I had planned to go to a midnight store opening and purchase a machine this evening, but both stores I could find were already sold out (though they wouldn't explain how they sold out of an item that can't sell yet, since they weren't taking pre-orders). I then spoke to CompUSA and was told that it is first come-first serve, but they were only selling it as a kit that included extra controllers, 2 games and their extended service plan (at $699). Bah, another reason to hate CompUSA.
