Anyone who has dropped out to this point never wanted it to begin with. Lots of people just jumped on the band wagon, some wanted to flip, some knew they weren't going to buy but put money down just in case etc.

I can say this because at this moment, the deposits aren't final and we are far from having all the information. Above what was given at expo, we have very little aditional info.

If you were serious, there is absolutely no reason to cancel now. There are a couple exceptions, like people who bought originals, but for the most part, with no money locked it and lots of info still to come, the time to cancel hasn't happened yet.

Because it's a stupid question. "How many people have dropped out?" What does that even mean? Why does the OP care? It's obvious that there is no way to find any sort of accurate answer, short of just causing trouble, what exactly is the point?

The OP might (MIGHT) be trying to stir the MMR pot that's been stirred enough.

I get that there are people out there, who since first throwing their $1K down, found something they would rather have. I stand by my comment though, if finding a nice LOTR or deciding on the next NIB Stern was enough to have you cancel your pre-order, you weren't really all that committed to begin with.

For those of use who truly want an MM and who are unsure, there is absolutely no reason to cancel at this time.

After the games are out there, and after all the info is out there, then at least I can see a reason.

I guess I just don't throw $1K at something I'm not at least relatively sure of. I'm sure just about every person who put their $1K down realised games would come up that they wanted in the 8 or so months between paying and getting a game, I just don't understand why those people put down money at all.

It's already been confirmed that this is not true. Unless you're being sarcastic, I can't tell.

Spoiler alert: They won't be

Well all know that there are way too many new things in this pin, there are going to be bugs. I'm not worried about the hardware, even the new driver boards and CPU boards etc, it's a new system but it's not exactly rocket science. These guys have been doing play field parts for a long time as well.

As far as the software, that's what the USB port on the board is for.

I was going to say. If the OP wanted to start a discussion about dropping out, so be it. But to think you're getting any kind of accurate data from this thread is insane.

Right now just Texas, but I hope you're right.
