Umm it's not being discontinued. Ever.
The core is great for MS, that's why so many people hate it.
This rumor is extremely flaky and probably not true to start (how the hell do we know ANY of this is legit? From the printout, to what "pref code Y" means?). In fact, it kind of doesn't make sense. Why would the sku both be "deleted" and also say replenishment not expected? If it's being deleted, how could it be replenished?
Second, even if it IS true, most likely Best Buy is just getting a new core sku soon because of the price cuts.
Third, even if they are totally not carrying any core systems anymore, so what, that's just one retailer. Wal Mart, Target, Amazon, will carry it, and Best Buy could bring it back later when it gets more popular (or risk losing sales).
BTW,Core is confirmed to be getting a price cut to 279.99. Elite will be 449.99. Only premium got a 50 cut for now.
In October, more cuts are coming with Falcon. Core will be 249, Premium 299, and Elite 399. The current cuts are just to clear out 90nm premiums.
