Does this surprise anybody?

I'd like to get one of these things, but it's a bit ridiculous. They announced this in DECEMBER, and announced they had all these gee-whiz features working. Supposedly, some have seen this in action over a month ago.

Something smells a bit fishy around here, and it ain't Wong Hung Lo's breath, either.

Looks like I'll be doing the same.

I just called Easybuy and had confirmed that it has been delayed 2 more weeks!!! Add shipping to that and make the giant assumption that it will not be delayed again and you should have your chip by August...

I wonder how much money they have taken in preorder.

Hahaha! Where has he been? Haven't seen him post in a long while.

Well, I wish they'd release info about the stealth feature...but whatever.
Oh yeah, before you say anything, I don't care what you have to say Lordscr. I have the right to mock their stealth technology since they don't even list it anymore, eg hype.
Until they do tell about it at least...

I don't give a flying fuck about the damn stealth feature. All I said, three weeks ago is that your joke on the stealth feature was getting stale, considering that you felt the obligation to repeat it on every board in the Xbox-scene forum.

Eh, maybe it's just 4 cheapmods wrapped together with ductape, and they're trying to make it look like that cool photoshopped pic they were showing of the Chameleon?

First of all, why are you all complaining? If it's one thing about eb2k and xodus, it's that they DO NOT RIP YOU OFF. Not once has anyone ever complained about them taking their money and running with it and not shipping a product. Sure, there have been immense delays. Sure, some people have gotten some...faulty products...But they've never made a fuss about returns, exchanges, cancellations. In the end, they give you the product you paid for or rightly return your money.

So why are you all complaining? Why do you bitch? Because it's Team Xodus? What? Are they MS now? So what they want to make a little bit of cash off of a few people. Yes, they make some outrageous press releases that make you go "Wtf it's only a modchip it's nothing special". But you have to look at it this way, THAT'S BUSINESS. The object of making a business is not the product, it's making that product sound better than what others offer. It's the same in any other industry.

With those guidelines in place, I don't see what problem that actually exists except the people on the other end whining and bitching like little children.

I've still got my chameleon on pre-order and I don't plan on cancelling that.

*and* if you take note of the release date, they've upped it and upped it but in the first time in a month they actually LOWERED it. It was upped to May 5th now it's to May 2nd.

Besides the exclusive deal the EB2k is horrible to us customers. And the Matrix chip is not spectacular at all. It is basically a cheapmod with pogopins and a PIC chip with the feature to turn the chipp off. If there were extremely cheap pogo pin adaptors in assistance with the regular cheapmods we could have been without the lame Xodus Team. I am REALLY glad that I can solder cheapmods under 15 minutes so I don´t have to mess with some horrible alignments. Off course not all peopel want to mess with soldering, but with 1.1 you have to fill the holes with solder anyway so why not just solder a pinheader and the solderings is end of story?

MagamiAKO · « **Reply #14 on:** April 27, 2003, 08:03:00 AM »

They haven't mislead users. They've never claimed that which the chip could not do. They've simply overemphasized what it can do and they've done it better than the competition. That's not misleading, that's business.
