I pre-ordered the LG BD300 but received notice from CC it's not coming:
This email is to notify you of a delay in your order. The manufacturer has not released this product to Circuit City by the date that was specified, so we are unable to fulfill your order at this time.
Original Release Date: 10/10/2008
We will keep your pre-order open for the next 30 days and ship your item when we receive it. You will not be charged for this item until it ships.

Just an FYI. I just got off the phone with LG, and the rep told me that the BD-300 has already been released state-side. I told him that it, in fact, had *not* been released, and cited the three major retailers--Amazon, Best Buy, and Circuit City--who have yet to receive shipments, and who still have no knowledge of a release date. I also informed LG that Netflix customer service says that they also have no release date scheduled. The rep put me on hold for a bit, and came back to tell me that he had checked "with another department," and they told him that they've no idea why shipments had not gone out. So, LG is insisting that the BD-300 has hit the street.
Something's fishy here--and it smells pretty bad. At any rate, I bought a new Sony Blu-Ray this past weekend, and will stream my Netflix through X-Box come November. Sorry, LG, but you guys lost a sale.
