Japan update!

All MS pro duos are out of stock everywhere. Again. The retailer I talked to was like "I have no idea when we're getting more. I could have sold hundreds of these during Golden Week, but there's simply no stock anywhere."

CONGRATULATION SONY

 

[Kobun Heat]

Right now that's not a business that we're in, besides the 32 MB memory stick. We'll leave it up to our sister company to try and take advantage of these opportunities.

The cheapest I can find them for is $150 and In-stock w/ 15 dollars ground shipping. Too rich for my blood =/


All Dell orders were pushed back to early-June :lol :lol :lol

This is like, your mom makes the most awesome cookies in the universe, and you're going to sell them at the church picnic. You have more than enough cookies and everyone is like "Shit! These cookies rock! Now how about some milk? I'll pay you a HUGE fucking premium for a glass!" All you have is a half-gallon of milk. +300 thirsty people, and all the stores are closed until next week. Good job!

My reply:

HI DELL PEOPLE!!!!

My order number is xxxxxxxxxx. DO NOT CANCEL MY ORDER, I WANT TO CONTINUE MY ORDER!

...AND BOY LET ME TELL YOU WHAT, I'M SURE GLAD YOU'VE KEPT MY PURCHASE ON BACKORDER FOR THE LAST THREE MONTHS!!! My dad always used to tell me that "The anticipation of getting something can be more fun than actually having it," and BOY IS IT TRUE!!! Gosh, if you keep me waiting any longer I MIGHT JUST DIE OF EXCITEMENT!!!

Your fine on-time shipping has made me want to order ALL my computer equipment by Dell!!! I'd love to order that Dell Dimension tomorrow and get it sometime by next Christmas, BUT ONLY IF YOU THINK YOU CAN SWING IT!

GOLLY I CAN'T WAIT TO TELL ALL MY FRIENDS ABOUT THE PROMPT SHIPPING QUALITY DELL SERVICE!

So again, please don't cancel my order; you have my assurance I will not inconvenience you with any future purchases as I will be happily looking elsewhere.

Signed,

Sho Nuff

I can not belive it only goes up to 2GB! and it's so expensive!

after owning and iPod and plent of other hard drive based systems 2GB seems like absolutely nothing.

 

[Baron Aloha]

They canceled my order after I called them twice and explicitly told them not to. I called them up and complained and they gave me a $40 coupon to use online. I used it to get a PSP game for free (yes, Dell sells a few PSP games) and later I bought the mem stick for $99 online at that photo place that was selling them. Dell gave me free 1-2 day shipping on my free PSP game too.

 

[john tv]

I got the same mail. July 29 now. I told them I'll never be ordering anything from them again once this order is complete. I'm eager to see what their response will be.

 

[john tv]

We do apologize for the delay in your order

You guys are still trying to get this MS from Dell? :lol

Don't blame Dell for this one, looks like Sony decided to cancel this Memory Stick. No retailer has a shipping date from Sony.

 

[Defensor]

What the hell man. I told them to not proceed with the order for the sticks beause it was taking to long about a month ago and I got them at that online photo place within 3-4 days shipped. And for some reason they still sent me an email today asking for permission to go ahead with the delay?..

Yeah, my amazon order has been on hold for nearly two months.

I finally canceled it.

 

[The Faceless Master]

[Wario64]

I refused to cancel that order after all the bs thats happened - i was expecting it to get delayed forever.

 

[maynerd]

Interesting, I never "canceled" my order but they said it would be. I have since moved. I hope someone isn't enjoying my memory stick at my expense!

 

[Laguna X]

My order was cancelled (by Dell not me). Hopefully, it'll still come in.

 

[john tv]

Mine showed up today...

 

[Jim]

Coincidentally, Outpost's $74.99 (with rebate) SanDisk 1GB card just arrived today also

 

[Starfire]

Just ordered a 1GB Pro Duo for $79.99 (89 with shipping) from erwincomputers.com, never ordered from them before though, and their return policy seems a little wonky.

Last time I checked Outpost the sale was over (cry), but the $10 rebate is still there.

 

[The Faceless Master]

shoulda went with a reputable site like newegg... $82 for sandisk, $88 for sony

 

[The Faceless Master]

even smaller! smallest so far!
