Interesting thing that I noticed... Look at the picture of the otus on eks' websites. And then look at the picture on the link above. The top left and right on eks has these shinny black rectangles. Which I believe is supposed to be the motion detectors. On Decks.co.uk there are nobs, also the mini jogs on the corners look different too. AHHH!

I really hope the RAW isn't tooooooo price heavy! I could really go for 2 of them.

Should be interesting to see how this controller lives up to all of its hype. I'm mostly worried about the longevity of it, how it handles the club life etc.

They are starting to push it back... again. booo

Yeah, $1500 would be the ultimate turn off. Once again separating the DJs with money and the ones without.

"Look I have fancy turntable so that I can scratchity scratch to the hippity hop yeas, right, I'm cool now. Daddy bought its fors mes."

I believe I would still lust after it. Hmm, I could save that before Christmas. No present for everyone else though. HAHAHA, I have a pretty new toy.... and I got you.... a shoe box! It's a good color. lol
Roberto Viccione

Yeah, but EKS isn't Apple. Though if Otus is 700 Euros (I believe the site I saw said $700) then it'll be around $1500US. Definitely not looking forward to that price tag.

A lot of electronics will have estimated prices before they come out. I believe the I-Pod was like $100 more until it came out. So lets hope for the same.

Well, the info is definitely for the Otus, not the Raw.

LoLz. I might even be dropping Ean a letter, saying I do want to help review products.

Only limitations being... no cam report.

A finnish retailer has price tag of 700 euros for this device. Their distribution info still says it june '08 so the price might be a bit old also but it can be (pre-)ordered from them it seems.

The site is finnish only and i have no idea about the international shipments. I tried to find out but couldn't find any info of international shipments. But if you want to check it out here are the links:

Main page:

http://www.verkkokauppa.com/

EKS Otus:

http://www.verkkokauppa.com/popups/prodinfo.php?id=1073

Edit: Now that i checked more, it seems that int.shipments aren't available. Though it will probably be cheaper for you to buy it from local dealer anyways.

Yeh EKS is a finnish company and you wouldn't be ordering straight from them it will go to retailers. I really hope it makes it to Australia although I'm not so sure.

I could definitely see a transition from my two XP10s to a pair of Otus'! (In my dreams)

Ean has posted an EKS Otus sneak preview in the past...

Would love to see a full hands on for this one.
gilbert hatem

I wonder if Ean, because he get all kinds of cool gadgets to play with, has seen or even touched this. It's hard to find info. EKS is all super sneeky about it. Most of the videos that don't even try to play with it (PROTOTYPE ONLY! Grrr!).

And counting.
gilbert hatem
06.08.2008
I'm sure retailers will get it a week or so before the official release. That's how they do it for CD,DVD and other crap. And yes it would be worth it.

What is the count down? 29 days?
Roberto Viccione
06.08.2008
Well, maybe. It really depends on how we can pick it up. If we can only get it from them, and not from a retailer than I wouldn't be surprised if the costs are there.

But even then I believe it'd be worth it.
gilbert hatem

The company, I believe is from Finland (base on the website www.eks.fi). So do you believe that they will tack on at least $100 because it's imported?

Can't wait for them to start distributing.
Roberto Viccione
06.08.2008
First of all, I'm nowhere near famous. If I was I'd be getting a lot more pay for this shit heh heh

Second, FutureMusic says the otus will retail for under $1000... maybe between $700 and $800, which is really tempting
