What's the holdup??? Amazon has been taking per orders for like a month; J&R had them in stock and Western Digital has them in stock. What's the holdup???

I order this late April and receive the drive earlier this week. So Amazon is shipping them out but they may not have enough for immediate shipment. Works great with my TivoHD.

Amazon's page still says it's not available, but I just received mine yesterday (from Amazon). So far, so good. Plug it in, restart your TiVo, and 5-10 minutes later you got a gajillion hours of HD recording (okay, I think it's 240 hours, but still). One little bummer, you can't cart the drive from TiVo to TiVo (or computer) to transfer your shows. It says it records some of the show in the internal drive and some on the external, so no complete shows are on the external. No big deal I guess.

Yeah, I really should have posted an update. I ended-up cancelling my pre-order with Amazon when I saw J & R had them in stock again. I paid about $5 more but it was worth not having to wait in perpetuity!

crud - I had placed an order for 1 of the 2 Amazon stock that showed up this morning. I've cancelled it. Please post your findings when it arrives.

I wouldn't put too much into that response from Amazon. Right now they need to guarantee delivery on items for Christmas so if they aren't sure on a release date then they have to say it won't arrive by the 24th. The thing that worries me is that you can no longer pre-order it. That capability is gone as of today. The way they are handling this whole thing is weird.

Same thing happened to me. I email NECA and they told me they have plenty of stock to fulfill preorders. I talk with Amazon, they tell me is NECA. I talk to NECA, they tell me is Amazon. Someone is lying, and it angers me.

I purchased two of them (red and blue), and they shipped without ever having a restock estimate. One was actually prepared for shipment before the other, but then both shipped together. It looks as though there's a heavy demand, which means they'll probably come in and out of stock for a while. If Amazon doesn't have a date, then I don't think there's any hope of us knowing. I suggest ordering them anyway and checking the order status often.

hmm i wonder if Asus is actually building these and sending them out. it seems that Amazon isn't restocking these until there's an order bases on the difference of ship dates depending on when the order is placed.the CSR i talked to said most of the time the item will ship out earlier than it states on the website, crossing my fingers on it ship out before the end of this week..

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.

Hey, I called Amazon and spoke with the department that handles product stocking. They told me they will not be receiving it until April. Does this make sense? I'm seeing posts here claiming to be receiving March.

I ordered one on Nov.30..I got a similar story.I`m not really in any hurry.Yea,I`d like it sooner,but no big deal.Amazon has worked out well for other purchases.I`m just hoping it works out OK.It`s always tough when you have to wait. Update: I got the same story as Steve. Would have been nice,but I`ll pick out something else.

I ended up cancelling my pre-order on Amazon and ordering on Newegg (same price; free shipping) earlier today. Status of my order: shipped. Sorry, Amazon. You're still showing this item on pre-order, so I went where my money will actually buy a computer, not just the promise of one some day in the unspecified future. In the end, it might be that my order from Amazon would have arrived on the same day. However, I prefer the certainty of knowing my computer is already on the way from Newegg versus the uncertainty of "pre-order."

I put in an order within what I assume is minutes after this listing hit Amazon. While my order on the Web site has no time frame, it says March 19 when viewed on the iPhone Amazon app. Best guess or just weirdness? The fact that they merged this topic with topics from the 15" models implies there's some amount of forward movement at least. I assume though that Apple won't start shipping to third-parties until they've taken care of their direct customers. I doubt Amazon is hiding anything, I just don't think Apple has given them any real information.

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.

He's right. Some shops are shipping today in fact. Hopefully Amazon is getting some stock soon. I must have one of the earliest pre-orders in.

Best price this month was $1595 which lasted only 2 hours. Ever since, Amazon been out of stock. I wonder if they will ever be back in stock.

Even if Amazon did not have any in stock (which they did when they stopped selling it because of the Broadcom issue), they did offer it for sale through other vendors (such as NewEgg). Perhaps all the inventory was pulled by Asus in order to rectify the problem?

^ My estimated ship date has been at January 5th since I ordered. To be honest, the other stores that are already shipping - have only shipped out 32GB units (which Amazon has also done) - who knows what the true stock story is on the 64GB units...

CDW is still taking pre orders and but when I called they said not until Jan. B&H; stopped taking pre orders because they are not sure when the Grey one will be out. My first one also.
