    I'm about to say "fuck it" and just get Bluestreak and Soundblaster on ebay. I don't really give a shit about paying a few extra bucks as long as I avoid this walmart bullshit and I've given up on them coming to retail

    They probably sold the stock threshold. Once they get more stock at a certain number it will drop back down to $35. That's IF they get more stock.

    Good news for you: I said screw it and ordered it on eBay two days ago. That means Walmart will almost certainly have thousands available for purchase within 48 hours.

    I'm holding off until at least the middle of November. They haven't canceled my order yet, and until they do, I refuse to pay an impatience tax.

    I'd say it's more of an uncertainty tax. If I knew walmart would have it, I could wait. Problem is you have no idea if they will restock.

    I wish I could say that. :( 

    But after Target & their Rainmaker fiasco I'm not doing this anymore.

    Does anybody know why all these idiotic jackass stores are only putting a couple up for sale at a time and at all different weird hours? It doesn't seem to make any sense.

    I have a Target with ten Rainmaker packs. They are all still there. I think distribution is just as funky as it ever was.
