On order with Best Buy; 3 to 5 days. One for +Keith Cramer and +Dustin Cochran too. 😉
EDIT: CURSES BEST BUY!!! After sitting on hold forever waiting for confirmation, she says it's a "hot item" (duh) and we can't get it.
EDIT TWO: Google Play order completed (thanks +Keith Cramer). 3-4 weeks out on shipping according to Google.

Beat ya to it. I ordered mine yesterday.
You are despicable!!!!
(so jealous right now!!! Hope you enjoy it, it really looks awesome!!!!)
I've seen some people picking them up at Local Best Buys. I'm 1/2 tempted to swing by mine to see if they have any.
Up to now, I have been sing my Wii to watch NetFlix on the TV, but NetFlix is limited to streaming SD content. The ChromeCast will net me HD, instead.
I'll have to check in-store. Ordering on the phone just totally bombed! I guess I should not have posted until I had confirmation. But… we were on hold… and I was excited… Jinxed.
I just went to BB and they had them. Find a remote one in your area and pick that.
+Bearman Cartoons Called the ones in our area and no go. +Keith Cramer just ordered ones for all of us from Google Play. Just have to wait… Blah. Hate waiting! I want an Oompa Loompa NOW! 😉
+Scott Cramer seems that Netflix offer has expired…
I bought mine in a store. It's pretty awesome.
Will post a review when I get to play with it. 🙂
I have a review ready at techderp.net
+Scott Rosenberg why do you have to be all like, "I got mine, You no got one, I got mine, you no got one."
Like, totally not cool and stuff.
Same goes for you +Bearman Cartoons — even though you can't use it with your apple stuff.
+Keith Cramer It's not really a big deal TBH
This isn't like I got an iphone 19
Nice try. Still jealous.
+Keith Cramer Don't hold me responsible for your impatience.
I needed someone to blame!
Best buy near my house only rec'd 8 of them.
+Keith Cramer Blame bestbuy for understocking
Or, you could blame yourself for impatience.
FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT

+Scott Rosenberg I've already blamed both!
+Mellie B you're a terrible mediator.
Who said anything about mediation?
I wanna be amused!
NOW KISS !
Why do I suddenly feel like a trained dancing monkey.
We all are
My order with GooglePlay has shipped. I have been looking at various way to play NetFlix on the TV that didn't require lots of money, something that would get me HD. My Wii can only display SD content.
I received my Netflix code and successfully redeemed it on my existing account. $23.97 was credited to my NetFlix account (3 months). I paid a total of $41.43 with shipping and sales tax for the ChromeCast. Thus, I only paid $17.46 total for the ChromeCast. In all, that is a fair price for an experiment!
