This email was sent to all backers this morning: http://pastebin.com/R9RQS3ak

"Backers, I am pissed. Some of you have not yet received your OUYA -- and, to you, I apologize." -- Julie (who usually writes OUYA backer emails)

"Unfortunately, the vast majority of those who haven’t yet received OUYA are international backers. It just takes a lot longer to ship to some countries.... Please accept my personal apology for not yet delivering on our promise." -- Ken, Head of Operations at OUYA

The above message on Kickstarter's website: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ouya/ouya-a-new-kind-of-...

I received the "Your OUYA is on the move" email (with a tracking number) 20 days ago, but here's the thing: my shipping address is in Singapore. Things arrive from Hong Kong via regular airmail within days, not weeks.

That update is "for backers only" so if you did not back the project, you can't read it.

They told me they shipped my OUYA (to Minnesota) over a month ago. It still hasn't arrived and I'm starting to suspect it never will.
