Maybe I'm not getting upset because I've been through this before with the FPGA's. Just keep mining with your video cards and try to enjoy the holidays.
Maybe I'm not getting upset because my existing GPU/FPGA farm is making decent money for me already... Also I got bought BTC8.5 worth of pies from a local farmer yesterday... gonna be a grand thanksgiving day.
On the other hand, those of us who've dealt with BFL before... were expecting these sort of delays... as should anyone who's ever worked for a small business...
When someone asked me when ASICs were coming out (about 6 months ago) I said well BFL says oct. but it probably won't be until march. I stand by that statement, as it was made then.
With more competition (Just wait Tom's gonna release on time). . . it's becoming more important that BFL get product out the door before Jan. But I wouldn't count on it.
