FM3 Now Shipping

[unix-guy]

Anyone know where they are at in the invites?? Think the last post by Matt a few days back was they were getting close to the end of the AX8 list.

The last post from Matt was yesterday.

The question for me is: 2 FM3 or 1 Axe3? Hmmmm....

 

[unix-guy]

Definitely one AxeIII

 

[White Light of Death]

Definitely one Axe-FX III. No contest.

 

[JoKeR III]

Umm...no.

Umm...yes

That said, today's batch if invites was a good sized one, and we are getting closer to the end of the AX8 list and the beginning of the FM3 list.

 

[DanDesy]

Umm...yes

Others have their eyes open. Thank you.

When are the first FM3s expected to be delivered to G66?

The LAST post from Matt in this thread is what I was referring to. That was not on Friday.

However, it appears the post in question was meant to mean "the last post on topic X".

You ARE NOT allowed to ask questions like that. Your wrist will get slapped shortly.

I guess not even Fractal knows.
I'll make some baseless speculation, just like everyone else here does, just for fun:
I think they don't have enough unit numbers so far to go worldwide. They can't ship more from china until at least April. It's likely that April will still not be the month they are allowed to ship more.
So... the headphone-less version will not be available in europe at all. Purely a guess - G66 will only get units to sell to waitlisters at around June.

This was already confirmed by Fractal a couple days ago.
I'd hope Europe units come direct from China and not have to
go around the world to the US first.

The will go through the US. They have to be flashed with the firmware before shipping.

That wasn't the case for the AX8 either, only AxeFX3.

 

[Clockwork Creep]

Why can't the G66 guys do the flashing?

They did it for the AX8 so I think they will be in charge of doing it for the FM3 too. Eventually.

Or the factory prior to boxing them up. I'd hope the FW is solid enough by now to provide
to the manufacturer and/or G66.
