It looks like not many care about what they will be buying on day 1, judging by all the preorders. I personally am going to wait for some solid info on features/performance/stability/quality to make up my mind. It's AKAI we are talking about after all, it would be unwise to buy blindly.
I completely agree, gear lust and hype seems to be getting the better of people. It does surprise me, given the bug ridden 1.0 release, 'Vintage-Mode-gate', 'MPC3000-circuitry-gate' etc that people are being so quick to assume these products will be on point, with many of them already selling their existing MPCs in anticipation. I'm not saying that the X/Live won't be fantastic, but you might want to at least wait for a few weeks to see what the reviews are saying - not just the hardware, but 2.0 as well.
I get the general gear lust thing, these days we are programmed to want the latest shiny toy, but people are acting like life cannot go on unless they get these these new MPCs asap.
