Methinks you are out of luck, when I checked with my wholesaler (out in 
Richmond) a couple months back the wait was around 3-4 weeks to get a 350 in 
stock.  Being that NCIX and most of the major retailers use the same 
suppliers, Ingram Micro, Tech Data etc, the likelyhood of you being able to 
get something locally is pretty slim.

Actually just spoke with my supplier  (Elco Systems) and he says he can get 
the 350 in late next week if ordered this week. It is a special order item 
though, so that is just a rough estimate.  If you have no luck, I can order 
one for you, cost would be $275+taxes.  You'd pay me the day before I deliver 
it to you.

Note: NCIX probably sells it for cheaper, sadly many of the items I but 
wholesale are a few dollars cheaper retail at NCIX, likely due to the volume 
they sell.

A PVR-250 has a 1-2 day lead time and would cost $205+taxes.

You might also check out London Drugs. I got my 250 there on sale for $180 a 
few months back, I seem to remember they had the 350 in stock but it was not 
on sale at the time.
