So, I know a 10 year old who has his heart set on one. Where to buy it? Anybody have an inside tip?

Ummm.. pretty much wherever, they're not as a limited supply as the PS3.

I'm guessing you haven't looked for one. While they may be more plentiful than the ps3, they're still sold out everywhere and selling on Ebay for $500+. Word is, more shipments will come in, but does anybody know the best place to look, who will get the most units, etc?

Toys R Us I believe gets the most shipments followed by GameStop & Best Buy?

There was a Gamestop locally that you could just walk into Sunday and buy one, they had like 150 and all of them didn't get preordered. I had one preordered so it didn't matter but that shows that they are available in some places. I think I saw something in the classifieds here for one for $375 if you really want one quick.

I have two for sale NIB with slips, $350 Each. Only thing is you all are in Cali so I have to ship them. Shipping cost should not be that bad though. I would ship through US postal 1-5 days, with tracking. Off the top of my head should not cost nor more than than 25 bucks. If cost less than that I will refund money with slip showing how much shipping was. Kinda good this way, you can go about your bizz and not waste time going here and there to search for one. Pm me if want. PLEASE SERIOUS BUYERS ONLY!
