I run the numbers for hi-def nes once a week to keep Kevin paid, but I get constant questions about the order, is it here yet, will I get one if I order now, etc.
So we’re at 455 sold as of end of day 8-28. Looks like we sell about 25 a week on average.
So you unless you order in the 2 weeks you’ll have to wait longer for yours to get shipped!
And no the first 500 have not yet shipped from china, i’ll post when they do.
So there’s some news finally. It seems china ran out of the FPGA that is used in the kit. So Kevin had to order them from a US supplier and ship them to the chinese fab! This may put a delay on shipping, but it’s too early to tell really. We have sold about 430 kits of the 500 ordered, so if you order soon you’ll get one from this batch. Again, do not ask for an ETA, I simply can’t come up with one. I also still get emails asking if the connector has been moved out, this was covered in the update vids, but yes it has been moved 3mm out so cutting the hdmi cord will not be necessary on the top loader and av fami installs.
Sorry I didn’t update last week when I said they would be ordered, but the ordered has been made as of today. We ordered more than have been paid for so you will most likely still get a kit this round if you get your order in soon. I’ll try to post again when I think kits are sold out for this batch order.
We are going to order the first batch of kits for pre-orders tomorrow, but we do plan to order more than have been ordered so there will be some extras if you don’t get your order in on this batch order.
Pre-order sales page has been turned on! It will only get turned off if I need to fix something.
I spotted one of Kevin’s nesrgb modded top loaders on ebay and took a look and was not impressed:
The switch on the 800 sticker looks terrible! Plus it’s a rare 106 version!
There’s more to the removal of course, but I won’t go in to it. We will not warrant his work for any hi-def installs so if you had plans to let him do it I suggest you find another modder.
I got an early start and was able to get out several more kits before the carrier came to pic them up.
