So is there a dalay or not?

---

ok quick question? Is there a delay or not? Will prime launch at 19th of December ot not?

It depends on who you ask. So... no one really knows.

The Verge (I think it was them) got a response from Asus that said shipments will be going out the week of the 19th.

well sir, if you read any of the forum posts,

NOBODY KNOWS

its ALL speculative

You must not have noticed the 30+ threads trying to glean every word spoken or written by anyone even closely associated with Asus or any one of their delivery partners, tech blogs, forums or the palm reader on the corner to ascertain the actual day, time and second the Prime will begin shipping.

If we knew for certain the day I am sure there would be several posts clamoring to be the first to announce it.

my "is this guy F&*$ing trolling us right now" meter went off at first... then i noticed it was forreal

now its "no, he's just an idiot"

Most of today's comments from online resellers are that they don't know when they're receiving their shipments and some saying delivery will most likely be after X-Mas. Check the Adorama, B&H, and Fry's threads for detail.

Best Buy's saying the 19th is on and people who pre-ordered there are trying to guess the hidden meaning of having their credit cards re-authorized (apparently they periodically re-authorize on pre-orders).

Amazon's canceled all 32GB and calls today indicate the 64GB won't ship before X-Mas.

GameStop has demo units and people have said some stores have inventory but aren't allowed to sell it yet.

Asus Canada's said shipments are delayed indefinitely while a Wi-Fi range problem is resolved.

And there you have it...

Let's look at it this way. No one besides asus know that question. So that eliminates almost everything posted on the internet by anyone besides asus.

Now let's assume that only asus can tell us the answer. Asus USA says it will be released on the 19th. Now you have two choices, believe that or don't. So you got 50/50 still. According to asus usa it's not delayed.

Bottom line seems to be this, in the interest of maybe forestalling other such threads (ha!): ASUS is shipping SOME stock to SOME retailers on or before the 19th. So, they'll live up to their public statements. However, they're shipping far fewer units to far fewer retailers than expected. So, only a select few with the right pre-orders at the right retailers (Best Buy and Gamestop, most likely) will actually get Primes before the end of the year.

Pretty much anyone who wants one should be able to get one by, say, February.

I think that's probably as solid a bit of speculating as anyone is able to conduct at this point.
