i never accused EA of being dishonest i simply implied that given the truth up front about a lead time would really help the argument of not receiving a product upon your "honest" estimate, and if your honest estimate is off by that much well that would tell me to re evaluate your estimate time...
would have done the same that is a bit extreme to wait that long, at least should be discounted or kept updated as to how far they are TRUTHFULLY behind. I was in the market for one but now i'm not so sure i want to bother.
