Sure enough, Walmart did not lie, although they werent exactly truthful on the phone as they said they had none and didnt expect to get any until Feb or March. Nonetheless, I heard a rumour that Walmart had these in stock and was going to be opening today at 7am here in Spokane. Thinking there would be a line, I went there at 615am and much to my surprise, there was no line, no hoopla, nothing. More surprising was the fact that they let you in the store early to purchace your unit. I was told that all stores (at least in Spokane) would be alloted 20-30 units (of which 10 were the basic type. Sure enough there they were, a whole cart full of them. As of 8am, the store looked like it had at least 10-15 left. Pays to live in a smaller city I guess!
