Hmm well if it takes as long as Europe then it means that you get a few samples for testing but you can not buy samples probally after the holiday season.
Really Ritek is slow these days when it comes to actually launching the products.
Infact Verbatim was allways bad at this. However ritek these days seems to even outperform verbatim when it comes announcing months ago and then take there time to put the actuall product on the market.
Now in Verbatim/MCC's case then the problem most times is also quite decent supported. Now I hope that this is the case with Ritek still I have some doubts.
