Once the hot newness wears off they will be avail for the 5$ price.
All the Pi models were sold at a premium by vendors when first released.
Like I said above, when Micro Center gets large stocks in they will probably sell a bit below the 5$ price. They discount all the models a little below the Pi.org price.
The hard part is the waiting!
Not really five bucks... and not really available.Note that the cables being included by some vendors make up most of the cost. The board itself really is $5.
Also note that they are including the board with every copy of the December issue of MagPi magazine. I'm not sure if the local Barnes and Noble stores carry that magazine, but if I find one, I'll almost certainly pick it up.
It's been years since I did any embedded systems development, but I'm feeling the urge to take it up again. :-)
