners will buy the color but I don't think i'm willing to go through all the hoops a second time.
