Ordered from BB. It was at "getting ready for shipping" yesterday. Today, it is "delayed." The worst part is that the message says if they cannot ship by August 6, the order will be cancelled!

I went through BB because I had a birthday 10% off that worked (but will not work if it is cancelled and reordered outside of July). Fun fun.

Don't read too much in to that message, I had the same message on something they initially had stock at the time of my order, but quickly sold out, only to see it ship in two days. Not a guarantee of stock one way or the other.

Thanks....I still feel like there is hope. I ordered at 8:15 am on the day pre-orders opened, and I feel like most people do not order from BB.

If you complain they may honor your 10% coupon. They claim they are going to honor mine (not a bday coupon tho). But how dismaying to discover I am not the only one who ordered from BB assuming no one would order the R5 through them!
