Gotcha! But why is Micro Center so slow in getting Z68 boards while Newegg already is selling tons of them (well "tons" is a little over saying). Anyone hear, read or know anything when MC will start stocking them?
 
I called Fry's and they also did not have any stocked yet. I figure 1 of the 2 scenarios is probably applicable.
1) They chose to not expedite shipping from the vendor.
2) They want to purge existing inventory.
 
My MC in Rockville, Maryland had the P8V68-V Pro this week and sold out quickly.

I checked online Thursday and there were a couple in stock at Rockville - reserved one immediately and picked it up Friday. Have to give them credit, not only did they let me swap my P8P67 Deluxe B3 (which itself was a replacement for my original P8P67 Pro B2), but they honored my combo discount on the board from January. And yes, it does seem that new boards trickle into MC rather than coming in by the crateload! So far, none of the problems I experienced with both P8P67 boards.
 
Went to Microcenter @ Boston today. No Z68 mobos there.

Plenty of 2500k and 2600k ($279.99)...
 
My MC in Denver has them, and they're still in stock as of a couple days ago when I got my deal on my HAF X case.
