Just as an FYI to the general public, I ordered mine today, and had to contact customer service since I got charged for the "free 2-day shipping" promotion -- turns out it is because I live in Alaska -- and after contacting them I was given an estimated ship date of October 4th, 2010.

So if that date is real and they aren't just playing it safe, it seems all orders from this point on are going to be shipping well into Oct. Not that I'm complaining, but it just goes to show how fast these things must be getting pre-ordered.
