Yes, I did order one around the 1st of Jan and received it about 3 weeks later.

Who knows??? I saw the July 24th date last week and now as I look at various sites it says August. Just "August", no date with it. I preordered my in April, since it was suppose to be due on in May. Then June. Then July 24th. Now "August". I don't know why Amazon seems to be actually selling them now. Does this mean they actual have ones in stock? I would call Amazon (the contact information isn't hard to find) and ask them directly IF they actually have them *in stock*! To be honest, I would be shocked if they did, because no one else does! (And don't be fooled by eBay; there are sellers there ALWAYS selling stuff months before it is released! Of course, they never mention that in their listings!)

This model was released a few days ago and can be found for sale on excaliberpc.com and CDW.com I don't know why Amazon doesn't yet have it in stock. Being an Amazon Prime member I want to take advantage of 2-day shipping and not wait an undetermined 1-2 months before I get it. Gee you would think that Amazon is one of the largest (if not THE largest) retailers of this product so would have first crack at having them in stock. I'm baffled.

I have the same question. It seems out of stock since last week. Not really sure what's wrong with Amazon right now.

I ordered and got mine in three days. It likely has to do with what is in stock in the U.S. I did not see an up to eight weeks reference when I placed my order.

It's currently showing as out of stock. Was it out of stock when you ordered it? I would like to order one, but not if the out of stock condition will persist for weeks as it seems to be in your case. The description from Amazon doesn't give any indication of when or if it will be back in stock.

6th ave is all sold out, I ordered it from amazon for $499.00 but the whole 1-2 months thing is starting to piss me off. I will most likely upgrade to the next model up and purchase it from another seller besides amazon. Got the link from my son that said ships within 24-48 hours, but with the holidays and all I didn't order until four days later, Oh well I know it my fault but still rather irritating.

Strange, it has changed between my original post and now. Creative is saying they were never in stock and it was an error. Something shipped to me (or at least UPS thinks it did). Will see if it turns out nothing ever really shipped and it was just a pre-printed tracking number.

I don't get why it says in stock and it's been 5 days and has yet to ship. Something isn't right!

I totally agree. I don't understand why Amazon has been out of stock for more than 2 weeks for this item. By the way , thanks for telling me the Us Appliance discount thing. I will try in couple of days.

I'm trying to figure out the same thing. I bought one earlier this year and got it in a few days. Just got on here to order another since I like it so much, and am quite surprised that it says 2-5 months. Trying to figure out how to get ahold of customer service to ask if this is a typo.

You can find out when Amazon is supposed to ship yours (as everyone has a different shipping date, depending on when you ordered or "got in line") by going to your account page and viewing recent/open orders. When I ordered one several days ago it told me it didn't expect to ship until the end of November and I'd receive it mid-December at the latest.

The out of stock status is because the release date was set for March 15th, but as that date came and there was zero inventory in Amazon's system (because it wasn't actually released), their inventory tracking system just automatically updated the page as "Out of Stock." Until someone goes in and manually updates the status, there is no way for the system to know what is going on. I am sure that by Friday there will be an update (either a new release date or some sort of change).EDIT: GameStop is now showing a release date of 3/30/12. Shades of the Optimus keyboard, anyone?

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.

No, not true. It says 2-3 months when Amazon is out of stock. So long as there's inventory, it ships in 2-3 days.

If people are having to wait an extended period of time for this unit to arrive it might have something to do with the carrier and the distance it needs to travel to reach you. I know you posed this question back in February so I'm sure you received the unit by now so I'm answering this question in case someone else is currently in a similar situation. If you were expecting it on a certain date and it's exceeded the e.t.a. by at least 4 days I'd try to contact the seller to see if they can shed any light on the situation. I'm about to order another one of these units for myself and I'll try and note the time from when I order it until the time it arrives. Hopefully this will be of some help. EDITED 12/10 I ordered the unit on 11/26 and received it on 12/9 so it took roughly two weeks to arrive, however, I'm not too happy with it. I'm about to do a review now to explain my experience with this (updated?) unit.
