They are showing up in usual places. I got mine from amain.com a couple months back. Still no one has the screen protector though, which is annoying. I'm just buying some other screen protector and gonna cut it to fit today Yeah racing makes one but no one carries it that I can find. Tworks makes one but wants $40 USD to ship.
I emailed a rep abiut the 2 missing features and they said they'd look into it. I'm curious to see what he finds but it doesn't matter, they simple aren't there. So many are switching to the noble that does twice as much for a third of the price and I can see why. I never thought I'd say that id consider switching brands but after my 6pv's life is over I'd consider a jump to Sanwa but the thought of having to get all new receivers and re set up everything is tough.
As far as the 6pv usage goes, I love it. Big upgrade from the old 4pls. I don't anticipate having any issues for years, and I already have a USB receiver adapter so the lack of USB interface is a non issue for me. The vibrating handle I can live without. I don't know if I'd use that anyway. The only thing I dislike is the cheap plastic lanyard loop.
