any clues on when this will ship? I have a small window of opportunity to buy this and don't want to place the order and find it comes too late ... any idea where I can find out when Amazon will have this item in stock?

And now that I made a change by applying a gift certificate to my order, I lost my place in line, so my ship date has been bumped back to October 21-November 4. That's with an original purchase date of August 29. Still, for me, with the $75 GC, the wait is worth it. Otherwise, I agree with D. Trotter; if it absolutely, positively has to be there by a certain date.... good luck with that!

I have ordered mine from Amazon. I order it on 11/6/06. I keep on checking the tracking info. It still says "carrier notified to pick up the item". How long did yours take to reach you. I can't wait to have it!!!!

Do we have a clue when this will actually ship? It's between the 553 and 554 for my this Christmas, and with the way the 553 is selling, I worry that it might be out of stock if it becomes clear the 554 isn't going to make it.

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.

I've ordered mine on July 16th. It should arrive by tomorrow as per the item tracker (already nearby.) Bought it off Bodyguardz. Costs more for shipping but it beats waiting for Amazon to have it in stock.

Anyone order this within the original expedited Friday delivery window only to find they closed it hours earlier than stated? Only option was Monday delivery. Tried to get them to call me at 5pm on Wed, but nobody was home. I guess everyone called it a day early on Wed and Amazon support became short staffed.

Did you purchase it from Amazon or from one of their sellers? I know a lot of other stores or re-sellers (best buy, j&r;, etc..) have this in stock. What's the deal with Amazon?!?!?

I just bought this model from J&R; last week for $599 with free shipping. It said it was out of stock but I decided to go ahead and preorder so I could get one when they came in. The next day I got an email saying it had shipped and it is supposed to arrive tomorrow. This is the only place I could find that had for this price besides Amazon and I looked everywhere!

Looks like 4 other vendors have beat Amazon to the punch and have them in stock now. I spoke to a Amazon rep a couple days ago she said they don't know when they will be in stock.

Update from Amazon, I emailed them earlier this morning. Their answer is that it's currently on "backorder", so theres no telling when or if they're even getting it.

I would have to agree with E.Salmon on this one too. My delivery date says March 19th, but I doubt it will actually arrive then if yours was slated for next day delivery. More than likely it's another way for amazon and similar sites to keep customers interested in the product by hinting that they had it "in stock" at one time. I would just click the "Notify Me" button at the Razer site and await confirmation. Grrrr

I have been waiting for approximately three weeks now and estimate was between September and October (I placed the order in July!) I don't know if that was because it was out of stock at the time I placed the order. However, I just went in to my account and "Updated Shipping Speed," by confirming that I want the standard 5-8 day free shipping and then I got an e-mail saying the updated estimated time for ship is now the end of August. Hopefully this is true, but you might want to try doing the same and hopefully will get an earlier ship date too!

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 June 24th and it still hasn't been shipped as of July 8. My account shows it will be shipped between July 22-Aug 8. I also requested 2 day shipping as it was an option at checkout. I'm not sure why they display that option when in fact it is not really an option.

I was planning on grabbing one of these too but figured I'd wait till black friday in case of a deal and then suddenly they went on back order/1-2 mo delivery and the price shot up. I guess I should have got it before, now I'll just have to wait.Most places seem to suddenly also be out of stock of this, is this just really popular or is it being discontinued?
