Has anyone heard anything at all about retailers ever getting units with the updated software? I’m afraid that there won’t be another production run. Even if they do, I’m not sure how we will be able to tell which version we will be getting... |

Good news! A bit worried about customs, will keep proof of everything so I can justify the taxes were already paid and this was a repair. |

Same here! I have just boxed the unit and tomorrow morning DHL should be picking it up from my workplace. In the invoice, the unit value is quite low, we should not have many problems with customs (If any at all, as it's clearly stated as a shipment with no commercial value for repair) |

Excellent! BTW, am I reading the instructions right that we're meant to put just the controller itself in a box for shipping (i.e. without the cardboard packaging it came in)? |

Yes, just the controller. I supose they will ship the unit back with the special box they used for the upgrade program in japan. |
