They've also managed to move the display from the front of the store to the back wall. Ugh...

That is exactly what I thought would happen as far as not having them in stock to sell. Although as far as we know many locations might have them stockpiled already but with instructions not to start selling until a specific date.
When I purchased my 300 last year I found that my local Best Buy had them listed as in stock. I went to that Best Buy and was told they didn't have any. I went home and found another Best Buy store 20 miles away where they were in stock. I called the second store and finally got someone to look them up in the computer. She confirmed they were indeed in stock. Then she told me the first BB store also had them. I returned to the first BB only to be told again they didn't have any. On my way out and discouraged, I ran into a manager I knew from the camera department and told her the situation and asked for her help. She looked them up on the computer, said we do have them, and went into the storage room and got one which I bought. It was a week later before BB even displayed them and a couple of months before they were prominently displayed. I really get the feeling that Sony doesn't even care that much to advertise or sell them. You have to search for them even on the Sony website!
