SuperDrive shortage

[eladnova]

Anyone else noticing a severe shortage of them in their local Apple Stores?
I guess it's just the post Christmas demand driven by imac and mac book Air sales.

Tried a local a Premium Apple Reseller last week who had sold out. The said their other branch "has seven in stock". Went there the following day and they had sold out too. Yet even though they had sold out, they were not due to get anymore in for 2 weeks??

I just got one and it shipped in 2 days.

Sounds like poor inventory management and ordering by the retailer.

Just order one online, sounds like your local stores just weren't doing a good job with making sure they have enough.

Thanks guys - will source one elsewhere. As you mentioned, Apple themselves have them in stock.
