Can you guys think of anywhere else that might have them?

Already called the local Radio Shacks, FYEs, Gamestops, and Play N Trades.
Do you have a Shopko in Provo? Their video game selection is usually pathetic but it might be worth a call.
Trying Best Buys, but it's not looking good. Called ShopKo. They told me no store will be getting the bundle in.

eBay is your last option, but you're looking at $90 - $100.

I'll swing by said Best Buy again on my way home tomorrow. If by some freak chance it's still there, I'll be sure to grab it for you.

Amazon and I worked it out. I purchased it with expedited shipping from one of the third party sellers for a total of 120 and they credited me 50. It's still going to be a few days out, but I'm glad to be getting it. I'm pretty sure part of it is that I do a ton of shopping over there, as she mentioned them appreciating my frequent business. I make about 20 orders a month.

I feel bad for being so angry with the last couple representatives I talked to. I wasn't expecting them to take the hit like that. They certainly do take their customer service seriously. It's not a perfect situation, but I feel pretty humbled.

Yep, that's me. 99% of the time I have an absolutely pleasant experience with Amazon CS, but on the rare occasion they give me a slight hassle I kindly remind them how much I spend there monthly. I purchased a $320 motherboard from them two years back, tracking said it was delivered...I immediately informed them of the situation. No questions asked I had a brand new Asus mobo delivered the next afternoon. I love Amazon!

Red Steel 2 also has a bundle package the Motion Plus add on. It was clearance a while back, maybe you might get lucky and still find one.
