release date: This was released by Sony on the 20th - what's the hold up Amazon?

Sony has this backordered until 05/09/2011, so I imagine they are having a tough time filling their orders.

On QVC, it is now on clearance for 349.99--while Amazon still says not yet released. I'm thinking of getting it from QVC--especially since they have reduced it $50.

Nope, it's been pushed back to approximately December 17 according to other retailers both in the US and Europe. This is the second time Panasonic has missed an estimated date given to retailers. As a consequence Amazon is systematically canceling the earliest pre-orders that are hitting the 60 day wait mark. One customer who's order was canceled was told by an Amazon rep that Panasonic canceled Amazon's order so basically they don't know when they'll be getting a shipment.

My hope is that Amazon is being cautious and giving themselves a buffer now. So that when you possibly get it on the 7th you'll be pleasantly surprised. That being said it sounds like Amazon got their shipments in late so that instead of having them day(s) before release so you get it on release day...now they are all after the date. That's what is sounded like when I talked to customer service. Very apologetic but not much they can do. I have 1 day shipping and it's the 8th for me too. I also confirmed that they did NOT oversell the preorders. That was my fear.

Looks like it's Wizards. I have it for pre-order too and I jumped on the Wizards site right away and noticed that it was still saying late November so I began cursing Amazon. When I went to look right now to post the URL as evidence they'd updated it to Feb 15. http://www.wizards.com/dnd/Product.aspx?x=dnd/products/dndacc/214420000 I suppose Amazon's off the hook then.

I have called amazon 4 times now... nobody knows anything! It says all over the internet that the Samsung models HAVE been released, and it's the Acer ones that have been delayed... no one seems to know anything. I'm tired of checking my orders 20+ times a day, I'm ready for them to ship it! I mean I preordered it June 9th and everything... it should've been delivered to me tomorrow :[

I saw a release date of 28th Feb for the UK, but I'm sure I saw 11th Feb somewhere on Amazon.com yesterday (although I can't see that anywhere now).UPDATE: a quick search on the web shows "March sometime" as being the current info. I think Amazon.com made a typo somewhere, hence I can't find it again.

I've been in B&H;'s preorder list since 1/4/13 and still has no news. Heard the rumor that Sony is NOT going to sell this bundle in the United States. (They took out 5RL from their official website completely).

I know! I'm getting really frustrated myself. It makes me question if I should ever pre-order from amazon again? They don't update you on anything!

On the availability. Amazon told me 11 February. When I asked what they based their estimate on, given the manufacturer's estimated of March 2011, they have been strangely quite, not answering my e-mails. Makes me think there was more than a bit of deception going on, trying to increase pre-orders. Otherwise, why wouldn't they answer my question? Not too remarkably, they quickly changed my status from estimated delivery to "not released". This isn't the first time I've seen Amazon lie when it suits their purpose.

Being in Hawaii I do not think you will get it on exact day of release. If you look it only talked about continental US for day of release arrival. You might want to ask Amazon directly because you might be disappointed.

it's out now. $199.00 at best buy. don't know why amazon hasn't gotten it yet.

I dont't understand the logic here. This product is being advertised all over the web that it would be released on the 22nd. I sent my order through Amazon today but I wonder now if I should have waited more or go somewhere else.

I am still waiting for the EX485. I am not in a hurry but I sure hope they will ship it soon. Amazon doesn't normally lag behind the market and I have had only good experiences with Amazon to date. I wish I knew what the holdup is.

September 25th it is. Amazon product page is showing it to be in stock now.Hopefully they will start shipping soon.Edit:Looks like anyone who pre-ordered from Amazon is screwed.In stock at Buy.com, J&R;, and Electronics Expo, but Amazon is quoting 1-2 months! WTF?

I preordered mine and on my Amazon order page it says that "this item will NOT arrive by December 24th" I had heard mid-December but based on the fact that it will not arrive by Christmas, I'm not real confident in a December release.
