A EB Games employee (I know take it for what it's worth) Told me that it was a limited edition and they were not sure if they were going to make more. I blew the guy off and thought that was stupid, there is no way they would do that. Maybe it was a trial run to see peoples opinions on the HDMI and larger hard drive, or maybe they are waiting on the smaller chips before sending more out.

That limited edition bit is BS.  The target I work at has not stopped getting shipments; problem is where we normally get 20-30 Wiis per shipment (example), we only get 1 or 2 Elites everytime we get a shipment of them.  They're not discontinued, they're just scarce.

i found one...with allot of trouble when they first lanched in canada. But if you cant get one and dont care about the black (even tho it is awsome compared to the normal) then you can always just buy a core and then buy the 120gb hd. but if not then im sure there will be another shipment at some point

he is right kinda..limited edition is only for the black elites. when they all sold out they will make them white.i got a feeling the core is about to get the boot...

I got mine at circuit city a few weeks after launch...the only place I see them at all is target, they get a few in each week and they are gone pretty quick.

Yeah the return of the black elites are inevitable. Thats exactly the problem only 1-3 systems are shipped to stores per shipment. so just be patient and ask when the next shipment of elites will be coming in.

i lucked out on the elite..my old 360 broke so when i brought it to ebgames to trade in for a new one they had just got the elites in..so i got myself one...it was like a day or two after the release..i live in mass.and go around to lots of bestbuys and targets in the area to kill time....ive always seem to see them for sale..either microsoft sent a lot out in my area or people just dont seem to want them around here..but after judging from all the topics on this subject ..they seem to be selling out crazy:P
