Checked my local Best Buy a few days ago and saw one was in stock, bought online and picked up within the hour.
 
They're out there, but they seem to be the rare ones. It's possible Apple isn't making as many because it may not be as popular?? I am still waiting on mine.

I don't think it has anything to do with the stainless model being less popular. This is was the same thing last year with the Series 2 stainless, It was nearly impossible to find for the first three months. I think Apple tends to undermine or is conservative for stock numbers for products during launches. It has been this way other products throughout their productline for quite sometime.

I agree, I think it is a supply issue. When I did find my Series 2 SS last year, there was literally 5 that came in that day. All sold within 5 minutes of arriving.
