I've bought hundreds of items from amazon over the years and have never seen something "preparing to ship" for more than 24 hours. But I'm approaching five days on this...
I'm the same. I do wonder if they're not holding their shipment out of concerns over the hardware issues that have been noted. Retailers (particularly walmart, but i'm sure amazon too) have been to known to do that with products they're afraid have a high return rate. That being said, it's pure speculation just like everything else. I highly doubt it's malicious though, amazon works very hard to maintain customer loyalty. They've bent over backwards for me in the past.
