My account still shows an expected ship date of Sept 3 (today), but it hasn't shipped and my CC has not been charged (except $1 to verify it). The Sony website still states, "Available on or about 09/16/2010." The guy on the phone when I ordered yesterday said it would ship on Sept 19. So there you have it, three dates but who knows which is correct. Well I guess we know Sept 3 wasn't correct.
