15" MBP "Sold Out Online" at Best Buy?

[tafb]

Typically, in past weeks when the MBP has been out of stock at BB, the site will say "backordered" and give an ETA. This week, the site indicates that the 15" MBP is "sold out online." Any current or former BB employees around that can shed any light on the difference between being backordered and sold out?

I am fairly certain that the wait for the new MBP is driving me insane.

My local best buy has about 15 or so in stock which is an increase from last week. So they are probably still getting them. However, they have not had any 17" models in stock for the last 2 weeks (which they normally do)

Almost no stock here either, a couple of places told me they weren't ordering due to rumors of the new MBP.

It might not mean this Tuesday, but it may show that updated are imminent in the next 2-3 weeks. But who really knows.
