Don't look for your
FLGS to do this unless the owner is a huge fanboy of the technology and personally wants one. It's not something that can make the store money, has a high upfront cost, would need repairs and maintainance, and you'd be constantly trying to show people how it was used, as the vast majority of gamers would have no clue. Awesome to have if it's your hobby, crappy business strategy.
A better question would be, When will Kinkos have them?
