According to the last information I heard which was as about November 15 the backorder time is approximately eight weeks. I am sorry if this ruins your weekend or your Christmas, but I thought anybody buying one or waiting for one should know the truth. I actually got mine back about 15 days early, for which I am very grateful. I will pray that you get yours sooner than eight weeks. Also be aware that the smaller the files are, the smaller the file will be when you change the speed etc. I hope by some miracle you get it early. Kurt
