Thank you musky for the great information!! I just hope it isn't true!! But if it is true maybe the coders will pull that ace out of their pocket!!

**Itaintrite** · March 26th, 2009

I hope it's true. Been enough of this waiting game. Making everybody nervous. Only blackscreens and sales going down will get the coders to try harder.

Only time will tell

Jim on the 3/12 retailer chat stated "by the end of the Q2 or the start of Q3, the switch will be complted"

Sony7129 · March 26th, 2009

I agree with Itaintrite 100%. I hope its true cuz I am tired of all this N3 talk. That way the coders have more time to play with. Hopefully the bin begging will end also. "wheres the fix for my receiver" sorry no fix until who knows hehee.

guess we have to dig a little bit deeper!

It's 6:15 pm est and so far it ain't happening. This rumour is running out of time. 5 hrs and 45 min and this schedule is either confirmed or b.s. If they have n3 set up and the bugs worked out, why would they have a schedule to switch over. I think they will switch as soon as they have everything ready. If something was costing you money and you had the means to stop it, when would you do it? Yeah, me too.

**Bud_Alcor** · April 1st, 2009

We all know that n3 is here. Now as we know Internatinals are gone then. as we know hoe rumors spread. Charile tought. Let make it anyday know. The day this happens is the day nobody will expect

It's 4-1-09, and the adult channels are still up?

raray · April 1st, 2009

XXX channels are still up!!

Nitrain · April 1st, 2009

I know n3 is working on bev and other places, but I think they are having technical problems or it would be here. It could be quite a while before everything is switched. My guess is next fall and odds are I'm wrong like everyone else. Let's start a pool.
