Walmart.com sold out of launch Xbox 360 consoles

I posted this in the official CAG Xbox 360 Pre-order thread, but thought it was newsworthy enough on its own.

From Walmart.com

"We're sorry, but we've SOLD OUT of our initial launch quantity of Xbox 360 hardware. However, the Xbox 360 will be AVAILABLE IN WAL-MART STORES AT 12:00 AM on TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 22."

Sold out, huh? Wonder how many they had to begin with...

I found this listing for 360 on Walmart.com. It lets you add it to the cart and check out but the shipping is $300.00. I called customer service and they said that the shipping price is right.

I have to say that I'm am starting to be amazed that these places are selling out of these bundles. At this point, it looks like Microsoft knew what they were doing launching first during a Holiday season. They look to have a very large user base at launch.
