2.0 has been near for a long time. It's not like manufacturing saying: 'You guys just got 2.0 finished? OH shucky darn. We just made another million 1.3 machines!'. Why would CBM be caught with a lot of warehoused 1.3 machines unless they had not been planning to release 2.0 in them for a long time? Like maybe Europe said they didn't want it a long time ago? Perhaps sales have been so bad that A500s just stacked up? In that case why not an A3000 Power-DOWN promotion? Turn in your A3000 and $50 and they'll give you two A500s. One with 1.2 and one with 1.3 so you'll be completely compatible with all Euro Game software! -Greg – via Whap!
