Last week we reported about a rumored dispute between Apple and Best Buy over the retail chain’s supposed policy to hold onto its iPad 2 stock after daily sales quotas were met for each day. It turns out there was no love lost between Apple and Best Buy at all. But Best Best is holding on to some of its iPad 2 inventory as part of an upcoming promotion, which there are no details for as of this time.
BGR received a message from Best Buy detailing the situation.
“Best Buy continues to receive iPad 2 inventory from Apple on a regular basis. As we’ve said previously, we are fulfilling customer reservations first. Our stores have been asked to temporarily hold non-reserved iPad 2 inventory for an upcoming promotion. This is a customary practice for us when there are supply constraints. Best Buy enjoys a great partnership with Apple, and we’re delighted by customer response to iPad 2.”

So I have really been wasting my time going there every morning at 10. Trying to get two for my kids and want damage replacement. Anyone besides BB doing this?
