...but it's got a RISC processor & VFD display. Probably only time before they add a HDD to it.

LINK

If they can get them out at the price they're quoting, I think they'll sell rather well.

I sure do love products that print their feature list right on the front. That's helpful if you ever forget what it is. It would also help thieves when they're out ``shopping''.

Like people who have personalized license places that say "MY BEEMR" or "03HUMMR".

Oh, I didn't realize that you owned a Hummer until I saw your license plate! It's a good thing you got that personalized plate to tell me that you owned a Hummer, because when you RAN ME OVER I thought it was a Geo.

I d/loaded the vids, seems like it already has an HDD inside...But really, at that price it would be amazing, cause they claim to be upgradable as oposed to Sony and Pioneer's HDD-players.

There are a lot of things that say they're "upgradable" but in most cases you won't ever see the upgrade or if they do manage to release an upgrade any significant changes. Most companies would prefer for you to buy their latest and greatest instead of just extending the life of your old equipment. I know empeg is an exception.

Pioneer and Sony units also can be flash upgraded I believe which is what this unit does.

Yeah, you're probably right. I didn't know about the Sony and Pioneer though, thanks for that!

Ah. Remember, just because it IS upgradable doesn't mean Pioneer and Sony will release any upgrades for it! I think it's mainly for bugfixes. Can't quite remember where and who said it had flash for the firmware.

It does look quite interesting though for it's price. I think I'll stick with the empeg for now

Hehe Me too!

But I'll keep looking for that player, just for curiosity. It's a russian product (at least that's what I understand) and I think that's quite amazing.

Yeah - it definitely does look interesting. Judging from my experiance with Russian products either it will be a VERY high quality product or it will just be a piece of crap - hopefully the former.

Kinda like this?



And I know that there are a few out there who are dying to find out what DSM means...

*laughs*

That's not as bad as one I saw the other day. It was on a bright yellow Subaru WRX, and the plate simply read "WRX". Now I like WRXs (I own an Outback), but come on. Way to state the obvious, dude.

I'd really like to know who all has the "EMPEG" plates in the world.

robric has New York state.

I'm considering getting NJ, but I'm worried it'll spoil my stealth "family station wagon" install. When I get my nice new 8 speakers + sub + maybe another amp, I'll be even MORE worried.....

I live close enough to NJ that I may buy a house there some day. I would appreciate it if you would not get them so if I leave NY, I can still have empeg plates.

I think I'm going to get it on my new wife's car when we get married in a couple months and she moves her car instate. I don't believe anyone has it in South Carolina yet. I've already got an empeg set aside for her car .

If anyone is interested in the NJ version, here is the link to DMV / MVS to register it. I would do so myself, but a) I have a stealth install and b) I already have customized plates. Pity NJ is in the stone age, and there is no on-line form or even a search to see if it is already taken...

Many states don't want you to find out at all. So it may not be a case of stone-age technology, but stone-age legislation.

Valid point, but NJ was one of those states where they were selling the data to the highest bidder at one point, including selling the data to individuals (in case you wanted to track down that driver who cut you off last Tuesday).

TFabris has California. I tried to get EMP3G, but they wouldn't let me as it's to close to EMPEG apparently.

Or this?



(Just in case there's anybody on the planet who has missed out on my incessant bragging about my car, that is a Ford Taurus station wagon with complete SHO powertrain, brakes, suspension, and interior. One of maybe 10 in the world so equipped. A moderately bad-ass grocery getter!)
