    My 3/21 order status for 512gb model just changed from 5/9/2014 to 5/6/2014 (the release date in red on the order status page).

    That's extremely odd. We are used to be for pushed away, not becoming sooner...


    Edit: same here, mine changed to 5/6 too

    Mine has changed as well. I hope Razer is really shipping on this day. Ordered 512GB on 3/12.

    Same here: This order will be shipped after the release date of 5/6/2014 for The New Razer Blade - 512GB. To be honest I expected the opposite.

    I ordered on 4/25 (512GB) and mine now says after 5/6 as well. It originally said by 5/23, so I suppose that is still after 5/6. :)

    I'm still not expecting it until late in the month, so it'll be a nice surprise if it ships earlier.

    But still, it doesn't mean it will be shipped by that date. Yours might still be shipped on 23rd.

    I ordered mine on 4/21 and it still says that it's shipping 5/23. I have the 256gb as well. Hopefully I get it a bit sooner than that!

    It looks as though we might actually get our 512's shipped soon, but I wont allow myself to get my hopes up since the ship date has already been pushed back 3 times so far.

    The only difference between "after 5/6" and "by 5/23" is the faint possibility of getting it sooner. I'm not holding my breath.

    I suspect that 5/6 is the date they start sending the 512's. Like 4/13 was the other two models. The very early adopters will get theirs while the rest will be put on backorder.

    Man, I'm worried. I ordered the Kraken 7.1 with my laptop and it seems like the headphones are backordered >.<

    I sent an email complaining and telling them "do not delay my shipment for any reason". Hopefully they listen if the laptop does ship out on 5/6, I would be extremely pissed off otherwise.

    Razer CS says my 128 GB ordered on 4/23 is still scheduled to ship out on 5/23. Disappoint.

    Same here. I also bought something along with it which is currently backordered. I am going to give them a ring later to make sure I do receive it along with the Blade tomorrow.

    I am very very damn excited about the date moving a tad earlier.......

    To be honest, moving earlier means very very safe as it means that they have the laptops in already...

    also if anyone noticed...

    I ordered one earlier today, precisely because they moved the date back/up/whichever direction means they moved it to something earlier. I'm guessing that date, in addition to my being charged instantly means that they WILL in fact be shipping very soon. Which I hope is the case. I'm graduating in a week and leaving the US mostly permanently right after. Thus I need a ((very) nice) laptop.

    Not trying to rain on your parade, but if you ordered today, it'll most likely be backordered and you won't see the laptop shipped in a weeks time.

    You should be looking at other options - just in case.

    Which is also why I emailed them about it. If they reply in the negative, well then, I'll have to cancel. But I'm hoping the charge means positive things.

    In addition, it didn't mention anything about being back-ordered, while the Blade Pro was. Which, could also just be because they're released already, and apparently the Blades are not.
    I'll see.

    Just got off the phone with Razer's CS. 05/06/14 - is the actual release date of 512gb version.
    From that date it may take anywhere from 3-4 weeks for a "pre-ordered" to be fulfilled.
    Screw it. I'm not calling/emailing them anymore. Will get it when I get it.
    Ain't right jacking myself up all the time with these "oh hell !!!! I'ma get my Razer next week !!!!" and then be in a state of " mEeeehhh ... delayeddd agaaaain !?!?! " )))

    Yup, my sentiment exactly. Although truthfully I am somewhat excited about the 5/6/2014 shipment since I ordered 3/12 @ 12:48 EST - 1 hour into the announcement.

    I won't be surprised if I don't get it though. Lowered expectations FTW.
