My store in Buffalo, NY ran out the first day but have had them in stock since then. If you call up your store you should be able to get an idea of how many they have in stock. My store said they receive new stock every day.
Awesome, that's where I used to live...Atlanta now though.
And hard drive failure? Hmm...between screens having dead pixels, hard drive failures, uneven keyboards and dust under the screens...maybe I should wait another couple weeks. Is that even going to make a difference?
