Xbox DVD Remote -- Where can I find it?

I'm getting my new tv this week, and I would like (at that time) to be able to start watching DVD's on it with my xbox.

Gamestop doesn't have this in stock, Bestprices.com is out too, and the local Best Buy won't answer the phone (I don't have a car).

Any surefire places I can get this ASAP?

thanks,
Tuan Jim

Was looking for it as well, my ToysRUs and BestBuy were both sold out. Might want to call around before driving anywhere.

Amazon has them now as shipping within 24 hours. I have seen the remotes at my local WalMarts and Target stores. Shortages must be a region thing.

Probably -- it's kinda weird -- the local gamestop says they only get a couple in at any one time. Never more than that and they're always instantly gone.

Also, they don't actually have any kind of ordering system. they just get what the company sends them so they can't really order more of any one item. Irritating since they're also out of JSRF. I'll have to call tomorrow to see if it's come in (I have credit there).

thanks, I meant at the local store. Heck, the online place jacks it up $5 before adding shipping. I just went ahead and ordered it and the HDAV pack from amazon.com

thanks for the info.

When I bought mine a few weeks ago all retail stores within 30 miles were sold out. The last resort was EB and I had to pay their gouged $35.99 price

I just bought an Xbox DVD remote from Target, they have plenty of them. I also bought Wreckless at Best Buy for $39.99, they also had plenty of DVD remotes.
Target and Best Buy had DVD remotes for $29.99.
