Rip...
Call the local Best Buy or Circuit City before going there
The website indicated they had some at my local Best Buy. Quantity one equaled the on on display. No thanks.
According to the BestBuy employee I talked to, the sticks are selling fast and they are drop shipping them from stores with inventory to satisfy online orders.
They offered me 10% off the display model, but as he was offering me this, I watched all sorts of *colorful poor white trash* slam the stick around, drop it on the floor, etc etc. Nah, I'll hold out for a factory-new/sealed unit
The Cougars sound great....don't know if I really want to spend that much. But, TM has a good name for being rugged.
