Went out to exchange a couple of games purchased last month at TRU when they did the buy 2 get 1 free annual special.  TRU in Orland Park,IL has no Kinect sensors or 360s with bundles.  Target in Orland Park has 3 sensors and 1 4GB bundle.  Best Buy has 6 4GB bundles and Costco has nothing besides 4GB non Kinect 360s.

this week

Finished Black Friday shopping in Northern California.  Kinect was sold out at target, but was well stocked at bestbuy (they had probably close to fifty units).  I spent most of my time in the electronics area looking for gadgets for family members and during that time Kinect and Wii seemed to be the two hot items.  This seems to be confirmed by online retailers selling out of both Kinect and Wii related stock. 

Visiting family in Little Rock, Arkansas. Went shopping today and stopped at Best Buy, Walmart, Sams Club, Target and ToysRus.  360 sold out nearly everywhere. Sams Club and Target had a couple and Best Buy had 6 of the special 4GB they had with the 3 lego games.  Target had a couple of sensors otherwise you couldnt find them. Target had them in the back and when the manager I asked found out about this he had them moved on the floor in the cage.  He wasnt to happy since they were telling everyone they were out of stock.  You could find Wii (all flavors) and PS3 (all flavors) at all of the stores.

I think the hardest thing to look for is the Kinect 250 GB bundle. It's going for $500 on Amazon.

MS was right, it beat out Ipad.
