Exactly my thoughts.
It's simple enough, to track stock levels.
It seems more likely, they draw a nicer picture before one places his order.
I find it annoying and stupid, though.
I was prepared for a waiting period of 5 weeks, as advertised by Nvidia.
By showing a lead-time of 4 weeks earlier, they raised false hopes. And then, of course, I was disappointed. Totally unnecessary...
But I guess, as merchants they simply don't care. As a manufacturer, you might worry about your reputation. But merchants, being randomly replaceable, it's probably not that relevant...
Anway, less than 3 weeks to go. About the same time my Surface Pro 3 should arrive...
