I am feeling the bitter after taste in my throat now because dates are fkin bullshit. Its like we are used for credit. Ppl paid for the V2 upgrade on the pretext it was promised to be shipped out on 10th September. Ppl all over the world woke up ahead of what their waking time would be to place the order for V2. Its still on the site. Yet no proper explanation is made to explain why this date is not met. :mad:

Reminds me of this joke...

Bank Loan ?

An Indian walks into a bank in New York City and asks for the loan
officer.He tells the loan officer that he is going to India on business
for two weeks and needs to borrow $5,000.

The bank officer tells him that the bank will need some form of security
for the loan, so the Indian hands over the keys to a new Ferrari parked on
the street in front of the bank. He produces the title and everything
checks out.

The loan officer agrees to accept the car as collateral for the loan.
The bank's president and its officers all enjoy a good laugh at the
Indian for using a $250,000 Ferrari as collateral against a $5,000 loan.
An employee of the bank then drives the Ferrari into the bank's underground
garage and parks it there.

Two weeks later, the Indian returns, repays the $5,000 and the interest,
which comes to $15.41.
The loan officer says, "Sir, we are very happy to have had your business,
and this transaction has worked out very nicely, but we are a little
puzzled. While you were away, we checked you out and found that you are a
multi-millionaire. What puzzles us is, why would you bother to borrow
$5,000?"

The INDIAN replies: "Where else in New York City can I park my car for
two weeks for only $15.41 and expect it to be there when I return?"

Apparently he went to India and had his DNA replaced.

WTF guys... Lighten up, it'll get here. With as many Procede units as Vishnu has sold, I doubt Shiv needs your money to float him for a month.

Selling product before actually paying for the product is called float. Wal-Mart makes a nice profit off float, when they turn merchandise in a few days but have payment terms net-90. In fact, some say this is the only profit Wal-Mart makes.

Selling product that does not exist is called fraud.

Selling software product that will maybe exist is called vaporware.

Vaporware is announcing a product well in advance of release - not selling it. Big difference.

LOL get use to it guys. Even though I think Vishnu is a pretty good tuner, they have always had this problem. I was laughing when people were saying that Vishnu had the best customer service ever... which at the time it probably was pretty good as he needed a large sample of people as beta testers to get his product out before everyone else. Naturally during that time the Xede was the best thing since sliced bread until he switched over to the unit made by Haltech in which case that became the new loaf of bread.

Then again to my knowledge Vishnu does not produce anything themselves.. it is all contracted out to other people... which the exception may be the wiring harness and some of the custom changes to the Procede software. So when you hear that it's almost done but it will be worth the wait... then they may just be waiting for their manufactures to finish producing the product. Not that big a deal but just have to think of Vishnu as a tuner and not a manufacturer.... then the wait times become a little more understandable. Vishnu has a big enough fan base on the board now that regardless of what happens, some people will support them unconditionally.

The whole piggyback vs flash deal is another story all together

20 PROcede kits are leaving here today. The rest of them are leaving when we get our next shipment of harnesses in (presumably early next week). We're trying to get some v2 kits out today but the clock seems to be moving awfully fast.
