Engrish makes me laugh. Which is why I keep on cracking up whenever I go to Japan. Even though I understand Japanese.

It's getting better, ko. Obviously, there are the Japanese folk who try to speak English and end up looking silly, but then again, we non-native-Japanese speaking folk end up doing so often too, regardless of our level of proficiency.

Also, am I right in saying that MMB is mainly staffed by Mandarin Chinese-speaking folk?

Not sure, but their language along with the inability to ever reach them makes me thing some days that their whole company is a joke

Yup. Fluent in Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, and English. (Limited Engrish skills.

) Well, seeing I was born in Japan, raised by a Chinese mother and a Japanese father, and moved to the US when I was eight, it's really not as much an accomplishment as a necessity.

I sound like a complete idiot when I speak Japanese or German, so if they're non-native English speakers, I can still respect they're Engrish.

Then again, they're based in California. You know how California can be.

(no offense to any Californians out there, we Oregonians just take every chance we can to make fun of your state)

Honestly, I feel like this problem arose at the one time I decided to go with them. I did a lot of rescerch on the right pad to buy, and even then, I think I screwed myself

Hm...I suppose I was one of the lucky ones then; they did answer all my emails within the week. And the pads arrived safely on time, and they're perfect.

Actually, I set up DTG as a way to boycott MMB without boycotting DDR. I'm not making the BlueShark a bad pad, but I plan on making an equally good pad for about the same price with good customer service. If BlueShark sees this and pulls their act together, then great. If not, great! I'm just turning a lose-lose situation into a win-win situation.

Also, it gets me lots of publicity. MUAHAHAHAHA!

Well, I've been researching metal dance-pads for the past few days, and so far, I'm always led back to MyMyBox's BlueShark and Nexen pads. I would really like to get a BlueShark, but $400 seems a bit much. I would look more into the Nexen, but it seems that MyMyBox hasn't had any in stock for a while (I've been checking back over the past few weeks), and I'm quite skeptical about ordering from E-bay or any other 3rd party seller.

So if my dad will be willing to pay $400 for my gift, then I'll probably go with the BlueShark, if the Nexen doesn't get a fresh shipment in. Also, it seems that the only BlueShark pad they have is the one with the bar. I was planning on building my own bar with the barless BlueShark, but it seems that they won't get any in for a while. From what I've read, the bar's very wobbly. I'm a 9-10 footer, so I'm approaching the difficulty in which the bar's your best friend.

So, do you think I should pursue a BlueShark with a bar, or keep my fingers crossed that they get more Nexen's or barless BlueSharks in?

So, are these mats still the best that you can get? It seems that all the good mats are turning into crap lately (CF & RO).

The Blueshark? I believe so.
I have two, and I can honestly say they're the best home pads I've played on.

Here's what I say if you want a great metal pad and aren't going with DTG:

Get a cheap pad first.

Tear it apart, but make sure you memorise how it goes together while you do.

Then get a BlueShark.

If there are problems with it, you'll be able to fix them, unless they're problems with the sensors, in which case the best you can do is replace them.

MMB will not help you.
From the second you confirm your payment, you're worth nothing to them.

Well i shouldnt say finally, it took me about 10 minutes talking of the phone with them to get tht order fixed. Though i had to have them email me the correct phone number as its not listed on thier site.
I get it on friday acording to fedex.

I hope this is as good as you guys say because i pretty much bought it from your recomendations.

Not to afraid of having to take it apart if i need to fix it, heck i built several arcade cabs for my family room, and am looking forward to adding this.

If its as good as you guys say i will order another in a few weeks.
