A few more photos posted today of Jack's factory:

Quoted from pinstyle:

F$&&k why is it i gravitate towards the bull&&t forms wher when you ask a real question or state a real fact it gets glossed over? Over to RGP to see what its all about, begining to think im on the bull$&&t yuppie form with no real info. Answer my question about the blade connectors and how you feel about 2% lost on your investment over three years. This is not a JJP attack either, im stoked for the guys and everyone who has one on order,, but damn..., dont gloss over a question or fact with more of what we know is going to happen...ppfftt..

Maybe no one answered because no one knows yet. Demanding an answer won't magically give
people years' worth of experience with WOZ-style blade connectors in order to say whether they were a good or bad idea. At first blush, they're fantastic for service and assembly.

And I'm not sure what calendar you're using, but right now we stand at 22 months. Not 36. (You state 2% interest for 3 years is a $400 "loss"). And even then, people have only had to be fully paid up for about a year.

Quoted from pinstyle:

And damn it already..., if i had one on order, based on where they are at right now, i wouldnt expect to see mine at my door step until middle of next summer....., i know some have waited a while, but give it a rest..., let them build the damn machine and just wait it out. Like i said i'd love to be in your shoes, and if i was i'd be keeping my mouth shut and just waiting, checking out progress, and hopeing for a great game in the end, which im pretty sure it will be.

If you don't have one on order, you really have no valid reason to tell anyone else to "keep [their] mouth shut" and "just wait it out". And even if you did have one on order, you could only speak for
yourself.

Quoted from pinstyle:

What bank are you getting 2% every month?...this place is hopeless..., good god...2% APY is above average in a savings account. That was a gift..., S$$t im in the wrong bank..

I'm not sure I get this response. 2% is your figure, and interest is calculated yearly (but typically compounded monthly). You are the one that earlier said:

Quoted from pinstyle:

Some things i have thought about though is 2% on $6500 over three years is about $400. Not so much a deal if they dont spit these out soon.

So, you were saying (and please correct me if I'm wrong) that anyone that's had $6500 paid up for 3 years in order to obtain the $1000 preorder discount, has lost $400 (versus sticking it in a bank at 2% interest)... and is thus only really saving $600 versus waiting and ordering later at normal price.

However, I worked it out for you.

If you ordered on January 15th, 2011, and then followed the exact payment schedule as required by Jack at the time, and making your final payment on December 15th, 2011 as stipulated... if such a person only receives their game mid-April 2013, then by spending the $6,500 versus waiting and spending $7,500 on an ECLE later on, they will have earned the equivalent of 8.85% interest on their investment. That does beat a bank.

Just imagine if you actually had ordered back in January 2011, like me! That's a looong wait...
