PRS-900 The PRS900 Preorder Support Group - Page 2

Geometry is not my strong suit, but 1 inch on the diagonal will be less than that on the length.

I received the email from Best Buy on New Year's day saying my order was still backordered, but I have not received an email saying it will be moved out sixty days. I hope I didn't jinx myself. The Daily Edition Web page at Best Buy still has an estimate delivery of January 18 to February 2, so I am surprised that a 60 day delay is showing up in email notices.

Mom, they might have a firm number of units in their first allocation shipment which you missed because they had already sold the planned allocation. If people get bored and cancel their orders you might move up the list.

If enough cool readers show up at CES this week, I suspect lots of buyers will hold off on getting the 900.

I'm banking on people canceling after seeing what CES will unveil this week. As it will then bump me up in the shipping que! Oh wait, maybe I may find something I want? Oh snap... the pressure. :P

The only good part about the delay was a pricematch, so I did get the $40 off at least.

It is nice to know that they are in fact shipping them from Best Buy, my fear was that they hadn't even received any from Sony yet and wouldn't until Sony took care of all of their orders. I guess all of us late comers have to just stick it out for another couple of weeks and see what happens. At least I didn't get a 60 day back order email

I didn't get a 60 day back order email, either.

Well, HoneyBunch got an e-mail saying that it should be delivered to her house tomorrow.

advocate2 · 01-06-2010, 09:10 PM

Starka,

Exactly when did HoneyBunch put in her order? That is the question.

She ordered it the first week of December.

Actually, over the weekend I told her what I had read here about the Best Buy sale, so she called and told them that she wanted to cancel the order because she could get it cheaper elsewhere. They rebated the $40 on the spot, no questions asked.

advocate2 · 01-06-2010, 11:25 PM

Thanks for the update Starka. Given that I ordered on December 27 I am way behing you. BTW, welcome to the forum. It is a great place to learn.

kcnightfang · 01-07-2010, 01:34 AM

I ordered mine through Sony on the 22nd and it just arrived today, so they might be quicker than you think.

Thanks Advocate!

Actually, there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason connected with when the units are shipped.

Were they in back-order when you placed your order? I know there was a window when they were available just before Christmas. What was your delivery estimate? Most people who ordered from Sony at the end of December are getting an estimate delivery after the 15th.

Starka · 01-07-2010, 05:12 PM

Well, it's here.

kcnightfang · 01-08-2010, 01:46 AM

I think they were, because my delivery estimate was the 15th as well.

advocate2 · 01-08-2010, 09:30 PM

How sad. An entire day with no updates of any kind. I wonder if Nate got any shipping tidbits at CES. I did notice that Sony made a big deal about the Daily Edition at its press conference.
