i looked at the website. it says it will take 3-4 weeks for delivery. is this item made to order and thats why it takes 3-4 weeks or this product is still in development hence the 3-4 weeks delivery?

sorry for the noob question... just wondering.

Ordered one as well. Wonder if I still need an HDFury if the iScan Duo can turn off HDCP on the input?

HDCP isn't the problem. The problem is the missing RGBHV output on the Edge and the Duo. You can use a cheaper, non HDCP-complient HDMI-VGA converter, but the HDFury is known to work good, especially since it leaves the output resolution untouched otherwise.

HDFury is still available from the manufacturer -- it ships direct from Taiwan so customs might be a problem depending on where you are. Is there a crackdown on HDCP strippers? I figured one would come eventually, but I haven't read anything pertaining to it.

I pre-ordered one, direct with Bencao74 a couple of weeks ago. By all accounts stock was not ready to ship then, but I would be informed when it was. I can only assume that stock is not ready to ship as I have not heard anything yet, which maybe why the lead time for orders now is looking at 3-4 weeks. From Fudoh's post it looks like the retail side will be ready to go soon, so the wait should not be long. :)

HI
I,m producing the units. The first charge is sended to Jochen, he will send them to you like a first in, first out buffer. :mrgreen:
The next charge is on the way, the same procedere as before. And so on. :arrow:
No probs anyway, I think. Just the "time lag" between producing and sending. But no more time lags at gaming in future!! :idea:
Regards from D

If you think you might have a use for the HDFury sometime in the future, and you live in the U.S or Canada, you might want to buy one now

Winni! According to google translate your signature should read "I'm not incompetent, just a night person with a day job!" It's very odd and not easily understood the way it's worded currently

With my time machine? I thought I covered this...maybe in the US people will still have a shot. Even ebay is looking scarce, and as far north as I am you can just forget about Kijiji...

Utter insanity. People rip blu-ray's digitally, and they're worried about me converting something to analog to add scanlines, or heaven forbid--display on my Dell 2405 that doesn't support HDCP?!

I'm all for shutting down piracy, but this move does not help anyone.

Sorry--I'm bitter ATM. I ordered a SLG3000 just now and I have no (easy) was of using it thanks to government numskulls caving to idiotic requests from lobby groups in countries other than my own...

I'm going to get one of these but may I know what shipping method do you offer? It's going to be holiday season over here soon so I'm a bit worried if the delivery got messed up. Thanks.

Wow, I see Winni has been working like a maniac lately. I thought the final version of the SLG3000 would use some kind of casing... oh well, it'll add a ghetto flavour to my setup :mrgreen:

HDgaming42, I feel your pain as I also have a Dell 2405FPW. I use a D4 cable from my PS3 to a XRGB-3 and HDCP content plays nicely on the monitor. Not as easy set up as just using an HDFury but since I already had the XRGB-3 it save me some money here. The D4 provides 1080i and 720p resolution though, no 1080p.

You could get yourself a nice black, shiny "Euro-case" and cram it in there.

Not big deal really, as long as it works I'm happy. With my 16 month baby running around and touching everything in her path I have to be extra careful.

Not a fan of that phase. They grow up fast though.

Hey,

just wrote a reminder for all you guys who pre-ordered and not paid yet. So I think now is good time, the SLG 3000 is ready to ship.

Shipping method worldwide via German Post or DHL is normally delivered wordwide in 14days. I`ve experienced shipping times to USA in 5 - 10 days.

Shipping with tracking and insurance is reccomend by buying two or more pieces. Tracked shipping starts at 16€ and has shipping time about 4 weeks and more.

Resellers have been barred, but you can still order direct. I don't know about customs...

If you stake out the AVScience and curtpalme marketplace forums you should almost certainly be able to snag one, or I'm sure someone here at shmups could ship you one from the US.

So, does anyone want to take on bulk-ordering the SLG3000 for those of us in the US? And how hard would it be to mount this into an enclosure?

Sent the payment off for mine. Can't wait for it, especially after Fudah pointing out a use that never occurred to me. Using the XRGB for interlaced material and then laying over the scanline mask of this nifty item. Finally PS2 3rd strike looking proper with minimal work and devices.
Damn Tim, you know there are quite a few Americans out there who still lives in tents due to this shitty economy, and you're dropping loads on a single game which only last 20 min. Do you think it's fair? How much did you spend this time?
