I don't understand why they are shipping new units out with 257 and not making that avavilable to those of us who already have units.
If you are shipping new units with the new software, that software should be available for us to download as well. Especially if there is improved reliability and additional features.
Edit: This seems backwards.. it seems if you are testing.. keep it internal or for the team and then roll out to the public. Or if you want additional feedback, make it available as a "Beta".. so those of us who already have an RX8 Gen 2 can install and provide feedback. We have heard 257 being out with new units since November.. it is now February, that is 4 months now.
