I can understand some reasoning for what Best Buy does. When I worked at Toys R Us, we ran into similar issues when the Wii was hot. If the Wii was going to be in an ad, we had to make sure that we had some on hand. Usually they would try and time the shipments, to where they'd get through the system, and on the shelves at the store right when the sale started, but not always. Granted, we had advanced notice of when they would be putting it in the ads, and if it wasn't going to be, we could sell all we had.
