Use Bitcoins I dont see why you would ever use a bank wire. Anyway, I just paid for my X3, direct from BA. Fingers crossed.

Im gambling here but as long as we get these before May 1st, I think its probably worth the risk, depends on how much $6k is to you though.

Im guessing the first batch will be sold out this or next week, and hopefully that presses the "go" switch on the 28nm tapeout.
