I couldn't stand it any longer and I've cancelled my preorder at Newegg. I ordered on October 20th, and had not received any change in status in my order. I then just realized that it's now listed $10 cheaper than what my preorder was ($549 vs $559).

Anyway, I've still got a preorder in with Amazon also which is at $529 for which I used $200 in rebates and have the $50 mail in bringing the total to $279. It shows it will be delivered after Dec 25th, which will give me some time to reconsider the whole thing since I'm getting more and more concerned about the issues which everyone has been dealing with.
