3.5 weeks sounds about right compared to the RMA on my OG 512 that had an issue (I was a first rounder then too). I also thought the BOE screen sourcing was to ensure supply chain issues were mitigated, not for cost cutting? Is there a source on it being specifically for costs vs just redundant sourcing? I haven’t been keeping up.

All that said, I’m lucky this time around since my LE seems great out of the box. My OG was #literallyunplayable (I think my old post is still up showing my video of Witcher 3 breaking) so I’m happy that I got a good one this time around, but I totally feel for folks that have to go through the RMA route; it’s a huge pain and very frustrating.

Update… I just got an email saying my payment was accepted, 8 minutes after I closed the website when it said “the item you tried to purchase is out of stock.” So apparently my transaction went through?

Yep. If I get LE, my partner keeps the OG since she uses it a ton already. If I don’t get LE, then oh well.

If LE makes it past 10 seconds I’ll be surprise. Won’t stop me from trying but…
