While I don't have a perfect answer for the question, with the way things look, GS/EB are not going to be taking pre-orders for the Elite 360. Things may change, but it doesn't look like it as of now.
I can confirm that GameCrazy will NOT be taking preorders, and that shipments will be small until the end of July. I doubt EB/GS will be taking orders as well.

The man is right. We (EB/GS) were told the same thing.
