| According to the following news on Acube's site, the Sam460CR was supposedly to be available for sale on Saturday 25th. A week has nearly passed and there is no sign of it. Now I know I am not exactly a patient person, but why say something will be available "later today" and then ignore your own press release?
At least have the decency to put a message that "unforeseen circumstances has delayed the release" or something like that.

They never said the CR would be available immediately for sale, did they? They merely said the online shop would get updated. The update can be anything: an ETA, a more detailed info on the product, whatever.

no, but they did say they'd update their store with the price later that day (the day they announced it).

| According to the last post in this thread by K-L they're available and Relec seems to have them.

We already know the price, don't we? It was part of the announcement So I'd expect the webshop update to amount to a little more than that. Let's hope they'll get back to us soon.
@Nibunnoichi Thanks. Funny that Relec got them before Amigakit. What is also funny is that the board in the picture K-L links to still says "Sam460ex". I don't think cost reduction should go THAT far

| @Trixie So why would they put it in the shop?
@Trixie I missed the announcement with the Sam460CR price. Where is it please?
@tlosm So in other words, unless they bring down the Sam460eX price to match the CR's we're in for a very, very long wait.
I doubt very much that Relec, or anyone else has the CR in stock. Last edited by Everblue on 30-Oct-2014 at 04:14 PM. Last edited by Everblue on 30-Oct-2014 at 04:12 PM.

Selling a bare board is an issue until you have a version of the AmigaOS DVD that can boot with a RadeonHD HD5000 or HD6000 or even HD7000 series graphics card. _________________ Sam460ex : Radeon Rx550 Single slot Video Card : SIL3112 SATA card |

If both of us are aware of that, I am sure ACube had already a plan BEFORE announcing the board will be on sale for the day :)
By the way, do Relec ship from France or Switzerland? (makes a difference because of import duty)

It was a unique day for an announcement (AmiWest and Alchemie) . Any other day would not have had the same impact . Give them some time to sort things out.

It was a perfect day for an announcement. I give them that. But they ruined it by saying that it will be for sale on the day when obviously it was not. That's all. Did more harm than good. Last edited by Everblue on 30-Oct-2014 at 04:35 PM. Last edited by Everblue on 30-Oct-2014 at 04:35 PM.

Relec are selling complete configurations so if you cant wait you could contact them. Probably means that you would pay Euro 105.00 for the OS and not Euro 30.00 if you wait for AmigOS4.1 Final Edition . Last edited by Spectre660 on 30-Oct-2014 at 04:42 PM.

Well, I can wait, but it would have been nice to get it for my birthday that's all. My wife is buying it for me. Maybe I should ask for the X1000 instead as that is in stock everywhere =D _________________
