Reading the last few posts made me frustrated enough to actually use this account to post.

There are two ways for people to have already played on the Afterburner Pad:
They work for Red Octane. Yes, workers of Red Octane do come here, but they can put their job on the line by revealing a bunch of info.
They went to the ITG launch party that just took place in San Francisco last Wednesday night. Pictures can be found on Orange Lounge's picture gallery.

Edit: And judging from the pictures on Orange Lounge, this pad is looking very sleek and sexy.

Nobody that went to the launch party said very much about the Afterburner Pad or the ITG home version yet--either they're still not sober enough to use the Internet or they are under some kind of solemn oath.

I think it'll ship sometime in May and when it does arrive, it'll take 5 to 7 days for them to ship it out.

Saint Paul to be exact.

If you live somewhere in the area then send me a PM and maybe we can get together after the pad arrives and I'll letcha test it out.

It now says 2-3 days. Does this mean my pad arrives in 2-3 days or they begin shipping them in 2-3 days?

I don't know. My tracking number still yields "shipment not found"... although my order is stored on red octane, DHL does not have a shipping number for it.

I am so close to getting an A on Drop Out! (Light). My cheap pad just can't get the timing close enough... I can't wait for this thing to show up so I can finally A that song.

That means that when they are in stock, it'll take them 2-3 days to ship it out to you.

ugh I want one sooooooooooo badly but the shipping is $40!!!!! Unless there is another cheaper way I'm gonna have to beg for money in my DDR club and say it's for the club.

Shipping to the west coast was 47$ and some change for 3 day select.

If you did ground, it went up to about 54$ some....

Probably costs more for the east coast.

Yeah I did ground shipping and it was $61. Wish they'd hurry up. I'm getting impatient.

Okay, so it looks like the Afterburner is now released and available for purchase on the RedOctane website. I'm new to DDR and would like to get a metal pad. I had my eye set on the Afterburner before I realized that shipping will add $50 onto the price (I thought their free shipping offer covered metal pads, which it doesn't).

So now I'm left with the decision of getting a TX-3000 ("tournament edition", no bar) off of ebay for around $195 shipped or an RO Afterburner from RedOctane.com for around $250 shipped. I want a pad that will last the longest and if it breaks I'd like to be able to modify it to work again (that's the only thing that worries me about the TX-3000). I know that few people have tried out either pad, but does anyone have a suggestion either way for which pad looks the most reliable? The RO warranty doesn't mean much, as I'd rather fix a pad myself than pay $50 shipping to have RO send me another broken one.
