Everyone's saying a week for DistorteD, realistically I would guess it should be there by the end of April. I don't think there's an ETA for Pop'n, but it has been purchased so unless Anthony of TGA torpedos the boat it's shipping on, it will definitely be there.
As far as the Pump monitor on 8th, yeah it looks like crap, no I wouldn't recommend learning on it as CS timing is a lot better, but I can go between it and CS games and adjust pretty easily. Jimbo was timing pretty well on it last night too, so although it's not ideal (I kind of hate it too) - it could definitely be a lot worse, I've heard many more horror stories about the monitor on FYE's machine, for example.
BUT I will say after playing on Gold, The Break's 8th makes me want to slit my wrists with Pachara's phone
I see Isaac get AAA's on the break's 8th style often, so the timing certainly isn't impossible... just, different I guess. Especially if your used to CS timing.

No, Im pretty sure it sucks. Anyone can get used to bad timing but that doesnt change the fact that the timing sucks. Same thing with the Happy Sky that was near me. The timing was off but I got used to it and even got AAA's. Of course I later regretted it because it took me months to get used to CS timing again.
waitwaitwait does this mean that they're getting a new machine, WITH a working bass platform? hooly shit I will swim across the Raritan river to get there if they really get it.
