Send those to stores in Maryland.
And Amazon by the way, they restocked 2ice in 24h to completely sell out.

I personally visited several Best Buys around MA for a Black Friday deal, and not one of them had any PS4 units, but each and every one of them had XB1 units, installed and demoed, particularly with Forza 5. I curiously asked one of the staff members whether or not they went exclusively with XB1, and he simply told me that they are completely out of PS4.

Check it out for yourself, anywhere between Boston- Worcester - Springfield - Hartford - Enfield - Bridgeport Region....

Prove it. I just think you really want a X1 and can't fathom the possibility of a national sell out.

What do you mean "prove it"? I am not a fanboy, who will take pictures of XB1s just in case I may need to prove to people on an internet forum. I have no incentive or interest in lying here, not that I am much of liar. I also have much better things to do now, especially right before the end of the school season, busy with students flocking around me constantly asking "will this be on the test, professor?", while I am supposed to prepare several 3-page long exams and grade a few hundred exams within the following 72 hours, along with several seminars, conferences, several quasi-necessary meetings and a semester farewell party, all of this, right before heading to the frigid cold North-East, yet again.

But still, the next time I am in a best-buy or another mall, I will grab my smarphone and take a picture of the XB1s, just for you. Seriously, they are easily available, but I am sure, given the increasing demand for next-gen consoles, many of those will be gone by the end of Christmas, even if it's partially because many disgruntled Playstation fans who will turn to XB1 after not being able to find one. As a matter of fact, I have just seen one, a fellow, who wanted to grab the PS4 at campus Co-op, only to find out that even the showcase one was sold, and he just didn't want to wait another few months and will probably end up buying and XB1 unless he can find a PS4 at Xmas.
