I have but the BestBuy near me in Brooklyn will not release theirs until Sunday. Was seeing how many people got them.
I think someone was saying there was a glitch in BB's system but many have had success buying at BB's.
Some BBs operate differently, on a similar note, when I wanted to get a SP3, some BestBuys were selling them already others refused to sell them for a while. I don't know why, but they did.
The level of knowledge among BB employees varies widely.
I got mine at BB in Manhattan (midtown) on Thursday, but even though I emailed the manager to confirm they had them, the first employee I asked said that they weren't available until April. I had to find the Apple guy who knew they had them in the back. But if he hadn't been there, I would've walked out empty handed. I wonder how many sales they lose due to their own communication failures.

Check in store. Mall of GA bestbuy had none listed online, but when I went in store they had them.
To Britt: they only have the stock models no custom upgrades
