On Wednesday, retailer Best Buy announced that it will begin selling the recently-released Apple TV at all of its 822 locations beginning next week with the device in stock as of Tuesday.
Initial shipments are stated to be limited to 3,000 units according to AppleInsider, which means that each store will only receive about four to five units at first. Best Buy will be given a two week head start on other retailers in selling the media device.
Apple and Best Buy are currently participating in an ongoing pilot program aimed at testing how Apple’s computers sell in various Best Buy locations. The provisions of the agreement state that Apple will sell its products in about 50 retail locations, this number up from the original seven. The program is set to last until September 7th of this year.
The Apple TV retails for US$299 and shipped earlier this week.
