Got my email this morning and it says my order is being processed. Considering I was one of the first people to reserve order everyone will be getting confirmation soon.

I just got my e-mails, too!!

I knew someone would beat me to the punch on this one. Well played, Casto...well played.

If anyone cares:

Shame they only come in the marvin-the-martian style. :/

Just got confirmation that it shipped, along with a UPS tracking number (which doesn't show up on UPS's website yet). Whoa!

I took the first email ("will ship soon") with a teaspoon of salt, but the second email with the tracking, now that's almost believable. UPS first (friday night) was scheduled to deliever it on the 8th (said was picked up on the 5th), but I just checked again and now (Sat, 4th, late night) UPS went back to the

Quote

"UPS has received shipper's billing information electronically. Billing information received does not indicate shipment pickup or drop-off",

so it looks like it wasn't picked up after all? WTF?!?

Damn, I was all hyped before I checked tonight; I had to add the "almost" before "believable" after I re-checked. I was all ready to get and test it. $:-\$ Hopefully it's just a hiccup on UPS's part, but I don't want to get my hopes up too high.

Still, it's almost in our hands, and that's a lot better than the prior "maybe in a month... nope maybe next month..."

I don't know if they are shipping in order, but mine is scheduled to be shipped the 14th. So maybe it was a typo?

Sasquatch! · « **Reply #8 on:** October 05, 2003, 11:44:19 am »

Mine's out the door! From UPS:

I got an email saying nothing about the lightguns, but that they can't ship to P.O. Boxes. I emailed them back and said that it's a special PO Box that UPS will deliver to and here is, in its entirety, the response they sent back:

Noted.

I'm not entirely sure what to make of that. No tracking number yet, though.

u_rebelscum · « **Reply #10 on:** October 05, 2003, 10:57:02 pm »

Well, UPS tracking again says the guns are "In Transit". UPS database must have been off-line Sat. night, 'cause this matches what is was the night before that, IIRC, except no expected delievery date this time:

Status: In Transit Shipped to: EL CERRITO, CA, US Shipped or Billed on: Oct 3, 2003 Tracking Number: 1Z 52E 8X3 68 9135 993 2 Service Type: STANDARD Weight: 4.00 Lbs Package Progress: Oct 3, 2003 8:05 P.M. ANNACIS ISLAND, BC, CA EXPORT SCAN 8:04 P.M. ANNACIS ISLAND, BC, CA ORIGIN SCAN 7:58 P.M. CA BILLING INFORMATION RECEIVED

Time for me to buy a video card w/ TV out, huh?

Sasquatch, looks like you only got one gun, shame on you!

Howard, hopefully your date was a typo, since Sasquatch and I have our stuff "in transit". I don't pre-order very early, but it wasn't very late either. Maybe your's was supposed to be shipped the "4th" not "14th"? $:-\$

shmokes · « **Reply #11 on:** October 05, 2003, 11:17:32 pm »

I preordered in April if I remember correctly.

Bill_S · « **Reply #12 on:** October 06, 2003, 11:45:40 am »

I don't the when you pre-ordered mattered on this one.
I placed 2 seperate pre-orders. One on the first day they were taking them (whenever that was, I forget) and then another after they announced you may be able to have 2 player.
I have a total of 3 guns coming in 2 shipments and they both shipped out last week, at about the same time.

Yeah, because of people like YOU telling me that two guns won't work under Win 2K/XP!

I know that Act-Labs says that it somehow magically will work, but I'll believe it when I see it.

shmokes · « **Reply #14 on:** October 06, 2003, 07:22:52 pm »

I'm kind of worried. I still haven't got an email telling me my order is even being processed. I just got the email about my not being able to ship to PO Boxes and then the follow up that said, "Noted."

I hope they didn't set my order aside and "forget" about it.

Even if it act labs doesn't deliver we already have a multi mouse solution for xp. Did you look at the news on the main page recently? I even got saint to put it in all caps.

If you want to see more than "In Transit" from UPS, you must click on the "Details" link below the listing..... This way you can see what city the package is current located in (or left from).

I received mine yesterday (and I'm in Canada!). I haven't had I chance to try it yet, though. I came in a plain white box, no retail packaging. It does have printed instuctions though, unlike the PC gun I believe. I may get a chance to try it tonight!

ActLabs' headquarters are in Canada (BC). Mine were shipped from Canada, and I'm in the US. [shrug] It's excepted you'd get it quickly once it's shipped.

Tomorrow for me, if no problems with shipping...
