How odd for an aeroplane that apparently, according to some, has a faulty wing, undercarriage that will rip up most taxiways and questionable crosswind handling has received prompt certification from both Euro and US aviation authorities.
Shame that the decision to offer unlimited variation in Inflight Entertainment has led to such a long delay in delivery times. About time someone invented elastic cabling! Good luck, fly well, all A380s.

P.S. I would put them into service and give everyone books to read.
