In a store, you have to call constantly, or go and see for yourself. Gamestop, Wal-Mart, and Target's websites being sold out of online stock in no way means they aren't in stock in a random store in Fargo. Again, Joe electronics at the local Wal-Mart will not be packaging and mailing out your online purchase. The console on the shelf will stay on the shelf until it's bought.
Now, just b/c a Wal-Mart in my area had 6 consoles survive Thanksgiving night, Black Friday and the following 2.5-3 days doesn't mean the consoles are still there, but it does mean that the demand may not be all its made out to be.
