Sony just sent me a replacement box yesterday(monday) and, mailed it to UPS. Today I called sony for the status of my ps3 exchange, and they said it's on backorder. What does that mean?

Means they don't have any refurbished/new units right now so you will have to wait... no other choice really

It could mean that the part that's needed for your console is on back order. If it's been a problem part they may be trying to find out why these parts are failing and fixing the problem in the factory that manufactures the component before it get's out of hand elsewhere.
