It looks like a nice big shelter for car camping. Lots of protection and durable too. Would also serve as a "kitchen" tarp with the included poles.
As for backpacking, my netted 11' hammock, tarp and 3 season quilts with a pillow, combined weigh less.

Thanks for tha packing info, sounds like it packs smaller than this one I found on Amazon:

How are the poles? What is the diameter? Are they sturdy and good quality?
Does anyone have an actual weight yet for just the tarp itself...without the poles, bags and line?

nope - but I ordered one over the weekend.
yesterday i got an email from them that it's now on sale for $26.99/$29.99 -- if anyone has ordered one in the past 30 days at the old $35.99/$39.99 price, call them and they will credit you the difference.
1066vik,
You got a scale?

postal scale - if it's not big enough I'll weigh myself with and without the tarp in my hands - should be close enough.
How did they get that sleeping bag, that chair, the tarp, and the poles into that tiny backpack in the picture?
Where did you see this price?
