Disappointing news for those of you that haven’t pre-ordered a third-generation Apple TV already: the shipping estimate just fell to 1-2 weeks instead of guaranteed delivery to your doorstep on Friday, March 16th.

The new Apple TV set-top box streams 1080p HD video and features a revamped user interface. Tim Cook wasn’t kidding when he said we should all pre-order the thing as soon as possible during today’s keynote.

If you try to purchase a third-gen Apple TV for $99 from Apple’s website, you’ll see that your shipping estimate has been extended. Unfortunately, this means that Apple has probably run out of its pre-order stock. It looks like Apple’s favorite “hobby” is quite the hot purchase these days.

Let us know if you see any different shipping estimates in your country.
