| Hmmm.... a beta os with hundreds of bugs seems much better than no trace of OS 2.0 anywhere at this point. |
Why so everyone has something ELSE to whine about? Let them fix it right. BOTTOM LINE IS: No matter how much you all whine, bitch, cry, moan and beg, it will get here when it gets here.
i dunno bout you guys.... but my modchip gets the job done!

Same here, I couldnt be happier with its functionality.
The hardest part was getting my Thommy to read the CDRW's. After that it was a cake walk. I FTP to it, I loaded up videos to it, all my pictures, games, what more could you want?
(I only want a LCD so I can turn off my TV at night and still navigate my music without lighting up the whole room)
I want the OS release just as bad as all of you, and im to the point where i do agree its past time for a release im tired of hearing and not seeing. I look at it this way though the updates are free, i dont really NEED them, they are just PERKS. Ive stood behind xenium saying to just give them time but im to the point now that when it comes out it comes out im just very curious to see what its gonna be like. so......to past the time (and this may help some of you, who check for updates everyday lmao) go to my local clubs, get fucked up, and work my ass off during the week.
DAMN YOU!!!!!!!!!!! Atleast you can get into clubs, and get fuxored up...
Meanwhile, my 13 year old sef has to stay at home, play on xlink kai...and fuck.
lucky you..
lmao look me up when you are in SC lmao ill get u a fake id
AHHHHHHH

Agreed.
How many posts of this nature one possebly read?
The moderators should just have a single sticky thread for rants on the topic until/if OS2.0 is released. That way, people have a forum to complain/brag in without new threads being constantly created. Also, it would help prospective mod chip purchases to get some diverse opinions before making a purchase.

I think he's talking about this section of their last statement.

I'd like to apologize for the fact that "soon" has become such a long time. That time has passed very quickly for us, as we've been buried under this heap of code for awhile. For you, it must've seemed like an eternity. My only hope is that now you can perhaps see why this amazing feat has taken so long. Now, within the next few days, you'll be able to appreciate the results of all of the time and effort we've put into this, and why we believe it is the best work any of us have ever done.
Stay tuned for some more exciting news, and an extensive video showing some of our favorite features in action, which should be ready in the coming hours. We will be contacting our initial beta testers individually, starting within the next 24-48 hours, increasing the number of beta testers as results come in, and going to a public beta, and then release, over next week. Please bear with us, as a beta test and release of something this massive is a stressful and time-consuming process. |
How are we going to appreciate something "within the next few days" when there has been nothing for over a week (its now the 28th, that was posted on the 21st). So where is this video that was meant to be out in a few hours? Also its been a week since that post was made, wheres the release of a public beta? Not asking for the final, but the public beta claimed to be released?
Its all bullshit and hype, stinking highly of vapourware. Maybe it's delayed because XOS2 is going to be the core OS of the phantom

Everyone is sick of the pointless announcments and feature lists of a none existant bit of firmware.
Best thing is...

| As is to be expected from a team like ours, (unlike many others) we only begin releasing information days before we are ready to release |
Yeah unlike other teams, sure

April the 8th that was posted, its now May the 28th. Thats not days, thats months. Ozxodus is no better than any other team for releasing, despite their "holier than thou" remarks.
If you're looking for LCD support sell your xenium cheap and buy yourself a smartxx, it'll arrive long before any xenium LCD support is out and atleast you get frequent OS updates.

i wonder if it really is hype or development problems.....

I think they are waiting to see what Xecuter brings to the table. They wont want to seem behind the times, since they have pretty much been behind the whole time, with the exception of being the first to release a new chip.
I think if there were more people in this scene contributing something rather than slagging off guys like xecuter and ozxodus for delays then we'd probably have many more advancements.
ozxodus delays xos2
xecuter delays x3
eb2k delays x-chip
anybody see a pattern?
i think the reason why things get delayed is because the sort of work these guys are doing is difficult and things dont always go to plan.

but wait... x-chip is crap and has no innovations whatsoever
has anyone heard how the beta is going? i'm not sure if hearing nothing would be a good thing or bad thing as far as bugs are concerned. i just hope they don't try to pull the same BS Valve did with HL2 and are using the beta because their timetable was so far off anyway. well i can't wait to see it in action and just want to know how well the beta is going.
