Yesterday evening, I was at Wal*Mart (in Lodi, California) and there it was, sitting on the shelf for $99.77. I asked the guy who works there to get me one from the display case. He scanned it, and the register said to scan the serial code (the one on the back of the unit that is visible through the "window" in the back of the box) and it wouldn't take it. He tryed to scan it three times, and even entered it in by hand, and it still wouldn't take it. He told me that he couldn't sell it to me. I was thinking "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" He then called someone over to electronics. When she got there a few minutes later, she put her key into the register and entered something into the keyboard. He tried to scan it again, and it finally took it. I thought " Oh, thank God." He told me that I was the first person to buy one. I tell you this so that if you're in the same predicament, be patient.
