Those of you who ordered the BBA from sega store.

How long did it take you to recieve yours?

I ordered mine last tuesday with a VMU and recieved just the VMU a few days ago. Same day I got the VMU I called the sega line(which charges btw) recieved no answers to any of my questions.

I ordered my BBA in mid january. Still don't have it. They're way backordered, and as one email from customer support states "They should be shipping this week."

I guess they got some in.

I ordered it the day it came out and i recieved it about a month later....

Hmm I don't know what the problem is with your orders I ordered mine on a Thursday or a Friday for 2 day delivery and got it on Monday of the next week...

Onexero,

Did you order yours a while ago? Say... before PSO came out? Or do you live in Japan? Because PSO has caused the sega store to get real backordered on the BBA. I haven't heard of anyone getting a timely delivery for the last two months.

thats odd, i ordered mine on a saturday a few weeks ago and recieved it that next wednesday, so 4 days. =)

Here is the story on the BBA.
1st. orders placed the 1st 3 days were not shipped for 3 weeks. Why? Don't know, apperently neither do the folks over at Sega.
2nd. If you haven't received the BBA you might want to consider cancelling it.
Here are the Reasons:
BBA support pulled from Daytona
BBA support not going to be implemented in most new games.
Browser 2.6 will NEVER officially be released in the US.

I already cancelled mine. After seeing how I can hook my DC to my PC and use its cable connection I don't need the BBA. With the modem I get almost no lag. Just disconnects, using my PC's cable connection will eliminate that.


These are just things to think about.

How did you hook it to your PC? If you post a link I would appreciate it

there is a topic about it in this forum.. not very difficult. Easier if you run Win2K though, which I do fortunatly.

the BBA works great for me... It cost the same as 1 game.... It will work for alot of the new games including the 2k2 titles... ALso that dc to pc trick doesnt work with all games, only the few that support blind dialing.... That basically means some games need to hear a dial tone to dial... I forget which ones, but there are a few.....
