There's a B&M store in The Grove, Los Angeles. I just called and they are out of stock in that color. They do have black at $159.99 and will not match the online price. She also said there was others that called before me. :)

I think FAO's p133 server with 64MB EDO memory news the heave-ho. Seriously, WTF company like that has such a crappy server?

I agree with the price match - Just order from Amazon and then BVG. If it falls through, just send it back...

I notice also you get a free game at Amazon pretty hot deal!!!

Just remember to print your invoice and the page from Amazon describing the free game. The invoice will list the items separately and then you can include the page detailing the 49.99 coupon...

I wonder if American Express questions why my business buys video consoles;)

Thanks for the deal!!

I'm on the site now, it says out of stock, but it still lets you backorder it, not like Bestbuy once somethings out of stock it won't let you go on, I don't know what to do somebody help, should I back order?

This looks really hot. FAO is going bankrupt and I guess their trying to get rid of their inventory before the fiscal year is up. That coupled with the fact that Indigo cubes are probably the worst selling by color equals in this great deal.

I doubt that they will get any more in if they are clearing stock. Bummer.

I think we will have to wait and see. I went ahead and did the Circuit City Route as that shows no coupon on the receipt. The BVG rep stated it was ok to price match the same day. I have a number to send in and we will see!!!

Thanks again for the deal!!

I talked to "Tony" at FAO Schwartz Customer Service and that was an honest deal but they sold out quickly....however, I did call one of their stores in Orlando, FL and they had the same item for $80 +shipping. I ordered one and total price was in the $95.00 range and they shipped to my door. Here is the link to their stores with phone numbers. I know for sure Orlando, FL still has a few at $80.00 ea. Not a HOT deal, but atleast Luke Warm!
