When do the MacBook Pros actually ship?

Apple made a whole lot of hullabaloo today by getting up on Mount We're Awesome and announcing the minor MacBook Pro processor upgrade, as well as the fact that the belated notebooks are supposedly "shipping this week."

Of course, when Apple mentions 'week,' it's obviously referring to the length of a week on Steve Jobs' home planet and not that of the Gregorian calendar — because as far as I can tell, most MacBook Pro ship dates have been delayed by more than two weeks. My order, which was originally supposed to ship on the 15th, was pushed to the 28th,
along with everyone else I talked to who pre-ordered one of the elusive buggers.

Is anyone (everyone?) out there having better luck with ship dates? Is yours still slated to ship this week? Or was the whole "We upgraded your processor! Don't you love us?" routine just a way to distract the world from the fact that the phrase
"MacBooks ship this week!" is nothing more than some misguided attempt at reverse psychology?

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to mutter under my breath some FCC-prohibited four-letter words. Care to join me?
