I live in the Chicago area. For the entire month of January I couldn't find an Xbox 360 anywhere except for arcade models and a couple of Halo models. I finally found a Best Buy that had 3 Pros in stock. A half hour later I showed up to buy one, and there were only 2 left.

So yes, the shortages really did effect my area. I called a couple of Best Buys a couple of weeks ago for fun, and asked if they had 360s, and neither of them did. Not Pros, Arcades, or Elites.
