Anyone know if this player finally shipped? I didn't want to wait until the end of August for a new player, but I kept looking and couldn't find one I liked as much as this one. Anyone know if the preordered ones shipped today on 8/22 as originally estimated? Any information is appreciated. Thanx! Anyone know if this player finally shipped?

I just tried purchasing and it said estimated shipping is October 23, 2006. Ugh!<edit>I just ordered it from creative.com. It's $179 not including tax. Total came to $189 with free shipping.

Thanks, Bishop, for your reply. I liked your last statement (very funny!). A couple of hours after i went out to get this model at Best Buy (i just couldn't wait!), a friend showed me the all-region equivalent (also from Pioneer) featured on this same Amazon site! Well, at least they claim it's all region, but seems some customers have had to get guarantees from the supplier that the unit will indeed play all types of discs. A bit confusing. ;)

waiting till spring, hoping this player comes down some and then i'm buying it...if BR dies between now and spring then i will be glad i waited...but i dont see it ending with the PS3 selling a couple of million BR players between now and then...just waiting for the early adopters to buy some at 1000, then i'll grab one at 6 or 7 hundred in a couple of months

I pre ordered the 8 GB in violet. Any idea when it will be available? The other colors are, but of course the color I like isn't! :P

Oh, nevermind everyone. I looked around and found this on the website: "Currently Unavailable: This item is currently not available for ordering, and we don't know when or if this item will be in stock again." Well, then. Crap shoot it is. I'll wait it out and cross my fingers or look for another TV.

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 expect mine to shipped today! I ordered on March 17th, and the webpage says they have 2 left in stock, which I assume already accountsfor all the preorders being filled. I need to pester them again and get a clearer idea. My shipping estimate says May 10th, which is unacceptable. I have 2 day shipping on this.

Yes, my expected delivery date was suppose to be feb. 19. When I asked the amazon rep why my order had not shipped yet as of feb. 18 I got concerned. Her excuse was that there were many who had preordered and that they did not have enough to fill the preorders. I said that doesn't make sense, I preordered mine back in nov of 2013, how could I not have one reserved already? The only solution they suggested was to cancel my order and order from one of the other seller on amazon and they would refund the difference in total price paid. Which isn't a good option because if there were any issues with the item, I would have to deal with sending it back overseas and that would be more of a hassle in time and money. I'd much rather deal with amazon directly. What I think actually happened is their shipment has not arrived yet from their supplier whoever that may be and that's why our orders are delayed. They sent me an email that if they don't have the item by mar 21, they would cancel my order. If that happens, I will tell them to honor their first offer to refund the differnce I pay if order from another vendor. Because at that point I really wouldn't have any other choice.

They have been released already. All of the stock/versions A1, A2, X1, X2 sold out rather quickly. Another shipment should be arriving the end of this month supposedly. I pre-ordered an A2 version from here. It only lacks a blu-ray drive which is not a big deal for me at least. You can check anywhere on the net. Every site is taking orders but they are pre-orders only. I've had great service from Amazon and figure they'll get one of the larger shipments.

Interestingly, earlier today the Amazon page said "You may pre-order it now and we will deliver it to you when it arrives." This was after is was available for a day or two. Now they have added "This item has not yet been released" to the pre-order message. It sounds like Amazon broke a release date.

This was posted a couple days ago: http://www.dealerscope.com/story/story.bsp?sid=83287&var;=story. The gist it that Samsung has stated that they are still on schedule of releasing this player in time for Christmas. Also, they have reduced the MSRP to 799 which means that at some point Amazon should lower its price to somewhere in the 600 range--(Just a guess about what Amazon will do). So this is good news indeed!

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.

Thank you for noticing! I thought I was the only one who questioned this. I would never have known if I hadn't tried to order one for my mom's birthday because she liked mine so much. I nearly dropped my teeth when it was listed at $119.00. I checked the next day and it was $249.00! In addition, there was a new seller. It appears as if the second seller bought out the first one. Other sites seemed to have their stock dried up as well. When I bought mine Amazon sold it and I used my prime membership to save on shipping. Seems like someone figured out a dirty little way to scam us. I wonder how many other low profile products are going the same way. I called customer service. I did not get a satisfactory response, so I e-mailed them just now. I hope they take notice.

I preordered as soon as it became available. After my order continued to have no Est. ship date I cancelled and ordered instead from BigBadToystore.com. 3 days later and I have tracking information and should have it before the end of the week. It was $124 including shipping. I recommend others waiting to cancel and order from them.

Two questions. Does anyone know how long it usually stays out of stock? Or does it just come back at random? Anyone know if there is a way i can be notified when it comes NEW back in stock? Any help would be great. Thanks.

Thanks a lot for the reply. Sounds like this player does everything I want. Now, if Amazon would get them in stock...

I've been in B&H;'s preorder list since 1/4/13 and still has no news. Heard the rumor that Sony is NOT going to sell this bundle in the United States. (They took out 5RL from their official website completely).
