The G-man has admitted that MessiahX (for the Xbox) has delayed completion of the US Messiah. He says that the MessiahX will be available almost immediately, followed by the US and JAP Messiahs.

So it looks like another week's delay. All those who have pre-ordered with me, you are in the first batch. They're all paid for and I'll be among the first if not first.

Update 17-Jun-02
No concrete news from the G-man. I'm still hopeful of the US Messiah coming out in a week's time, though it's would be best to crack the 39001 first. He has to determine whether or not there is a product change or just producing a wiring diagram.

Update 26-Jun-02
Still no news. And while the cat's away the mice are coming out to play - as in Magic Chip at lik-sang.
