And will you be offering a trade in program for existing owners of your defective product? |

Main problem going forward is there will be no way to tell if one you order from a secondary source is an old version or new version (Unless they make some sort of product name change or provide a means of knowing which PCB is installed without having to open the thing up and look (and even doing that since it is a drop in replacement there is nothing to stop owners of older units from swapping out the PCB and reselling the new one with an old board they replace which makes purchasing anywhere except direct from them a risky proposition. |

There's nothing wring with the old ones, these are just some improvements. |

Since they want about $100 to ship to Canada, I bought from a Canadian distributor out west, back in April/May. I must have an old PCB because the P1 joystick maps to the numeric keypad. :( |

(switch in same place, connectors all the same, etc) --- End quote --- That's correct, drop-in replacement. --- End quote --- Cool. What happened to the spinner you guys were going to release? |
