I keep reading posts here about them being totally sold out. But the US store says it is out of stock of 20Gb models, but still has 30 and 60 Gb models.

Before i go and send money to a friend working in the US so they can order a 30gb model for me, is there any way to check if they actually have stock?

I could ask sonicblue customer service, but by the time i got a reply they would probably have sold out.

TIA
