I would not place any confidence in what the Best Buy website shows as in stock or out of stock. The BB website currently lists the Nookcolor as a pre-order item yet if you check store availability it shows available for pickup today (Nov 7). It won't even be released until Nov 19! I noticed the BB website going nuts a few weeks ago. My guess is they are using new or updated inventory tracking software that is flaky, and/or they hired some new IT folks who are flaky.
