Amusingly enough, the first time I heard this rumour I called S@H to confirm
it as well. The rep said yes, this change was coming up; he went to ask
and came back saying that it was definitely planned, but with no
date set yet.
(Afterwards, others called and were told it wasn't so.)
And now they are *actively* denying it? [But then, once, when I asked about
the 3-times-previously announced 8448 delivery date, they didn't believe
me that *I* had been told it by *them* either...]
While I initially considered it a ploy to temporarily increase
parts pack sales, the fact that they try to cover it until it's
too late just shows rampant stupidity.
Am I surprised? Not anymore.
