    They just shipped mine last Friday. I was on the phone with critical team and he runs the test the way I want it (play intense game at-tab + ati tool overnight burn-in test. Final spot checking every physical part of the body paint, hairline crack, etc.. by him. He manage to spot a mistake though. Wrong name on the name plate.

    I will post here when I receive my replacement set. Hope it will not DC.

    Wow, that's good that he spotted it and can fix it but, bad in that they got it wrong, or was it a typo?

    Did you order yours online or ring them up and order it?
