I just called the New York store and they said they were expecting it before Thanksgiving but couldn't give any more details. They also are offering to put your name on a list to be called when its available and place a phone order immediately. The woman said that they already had over 200 names on the list and weren't even getting that many phones in. She then also suggested that if I was expecting to just walk in and buy one that I should put my name on the list...except she just said they wouldn't be getting enough to serve even the people already on the list. Sounds like a great launch.
