I am convinced you guys all went to a different Nationwide Disc.
I think it depends on the rep you get.  I dealt with 2.  The first guy was very tech oriented, and understood (or at least seemed to) that this was going to be "non standard."  But once they got all the assets, I had to deal with a different person.  A very nice person, but completely out of her  league on the technical side.

For OMMDVD, I am getting a similar price per unit that I was getting with NWCD, though I am getting more units (400, versus 300).  The artwork will be of a higher quality, since they were able to use the original Quark files (and not JPGs).

Update on things.

I just heard back form the CD House.  The owner took 2 of the 3 press samples they made and tried them on his Duo, and he says they worked flawlessly -- he apparently had a good time playing MB all weekend.  So all 3 samples are en route to me, and I will have them on Wednesday.

The name of the company is OMM DVD (ommdvd.com), they are in Indianapolis.

So how many hundreds of dollars did they charge you for each test disc?

It was part of the package deal, knowing that Eclipse would fail.

Again, it seems to depend upon which rep you get.  I was told to submit either JPG or PNG images, no other choices were given.

I did everything based on their template faq. They list four acceptible formats. Although their initial covers/label test mockups were terribly off center, that part of the process was actually pretty smooth.

Yeah but, they supplied JPGs?  Or did you? 

JPGs seems like a bad idea.

JPG for print media is a bad idea.

I never included that info -- I suspect it was dictated to someone else.  Typos be damned, the bloody things works, which is more than I can say for the original MB test disc I received in 2004.

I will talk to them tomorrow about the pressing schedule, and once I get an estimated arrival date, I can start looking at orders.

Sweet!!!!!!  Not only do we have a new pressed version of MB, but a new presser to go to!  Though, maybe I'm getting ahead of myself, should wait till the finished games are in all of our hands? :-k
