AppleInsider StaffBest Buy said Wednesday that Apple's just-released Apple TV will be available at all of its retail locations nationwide beginning next week.
Although initial shipment are said to be limited 3,000 units — which spread across more than 800 stores means there will be about five Apple TVs available at each store — Best Buy will reportedly have a two-week head start on all other retailers.
"Though there aren't many other consumer electronics stores that sell Mac computers, this does give Best Buy an advantage over the numerous outlets that carry iPod," News.com reported.
Apple and Best Buy are engaged in an ongoing pilot program aimed at testing sales of Apple's Mac personal computer line in Best Buy stores. The two firms agreed to expand the pilot last September to approximately 50 locations, up from the original 7.
All Best Buy locations already carry Apple's line of iPod digital music players.

The more the merrier. I just hope there will be enough info on hand to explain just how this works.
3000 Apple Tvs over more than 800 units works out to less than 4 per store, not 5. Either way, they'll probably be sold out before most people even see them.

You are assuming they have a clue?
I'm looking forward to getting Reward Zone points for this thing and I'm crossing my fingers that BBY's little 12% off weekend promotions will apply to it.

I'm assuming that Apple has a clue. It's their job to supply the literature,.
