Same, but I think I'm going to give up and just buy a Jasper Pro and then pick up a black faceplate for $10 off of eBay. I'd like the extra hard drive space (and I might need that extra dongle so that I can get HDMI output
and digital optical audio output), but I've grown weary of waiting.
I have a bit of a dilemma: I get an extra discount off the purchase if I buy by April 26 (20% off instead of my normal 10% employee discount). So, do I buy a black Elite for the cheaper price, and then hang onto it for up to 90 days still in its sealed box, which would allow me to exchange it for a Jasper Elite? If it's true that they might be discontinued, I'm SOL. Otherwise, I could get a Jasper Pro and be playing in a week.
Or do I buy one of each and wait a couple months, returning the one I don't keep (exchanging the Elite if the Jasper Elites every appear)? ~ $700 tied up in console hardware for a couple months... Ugh!
I'm not in any hurry, since I won't have much free time for gaming until the summer. But by early June, I'd like to have a playable system that I can keep.
