    Yeah, I just did that and there is an order number and status says order submitted. I took the two day shipping option, I think it said it could ship by 2/21, wish it was sooner

    you did say they included with your order overnight shipping right?? I was hurrying up through the order and can not remember if I did pick that and I can not look it up at the moment it just says order submitted.

    Was sitting by my computer frantically hitting F5 every minute. Some friends came to my door, left my PC for 20 mins max, come back. All sold out :/ I wonder just how many they make per batch exactly.

    John, great review! It definitely made me feel more excited about my purchase last night! I finally got the confirmation email this morning, and my order status is "in process" I sent customer support an email to see when an estimated ship date would be available.

    I wonder if they are going to include the Orochi Blade edition with the second wave?

    Because I see it on sale now.

    Excellent review John! :D

    I enjoyed reading it, I just wonder what Bus is the GT555m in the Blade using as you said it uses DDR5 with a smaller bus than the DDR3 equivalent. Also, how was the switchblade UI in LoL are you able to remap spells and items to it? Or is that something that you think may come in a future update?

    I also thought the Alienware and Macbook AIR had a baby thing seems to be about right. :p lol

    So I was told they will ship out Tuesday by a razer rep... Boo... They said my charge on my card was a pre-authorization not a purchase but my bank says otherwise... Kinda fishy if you ask me... The rep also told me it was shipping out on Tuesday because it was really a pre-order and not a actually stocked item.. Another weird thing... What do y'all guys think??

    I do remember seeing something during the order process that 2/21 was an estimated shipped date. My order still says "in process" I hope that our orders actually went through and they didn't oversell this batch.

    Thats not the case, per their policy....
    1) Place your order before 11am (CDT) and enjoy same business day shipping on available products.
    2)For purchases of physical products, you won't be billed until your product is shipped. This includes any preordered or backordered products. If your items are shipped separately you will be billed each time a product is shipped.
    All taken directly from their site, in this case both things happened to me.
    They are saying that it is shipping out on tuesday for sure, my complaint is if these 2 things happened why is it not shipped and they can not provide an answer..
    I understand what the estimated ship date was but like I said these 2 things were met then they need to change their policy or revise it and not give sad excuses, and the key word is estimated could be sooner or later.

    The website just changed to "In Stock" and the "Add to Cart" button is back. If its "In Stock" how come the shipping date is still listed as 2 weeks from now?

    Just got an email response to my order inquiry this morning as to when it will ship. They said the product is on backorder with no update on when it would ship. Guess I'll be spending Friday on the phone with Razer...not the happiest camper but hopefully can get it resolved soon.

    Well I am sure you got as far as I did with Razer, but guess what I get.... A t-shirt, woohoo. I was never told to as why its delayed other than it will ship out tuesday, no reasons and no answers to why my CC was charged and they do not abide their policies?? Kinda left a bad taste in my mouth with them, I dont want to feed the haters but damn Razer!!!

    I sent them many emails requesting details, availability, etc and NEVER got a single response back. Even if I wanted to buy one I wouldn't because how can you deal with a company who won't even respond?

    They added that because of my gripe, still does not negate the fact that it is implemented now, not when I purchased the Blade.

    OK, now I'm confused. After getting a response to my Twitter mesage to Razer that the backorder email was sent to multiple people in error, I got this email from customer support this morning...my confidence in Razer is definitely taking a hit after this experience

    Thank you for contacting the Razer Store.

    We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

    We understand that you ordered this prior to the release date of the
    item.

    However, we are currently working to obtain more stock as soon as
    possible.

    If you would like to submit an order for the item now, as soon as
    additional stock is received, your order will be promptly shipped and
    you will be notified via email. Rest assured that we will not charge
    your credit card until the product ships.

    We appreciate your patience.
