On Saturday, Cary had mailed theirs back and took down the display if everything was as it seems. So that it for what it's worth, now they could've lied and all, but it kind of aligned with everything that Best Buy was saying at the time.

all these slickdeal nerds are so mad that only 1 of their order is going to ship when they ordered 10+ each.

I was just in Best Buy in Cary and they were handing them to the gang of people that was waiting at the door for the store to open. I dunno if they have any left over though.

They probably are tired of people calling about them, or they could be sold out. But that's been over an hour ago. I went up there to pick up Deus Ex and the guy was right behind the service counter handing them out.

Just called Best Buy and they confirmed that they had some in this morning but are now sold out. They said another truck will be arriving this afternoon with more on it.

comment on the best buy spreadsheet
Quote :
"It is a spreadsheet made by a poster that said he was a Best Buy employee last night. he said that he knew BB stores would be getting more this week and that if people told him their store #s, he would look in their system and tell them if their store is getting more this week.

The spreadsheet is a result of his researching the stores people asked him about only, not every store in the US"

I called the Cary store. They were NOT pleased that I called to inquire about shipments coming in today. Out right ill to be honest, I know they are getting hammered... a little more open communication may help... not the "we aren't selling them" on the voicemail.

Called HP

their auto message says if you ordered before 4 AM CST on Monday, you will get your order and free shipping. They mentioned that all orders after this deadline would be cancelled.

Im going to wait on hold to determine if they will deduct the shipping cost at time of shipping or what.

"Quote from jrntr :
Just got back from a Best Buy that someone earlier said had them....store 147 in cary, nc. After being told they didn't have them, i sat in the parking lot for a few mins and watched 3 employees sneak out to the parking lot with whole cases of them and put them in friends car. Went back in and said i wanted a touchpad and that i know they had them. Tried to say they didnt have any again. I said i saw employees sneaking them out....."oh, well we did get some in today....let me see if we have any left." Of course he came back and said they didnt....how convenient. Said they sold em all earlier. As i was leaving, i saw another employee with another whole case of them.

Probably gonna be alot of this going on at stores that do get them."

That is terrible that they would let their employees do that, that some sort of conflict of interest or integrity I would imagine.

I would've snapped pictures and sent to corporate of Best Buy saying, you don't give me touchpad, I'm saying your company is engaging in insider trading/selling of products to its own employees and not the public like it's supposed to be. Won't get anywhere, but would be fun.
