I saw this article over on hdbeat:

http://www.hdbeat.com/2006/09/11/best-buy-is-taking-pre-orders-for-the-series-3-pick-up-date-9-1/

So I printed out that screen shot and ran over to Best Buy. I gave them the sku number and they rang it up. I am officially the FIRST person in the Seattle area to purchase a Series 3. Woo Hoo!!! The Best Buy people were surprised they could even sell it. They say im guaranteed one will arrive by this Saturday the 16th. They didn't even have the warranty information to go with it so I'll check into that when i pick it up. It was $799 as predicted. Maybe a rebate will happen in the first 30 days and I can go back and get get some cash back.

I can't wait to take a sledge hammer to that piece of !@#$ motorola dvr from Comcast.

I've called Lynnwood, Bellevue, Northgate and Tukwila and nobody will pre-order for me. Which store did you get it from?

Congrats, I'll probably pick one up before christmas but I just can't swing it right now. I'm stuck the the fore mentioned "piece of crap Motorola". *Sigh

I went to the Best Buy in Bellevue. I showed them the screen shot print from the engadget site and asked him to input the sku number. He did it and was quite suprised that it showed up. He brought his manager over and said can we sell this? He said if its in the system he can.
