I have no idea whats going on with these guys, pre-ordered one like a year ago, and the website to order them is down, (doesn’t look like its coming back up) and they don’t respond to any kinda of e-mail, the website says its finally here, but not sure where here is. At this point, it seems like its going under, and taking the people who bought controllers with it.

I was very pleased when i read the news about the bodielobus, so i ordered 1. Several months later, i saw no change on their website, so last month i sent them an email, which they haven’t answered. I’m thinking there all having Pina Coladas on some far exotic beach with our money.
If anyone would have some more info, i would very pleased to hear it.
