Just an update. Now when you search for Echo it says "Get it by Tuesday Dec,23." It's still not letting me order one, but it's looking more promising.

Gardenman -- every time I see your name as the last poster, I keep hoping you got your invite and in turn I would get mine. I guess I am starting to lose hope on getting the $99 invite. If available, I don't know if I will get the Echo for $199. I may have to hold out to see if there is a second version released where some of the problems would have been worked out. Or, if a lot of customers don't rush for the $199 version and the price drops down.

On an aside, those last five seconds yesterday in that game were absolutely devastating.

3dlovely. That whole game was a bit of a mess. I just wait for Sanchez to make his big mistake and he seldom disappoints. That was an ugly interception at the worst possible time yesterday and you just knew it was coming. Oh well, barring a complete meltdown by the Cowboys, it should be a stress-free playoff for Eagle fans. We get to watch from the sidelines yet again.

I'm a Jets fan and am very familiar with Mark Sanchez.With all his flaws I would take him back in a minute!

This morning it says the 24th...the date keeps changing. I still can't order either....DW

I wonder why they aren't allowing any reviews on it yet?

They haven't sent any sample units out for reviews yet, but a few reviewers have bought them (either personally or through e-bay) and there are a few reviews out there. Some are raves and some are pans but overall most owners seem very, very happy with their Echo's.

And dancingwoman is right, they've changed the date to the 24th now. Interesting. It was the 23rd earlier this morning.

Be careful what you wish for. He's a free agent after this year, so he could end up back with the Jets. With the Eagles he has a ton of good weapons and a good offensive line, but he hasn't been very productive. Put him on the Jets as they stand now and he'd have many more problems. The Jets need skill players at pretty much every offensive position and no quarterback is going to thrive there until they upgrade the surrounding cast. The Jets offense is probably two to three years from being good regardless of who the quarterback is.

And in an odd quirk the get it by date is now back to the 23rd.
