Like I said, up to them. Probably wasn't expecting such a early release from Sony. Hurried the consoles out to certain high market areas and now they sit with failure rates 6 times higher than PS4.
Make sure you keep your slip in a save place...
I'm sure a lot of people might enjoy a regulated Reo. Me personally I don't want it. Too many things can go wrong. Reo is a robust "unbreakable" mod. Add electronics and it changes completely. If you've had your Reo for a week+, you can probably build a coil in 2 minutes.
The problem is you have a problem with the Reo without you actually owning one. Look at this forum and ecf. How many people have switched to Reo and never looked back. If I can give anyone good advice, GET A REO.
Been there, done that. Reo is a bargain to say the least. To get a half decent MVP setup will cost what? R850 for MVP and probably R400 for a descent tank. Then you want to start dripping and find the MVP is not good enough any more. Well I guess I don't have to tell the rest of the story...
