There are two 2008 MacBook Pros.
Apple.com has both.
MacMall.com has both.
Amazon.com might have both.
eBay has both.

Look on Apple's site (store) at the refurbished offerings. They change all the time, but some good deals are there. Consider mid-2007 models too - probably can be had for $1250 with full warranty, depending on availability.
I got mine in December (december 31st) from Macmall.
After spending a month trying to find out a problem (paranoid), I must say that I got a great machine.
Macbook pro 2.6ghz 7200rpm.
One bad is that it is taking very long to get the rebates, but that seems to be the trend with companies giving rebates.

Visit an retail apple store. www.apple.com/retail to find your closest one
Vist apple.com/store to buy one online or to look at refurbished models.
Macmall.com has some, but you will wait for a while for their rebates.
I got a HELL of a good deal on ebay on an early 2008 macbook pro 2.5ghz w/ 512mb video card. So I'd suggest looking there too, just make sure you get one that is new in the box and buy from a seller who has a lot of good feedback.

Again, I don't know what your price range is, but I managed to get my unibody Macbook Pro for $1654 (brand new in box) INCLUDING tax, shipping, insurance, etc on eBay.
Here's the deal... I am a music producer that has been using only pc for awhile now. But I am looking to buy a mac and be more inclined with the times. However, I heard that the 2008 Macs have firewire (unlike the new macbooks). Is that correct? I was going to buy a new macbook pro, but I think the previous generation will get the job done.
budget! $2000 for laptop
Where did you get the unibody Macbook Pro for $1654. I want the system to have 2.5ghz at least and 4gb and 250 HD. The firewire feature will be great also.

The unibody Macbook Pro still has Firewire, it's only the regular Macbook that doesn't. If you are still interested in a unibody I'd look in the refurbished store at apple.com since they have some good deals.
the shortly updated white macbook still has firewire and if you need firewire (400) for a lower price its a very good deal... imo
