If you can't get one the conventional way and want one badly enough, bite the bullet and pay the eBay price.
 
Call your local Microsoft store. I just picked one up today and they got in quite a few units this morning.
 
Every time i call my store,they say they never have them in stock,and when they do get them in,they are filling people on the waiting list.I even tried to get on the list,but was told no more names are being added to it.
 
Willowbrook Mall in New Jersey got a dozen of 'em in yesterday, and that's a kiosk. Looks like all the Microsoft Stores have gotten another shipment.
