Thanks for the tip about http://wiialerts.com to find the Kinect.
I signed up last tuesday at the Wiialerts site for instock text messages.
Friday morning I received a text message about the kinect being available. I went online and 5 minutes later I was done buying from Amazon.
$149, no...
HDMI inputs weren't that big a deal until a couple years back, but now lots of cameras etc have HDMI outputs, so having HDMI is a bit of a bummer. I might regret not having HDMI.
