    [BAND] Anyone know when they will be in stock?

    You can go to your local MS Store and they can "ring up" a back order sku. (It's free)That puts you on a list and when they get more in they set yours aside and give you a call to pick it up within 48 hours. It's much better than just popping in and asking everyday.
