Just got off the phone with asknet and the rep informed me that I should have gotten an email today (didnt) that my order placed on the 24th is now on backorder with no expected arrival date. Ugh.
I have to say Im surprised that demand surpassed supply for orders less than a week after release. This isnt protools after all. 
Nice planning.
Obviously a bummer as I was looking forward to it but guess there is no other option but to wait. What a drag.
