I needed the 512GB storage, and I figure I'd break 8GB draw sometime in college, and the 2.7GHz is just me emptying my pockets.
Believe me 512 GB is not enough. You throw money at the wrong thing. Buy a NAS!
Got a tip for us?

Just got shipment notification at 5am for my 2.3/16/256, ordered on 6/11 at 9:20pm EST. I'm in the 2-3 week group, original expected delivery June 29-July 6, now Apple says June 28, FedEx says June 27 by 10:30am. Left Shanghai at 2:54PM Shanghai time. Now to figure out what flight it's on!
Updating spreadsheet now.
I'd imagine we'regonna see a lot of changes today.
----------
+1. My next purchase will be a Synology DiskStation DS411 and a few 3TB drives

You were right. But NAS is the way to go to solve things. Cost less, gain more benefits such as load torrents, time machine, iTunes server, steam music movies to your computer and iDevice and you have your personal cloud to access your files when you on the go. I would say its not worth to upgrade SSD
Really depends, for torrents and downloading you could easily just put that stuff on a nas but if you work with large files etc (final cut movies or raw files for photo editing), or if you are travelling all the time I can see why you would want 512.
We likely will be, however it isn't at the airport yet, or hasn't taken flight yet. "
Left FedEx origin facility" just means FedEx has the packages from wherever Apple handed them over, hopefully they'll catch an early flight though. Looking up the schedule now.
Even over usb 3.0 it wont be as fast as the internal SSD. Different people have different needs.
Update: FDX28 goes out of Japan on Mondays it would seem, so it looks much more likely that we'll end up on FDX90, direct to Memphis. Scheduled for 11PM Shanghai time (11AM EST). It's a 13 hour flight but it gets it closer to me with less downtime in Alaska.
Anxiously watching tracking.
I ordered mine June 17th (15" rMBP 2.6/16GB/512) with 3-4 weeks for delivery. I got July 24th as the receive date. Hopefully it comes a bit before that!
Finally at the end of the stretch!!!
I'm on the same plane as the others, got email at 5 am est from apple with 28th as delivery. FedEx says early morning 27th.

Those estimations are a tad off. The 256GB can be had for 200-210, and the 512 is occasionally on sale for 580.
This is also assuming the drive built in are as fast as the 830.
It is as fast as the 830. Samsung makes the NAND chips in the rMBP, and the 830 controller is used.
Benchmarks also reflect this.
I saw someone in the 3-4 weeks bracket got his/her base 2.3 MBP shipped, when the other 2-3 weeks people haven't even gotten theirs into the 'preparing shipment' stage. any idea how this is happening? I'm in the 3-4 weeks bracket too
Oh my God!! Just woke up this morning to see on my order status......."Processing"....

Mine also left shanghai at 2:54 am. my expected delivery is Jul 3rd. maybe it's because i'm from Canada.
Looks like we are into the 11th's evening orders, mine was tuesday the 12th in the mid morning so still a few days to go....
I will be constantly mobile. A NAS will be one of my future purchases, however, that comes after the thunderbolt display, wireless mouse/keyboard, superdrive, enet adapter, and a case for my rMBP, not necessarily in that order. I've yet to fill a 320GB HDD, although i'm approaching the 20gb free zone. The onboard 512 will be useful for games and the like, cloud storage is cool, and to who said it above, for a graphic design/programming major, cloud storage is almost worthless for me unless I'm using it for backup/archival purposes.
