YES...I live in Hawaii....I bought a Q gold unit from the Aiea store in Hawaii. I was PERSONALLY in the Aiea store the day they sold their last unit from the first shipment. I PERSONALLY spoke to the MANAGER from the HOME THEATER deparment inquiring when they would receive more. We walked over to his computer and he showed me Hawaii was sold out in both stores & I would have to wait till they received the next shipment. I PERSONALLY spoke to the customer who bought the last one out from under me. I PERSONALLY had to wait till the JUNE shipment to buy a Q GOLD. I PERSONALLY bought my unit on sale @ $599, brought it home, set it up & enjoyed "Pirates of the Carribbean" in the comfort of my home with my feet up & drinking a beer.
If you want to spin any more rumors or tales leave Hawaii out, Because I am watching my home front like a Hawk...a Hawaiian Hawk who is heavily invested in SLS.
