EThomaz, I think you're confusing Day One Editions with Xbox One's available on Day One. Those are two different things.

Day One Editions were only available via pre-order and won't be available unless you've pre-ordered one. Microsoft is confirming that Day One editions will be available on the 22nd.

What Best Buy is acknowledging to some customers is that their pre-order, which is not a Day One edition, will not be available until a later date (Nov. 30 is their projected date).

You have Day One pre-orders and then you have regular stock pre-orders, all before the launch. Day One pre-orders and most regular pre-orders are guaranteed for launch, however not ALL regular stock pre-orders are.

Again... Best Buy is sending email saying some Day One Edition will be delayed to Dec 3rd.

Day One Editions preorders are not garantee for launch day anymore.

You're actually incorrect.  Best Buy is not saying some Day One editions will be delayed until December 3rd.  Best Buy indicated some would not be able to pick-up their console until November 30th. 

Target has been saying since the console was available for pre-order that the release date was December 3rd.  Their availability date for the console is still December 3rd according to Target.  What that meants to pre-order buyers, who knows.
