Any one from Batch 2 at least got any tracking numbers?
Someone failed to read start post in this topic...

Right dood, because when you go buy a computer the price is not based on what it costs to make one, the price is based on what you could be earning on a computer if you lived in China and worked elance.com 12 hours a day.

The cost of computing hardware goes down as the generations go up. The price is to follow value. There's zero economical reason for batch 3 to cost even half as much as batch 1 on a fiat basis. 20 BTC give or take.

If there's demand for 60,000 units at 20 BTC, make 60,000 units and walk home with 100k BTC in earned profit rather than this medieval nonsense of "we're only making 600 so we're charging 5x a reasonable price so as to have 97.5% profit margins" netting you a few ks. Business 101, corporatism 101 etc.

Of course...being a company is hard. Being a retarded asshole is easy. Big surprise when wannabe-companies turn out the retarded asshole eh.
Same cry I heard, when rules for batch #2 were published...
