Show me the ad for the new mbox. GC is a pretty buttoned down operation. If they were selling it, they'd be advertising it. Yet they still list the old Mbox 2. You guys are hilariously gullible.

The website has nothing to do with the stores in particular. The website is done by the musician's friend people in Kansas City and the stores carry quite different merch; different stores get different things. I believe the report.

Why not tell us the release date and the other secret info you have BG?

Well, information in so far:

The pictures were taken on an Apple iPhone 3G

They were taken at 21 second intervals to each other

The images are of constant quality and do not alter radically to each other

The lines and marks on the top of the unit are uniform in both pictures

The shadow reflected by the USB cable is in-line to the Glyph, so not faked

The connecting cable reflection in the USB socket is not faked

The shadow cast by the unit is accurate for its dimensions

The light glare is uniform on the Glyph and the Mbox, so quite hard to fake

There seems to be an optical imperfection on the upper right corner of each image (barrel distortion), making the outline of the Mbox appear none uniform.

Mbox power light on front panel is reflected in 1/4" jack cable accurately shadow of unit in black cables on left of picture is accurate in dimension

These are initial findings - and could only be further confirmed with 100% size images - at these seem to have been rescaled from the originals?

This is an interesting marketing strategy by AVID. I hereby name it the

Forum Sock Puppet Hype.

On another note I think this will devalue social communities in the long run. Who can you trust...

Yes, viral marketing is here to stay... sadly...

I think we can award BGM the 'Dog With A Bone' Award.

FFS, man let it go, the thing is real, I had it confirmed by a dealer and Avid people, it's going to be up on the site today.

Even more, the guy went and faked an entire page of the user manual? MFG!

I can imagine that is 100% true from what I know and have been told by a few other people who have had that kind of experience...

I think this is pretty simple. AVID wanted to be able to "announce" it while at the same time having it in stock.
