MSI has announced that people wishing to get their hands on an MSI Wind U100 Netbook can stroll into their nearest Best Buy starting today and pick up the 10" 3-cell version with a 1.6GHz Intel Atom processor and Windows XP for $399. Before your rush out to get one though, keep in mind that the updated U120 version with HDSPA could hit before Christmas.

You'd think that the netbook would have extended to the brick-and-mortar stores by now, but I haven't been able to find a single model for sale at the local establishments. Sure, Best Buy has been advertising the EeePC 9 inch for ages, and they even have an in-store display unit. Too bad you have to order it from their website if you actually want to get your mitts on one.

Hopefully that's not the case with the Wind. I might have to go confirm that this is not the case. I'll make sure to bring someone with me who will not allow me to buy one if they're physically in stock. Impulse by price + the instant gratification of walking out the door with product in hand is a dangerous combo.
