I haven't heard of any issues, except that mine works great and I would say go for it. It would be a great investment, according to me! (You may be asking the wrong crowd here!)
If you are tight on the budget and expecting a tax rebate in April, then you should plan on getting it, and more, at that time! Don't strain the budget now, then you might feel guilty getting it. Instead, plan, save, pine for it, then enjoy it all the more when it arrives! The joy of a long awaited pleasure seems to last longer-- much longer!
That's a good strategy for sex/marriage too. Just analogizing here.
I planned/waited for my Cathe DVDs since 2000 (got them in 2002) and I still value each and every one immensely.
