Here's a copy of my post on another forum. Just wanted to get the news out to other forum members who may be effected by the delay.
Here's the scoop... There is a delay till the week of 12/11/06 for the HD-A2, due to the product not passing final QC and testing on all HD DVDs with all functions and features.
The problem has been isolated to a single chip, a somewhat minor component, which is supplied by a third party IC manufacturer.
Of course, this last minute problem is not an HD DVD format issue, we all know the excellent video and audio quality HD DVD produces through our experiences with Toshiba's A1, XA1 and now the Xbox HD DVD adaptor success.
More news is we will have ample supply of A2s the week of 12/11 and the HD-XA2 is still on schedule for the last week of December 2006.
Finally, I have a silver lining to offer my A2 friends to get us all happy again.
