Most interestingly, it now appears that NEW orders for both models of the Apple TV are now showing an earliest delivery of Nov. 4 (this coming Wednesday, six days from now). This represents a slip over the initial delivery dates for overnight shipping. Could this mean that the Apple TV is sold out (at least from the initial stock for the online Apple store)? So, if you haven't yet ordered and still want one as soon as possible it should be better to wait until they are at Best Buy and the local Apple retail stores.
The Best Buy inventory system shows a street date as November 4th, so even if Best Buy stores get them today, we cannot sell it until the 4th.
