Anybody know the release date? Anybody have any information about any other places that have a set date to start shipping?

I did pre-order mine, Oct. 15th, with an estimated delivery date range, provided by Amazon, of Oct. 31-Nov.2. However today is Oct. 31 and the item's status still shows as "Not Yet Shipped"... I've got a feeling they are not going to get it delivered by Nov. 2nd then... ... ...

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?

Ordered mine June 21, back then it said shipping in 2 to 4 months. As soon as it arrives I'll let everyone here know.

July 19th here, still no information beyond "We need more time". I even canceled a pre-order on another site to make use of some left over gift credit here. I'm starting to regret that decision.

I asked Microsoft Store when they'd be shipping and they indicated November 1st for preorders. This should give you a ballpark estimate.

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've been wondering the same thing, does anyone have an estimate when this will be released? I have it on pre-order but I'm already thinking about going for the other U50 model lol... I hope it gets released this week.. Please let us know! :(

For those who are considering an order: I ordered this model (with HDD) yesterday, and got an April 29 estimated ship date. James has good advice, I think.

No exact date, but I know they've shipped in New Zealand (and probably other places on that side of the Pacific)... I've heard a mid-march release in the US (around the 20th possibly?) with Best Buy probably getting them first

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.

Eric. I am still waiting for mine (ordered on April 27th). My shipping date has not been updating and still says "Shipping estimate: May 30, 2006 - June 13, 2006". I am looking at the ones sold on Ebay for around $450-$460 and I keep thinking if I should spend an extra $75 and get it over with. Of course once I buy one, Amazon will notify me that mine is available on the next day and I'll feel stupid that I couldn't wait... So the wait continues... Chris

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.

Yes I too have been searching the web for a release date. Ive seen several sites that said it was released in Nov. But I cant find it anywhere. EB Games says it will be released on 15 Jan 08, so I dont know what to belive. Im so confussed I just want in now.

Just adding a data point. I ordered mine on 13 March, and it shipped yesterday. Should arrive tomorrow.Now, I just have to wait for the clouds here in DC to clear up (maybe by Sunday).

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 selected standard free shipping, so the estimated shipping date is shown as October 26. Now I pre-ordered back in July, so they've known about my order for over three months. And yet their plan is to wait 4 days after the product is released (and probably about 7 days after they actually get the product) to ship it to me. Why the wait? Simple. To punish me for not paying extra for release date shipping. I don't have a problem with using the slowest/cheapest method of shipping, since that's all I was willing to pay for. But waiting to ship just because I didn't pay extra is just abusive.
