    Its nice asus finallyu made it there. Now they are in the midst of setting up 24/7 support and looks like they are making big moves to come. It also sucks that best buy charges sales tax to pretty much every state.

    BB's website said that it was in one store in my area, but when I went out there, I didn't see it. maybe it's just not on display yet?

    Yes, but the contest doesn't require you to purchase anything.

    And just so you guys know, the contest has since expired.
