Lots of pictures to view:

I haven't had the time to really test it, once i do i will put up a review of it (although some may find it lacking in the overall depth of technical analysis) i will try and give a comprehensive review of it, i'll also post a video review soon, you can find it on my youtube channel but probably won't get that done till tomorrow or Sunday. |
Congrats on receiving the amp today, the pics and size comparisons were nice. I checked out one of your video reviews and I'm really looking forward to your e5 review. Hope to see it soon, please keep us updated.

Oh, I had a missed delivery from DHL today. Wasn't sure what it was but I just tracked it and it's from Kowloon, Hong Kong. Must be my E5! Cool, so I'll have it on Monday...
He did say this would be different from the final version...

I imagine it would come down to small stuff like color.

They always say that to account for little things that you may not like. But I don't think it will, isn't it about to hit the stores?

My optimistic guess is before the end of this month.

Or maybe it won't because you guys keep hyping it up so much it won't live up to your unreal expectations....

or maybe because if the e3 blew them away (for the price) then the e5 would be even better (again for the price).

I'm sure the darn thing will be great, but I'll have to wait to pass judgment until I have the E5 in hand. But, here's hoping for nothing but awesomness!

I hope this thing comes out before December 7th, because thats when I go see Metallica, and then I fly back across the country to visit my parents for Christmas. If it's not out by then I'll have to wait till January.
