A co-worker had his 360 red ring the other night. He is sending his bricked one to Microsoft for a fixed one, however he wants the Elite so he can use an HDMI cable, etc. So he plans on selling the model he gets back. The problem? It seems like the world's supply of 360 Elites seems to have dried up.Best Buy has nadda in stock. Amazon only offers 3rd party models. Rumor from somewhere was that a store had 700+ in stock and then after the weekend had none. Sent them back?
Either Microsoft planned poorly and there is a lag between manufacturing drops, or Microsoft might be clearing out the present Elites with a refresh. Thing is I haven't seen many talking about the lack of Elites that are out there. Have an idea what might be going on?

“Same thing is happening here in WA. No Elites to be found. I live 15 mins. from microsoft and have friends that work there. Only thing i have heard on the subject is that Microsoft has pulled all elites. One store confirmed this and they added that microsoft is repackaging the elites. (if they do modify anything i hope they reduce the size of their power cable)”
