Hi Rhari79;

I'm glad you liked the review.
I bought the DR-900 in Italy, where it's sold in large consumer electronics stores (it seems that they completely ignored, at least initially, Asus' usual retail channel of PC hardware stores). I suppose Asus was trying to get the very last part of Christmas sales.
I paid 300 euros for my DR-900 (well, 299).
By the way, the last version of the firmware on the Asus Support website is still the 394, but at least now they added a changelog... the content of which confirms that the code is still at an early stage (most of the corrected bugs were of type "this didn't work at all"). And the link to download the GPL-licensed source code is still not working.
