What is a bad batch? CycloDS had a bad batch, fixed the issue and now 1 in a couple of hundred fail. Thats a bad batch.
Acekard 2, for us, and im sure others, has had 3~4 bad shipments in a row.
We sent 75 dead ones back to them so they could fix the problem. 3 weeks later we email them to ask how its going, and if they found the fault and the answer was 'HUH?! you sent them back?'
They continue to sell well, and come back.
Here is the next batch we are about to send back, 195 of them.
My advice to gbatemp is to avoid them at all costs.
You get a faulty ak2 and it pisses you off, you get a second fauly 1 and it will destroy you.
The real pity is that the menu system on the Ak2 is my favorite - its so damn fast, and clean.
But its really not worth it, even if the damn thing was $5 including shipping for you guys. At the end of the day you want a card that will last the test of time, you dont want to to spend 2 months without a working product!
If enough people avoid their shitty hardware, they will finally get the message and fix the situation. You think after getting 1000s back they would stop production for a second and see the the hell is going on right?

edit:
Ok, perhaps a bit dramatic.
They are listening and working on the issue, they are just not big on communication (different time zones, language barrier).
They do care, they do have the power to be the best of the 'cheaper' flash cards - the next few weeks will be interesting
