I was wondering if there are any negatives with waiting till Christmas to open this baby up. I know some products/manufacturers start the warranty clock ticking from the moment the product ships. Bottom line, will I leave my self open to problems if I don't open and register this baby until after Christmas? (Just say the word and I will rip open that sucker before my wife even knows what happened! lol). thanks, Garry Hi Caleb,

We just got a good supply of SEs into stock yesterday but the regular model is selling out very quickly at retail so now I'm worried about that one. Thanks for your patience and if you have any questions after you get the device, feel free to ask here or better yet on our customer forums in the tech support section of our Web site. Dave & Jim,

Was conditioning myself not to expect my pn-40 SE until after deer season, starts Dec 1 down here in Pa. But even so monitored the blog daily. I'm impressed with the interaction you have given your customers. Coming from a similar environment in regards to trying to foresee deliveries for newly engineered prototypes while trying to magic eye the balancing act and unforeseen problems between engineers and vendors. Then trying to keep end users informed and happy while stretching the truth to senior management you have it all under control and the world isn’t coming to an end. So two weeks two months been their done that hope you guys can soon sit back and enjoy the challenge you pulled off. So with all that said when do I see 5584734? When!! When!! When!! Give-Me!! Give-Me!! Give-Me!! Thanks again for the all the thought and information put into the PN-40 and sales campaign. -Dave- Ordered Oct 11.
