the 2nd and 3rd batch of ASICminer erupter blades where sold out in a matter of hours ...
for me 1am .. not a chance in getting one.

didn't you order one from the first batch?
PS I cancelled my order for the first batch on the day the bank transfer was due, not because I don't thrust them but because looking at the recent difficulty increase and the arrival date of end-august; the 7000$ would only get me like 5 BTC more when compared to buying now for 7000$.
Assuming I run the device for one year, which is +- 1500$ or +- 10 BTC for electricity (0.20/kwh in belgium...), and 12-day diff increase window of avg 20% (beware, the asics are coming....) the device would yield 71 BTC - 10 for instant electricity payoff = 61 BTC. When buying btc now, i'd get 56. The 5 btc wasn't worth the trouble. And 20% diff increase isn't even the worst case scenario, looks like the next increase will be about 30% (if this keeps on all your 7000$ miners will mine the full total of 20 btc over one year).
Also, if the diff increase is on average only 10%, then I'd have gotten 215 in one year and then I'll feel really pissed in a few months...
Time will answer all the questions.
How do you pay 0.20/kwh? I pay 0.085 w/o VAT in a datacenter (i.e. more expensive than in a private home) a bit outside Brussels. AFAIK, you could be paying more like 0.08 VAT included. 0.20 looks really too much.
