The larger 5700 mAh Batteries are starting to arrive. I ordered 2 from B&H Photo in December of 14 and they arrived today. Their Web Site still states Preorder. Through experience with B&H it takes time to update the Website once Inventory is available. Those that are seeking the larger capacity Batteries may want to place a Preorder, you may receive the Batteries right away? If not you can always cancel. There is a previous Post that states that the prices in Europe have drastically increased. The B&H prices are still the same as the inital prices, no increase at all.

It seems like the prices in the US and US affiliated sites are the same. I checked most websites.
Also, the pre-order shipment time is irrelevant to you receiving yours in the mail. They might still have delays for new order, but old orders might have just been shipped out and delivered.

Very well could be? There was a Post earlier that stated the prices went up dramitically.
