Just guessing here, but while we're waiting on Richard, I'll point out that he may not have hard info right now because of the need to coordinate with printers and CD pressers. The shipping date will depend on how fast the physical components can be manufactured, and that'll vary depending on how fast the manufacturers can handle the order. They may be waiting on those outside agencies to respond with confirmation before they can pass any final information along to us.

(We've got a Graphic Design major at the school where I both teach and take classes. One thing I've learned through exposure to them and their printing needs is how important a factor the printer is in the whole equation. You have to be sure you can buffer their delays and scheduling needs as well as your own!)
