So, when are they shipping? Ordered this thing 2 days ago, and haven't even received an estimated ship date. Contacted Amazon and they have no clue. Uhm?

According to Nvidia the initial release on the 3rd of May was with limited quantities mainly to their premier partners/manufactuerers/system builders. May 7th is the date Nvidia says it will be releasing to the broader market and likely in greater quantities. I would wager that we won't see a massive influx of cards but we will likely see other manufactuerers release their own (ASUS, Galaxy, PNY, Zotac). That alone will ease some of the availability issues.

No, Bal, for a brief moment Amazon themselves had it for preorder, and thats waht we are commenting on. It was literally only available for like a few hours. We are both waiting for a shipment update from amazon.

Ah well good luck...I doubt they actually had inventory either. Hence the "????" when you ask them when they are shipping. :\

Cancelled my Amazon order and got my 690 off EVGA.com today. Was literally in stock for 3 minutes. So happy :D

If you bought the items from "Amazon", then you got ripped off. You actually bought from third party sellers that are simply selling the product at a jacked up price but have no actual inventory of the card. Once the normal etailers have stock, they will buy the card from them and then turn around and ship to you. total scam.

Me either, I assume they should be shipping within the next few days, as I don't think they've received their first shipment yet. Tiger-direct sold out of the shipment they had in less than 10 seconds.

Hi K.C.,Thank you for purchasing and glad to see you were early in the queue. Amazon was out, we shipped them more, they ran out again (you got yours shipped from that batch). Today (11-9) we shipped Amazon a truckload; expect the UL80VT-A1 to be shipping from Amazon again by the end of this week.EDIT:I think Friday of this week is realistic for them to start shipping, but it could be early next week because this is a very busy time for them receiving inventory into their warehouses.

Newegg is already saying they're shipping this.. But, newegg might just be sitting on the order too. I guess today or tomorrow it'll ship. I hope. Of course, if it doesn't ship till Friday, it'll be Monday before I get it :(

I also pre-ordered this unit on May 6th at the $379 price. At first it would be delivered at the end of May, and then on June 5th. Now there are no estimates on when they will have them for delivery. I called the manufacturer and was told they are in stock and available at other outlets on the web. They also said they do not sell direct to Amazon. I am concerned that Amazon has sold a number of these units at a price that will cause them to lose money if they deliver. I hope this is not what is behind this mystery.

Ordered on the 10th. Expected to deliver on the 13th. Watching amazon for a status update. Would not be suprised if it got switched to backordered. Update: Amazon has updated the delivery date to the 16th today (This is on one-day shiping). Let the customer know the day it's expected to be delivered that it'll be delayed is quite dumb. Stay classy Amazon

dang it, my delivery date just got moved from the 29th to the 30th.... Still not shipped... Oh well, waited 21 days so far, what's another one. Anyone who received it able to post any pictures and reviews of it on amazon? Would like to see real pictures of it being used instead of just stock photos.

I ordered mine on January 15th and haven't heard a peep from Amazon. It used to be that they were good about being able to get new release items out in a competitive manner. It now appears that they have lost whatever edge they might have had. If I see one locally, I will buy it and will cancel my Amazon order.

@MJ, thanks--I had preordered a couple days ago, but now says not yet shipped. Wonder what's going on?

Still no word. The order status hasn't changed. Still "not shipped". Is anyone else having this problem?

Ordered it on saturday. Thought it was going to ship out today (monday). Called them, and they told me it was not in stock, and they were getting them in on Wednesday. I canceled the order. I will wait for Amazon to get them in.

I actually called them myself. I was keeping track of the shipment and it said it would take a lot longer than it really did. I ordered from Amazon on a Monday and tracking it, I found it reached EGL I believe on the Friday of the same week. I called them myself on Monday to ask them to deliver on Tuesday (my day off). I'm not sure if you can get them to install, my guy just brought the box in and opened it up to check if anything was broken. I powered up and connected myself.

I placed my order as soon as Amazon had it available as 'Pre-Order'. When the order was placed, my order status was "Not Yet Shipped". As of Thursday, the status has changed to "Shipping Soon"Don't know if that helps, just FYI :)Edit: my order just changed to "shipped" and will arrive Monday!

Apparently this item is out of stock. I ordered it, paid for it, was told it was being shipped, after 2 weeks and I still hadn't received it I called amazon. They said it was out of stock and didn't know when it would be back in. I would contact amazon first to see if they even have it in stock before ordering it or anything.

According to "Creative Labs"... THEY will be shipping the week of September 17th. Which would translate as now. That was their reply last week... surely they would have known if it was going to be later by then. But any day now would be the best answer. If you're in a tight time-frame... don't do it. The more of a hurry you need something the less likely it will make it!

I preordered this from Amazon when it became available, and got an e-mail yesterday saying that the expected delivery date was the 13th. Since I picked overnight shipping, I take that to mean that they expect to ship my order by Monday, but obviously can't confirm that this is going to happen.Edit: Like those below, got the order update the day after it should have shipped.

I ordered mine on September 2nd and it hasn't shipped yet either. It was estimated to ship this week but still nothing.
