None here in N Texas. Anyone have a chapter list? (As if I need more incentive to pique my interest ;) .)

It is possible that I might have missed a category (I was flipping through the manuscript, not the book), or that something has been changed from the manuscript, but I think I covered them all. I believe Steve mentioned that there were some 3,300 powers listed in the book between all those categories. It seemed like more to me. :)
The book also has some new Adders, Advantages, and Limitations included in sidebars which expand how some of the powers from FREd can now operate.

I got mine in Ohio.
Cameout Fri during my FLGS's annual 20% off sale, so I bought 2, 1 for a Christmas Gift to inspire my friends to GM again

A little over 3,300 was my count based on taking all the example powers and all the listed variants on them. If you just counted the basic example powers (not a very fair thing to do, IMO, given the utility of the variants, but that's how some people think), it would be less than that -- exactly 750, according to my quickie counting method (i.e., run a search-and-replace for a word that only occurs in a base power write-up, then have the computer tell me the number of things replaced:)). That means an average of 4.4 variants per power -- though the actual range is 0 to about 14, IIRC.

I just picked up a copy at Lone Star in Dallas for a friend, so it's made it to Texas :)

I just picked up a copy today (in Winston-Salem, NC). Haven't had a chance to look through it yet (but I was quite pleased with my read-through of the playtest copy, so I assume that I will find the real thing to be useful).

In my best child voice...
I got it! I gawt it! I gaaaaaawwwwwwt it! I gawt it!
They had five copies on the shelf at my FLGS. It was the fourth store I went to today and turned out to be the ONLY one that had it. Ironically, it was the closest; I shoulda started there first.
Anyway, I've learned my lesson with Millenium City! Since it will be a while since the next product, I'm taking my time reading this. So far, I definitely recommend it to all my friends.

Hmmm I wonder why someone swiped my braum's bacon cheeseburger (well at least they remembered the MEAT) this time!

I am from Southeast Missouri and have to drive into southern Illinois to play and shop, but I did get my USPD.
WoW. What a great book. The artwork is something to behold.

Yeah, the artists did a fantastic job. We've even got a new one in there -- Jonathan Davenport, the latest member of the Florida Art Mafia.
I think my favorite illo in there is Eric Lofgren's picture of Summer Cloud on page 15, but they're all really cool.

Hi there, Rayoman!
I guess that means I will be getting mine there today!:)
By the way, have you ever gone to the barbeque place, right up the road from Comic Book World on Shepherdsville Rd?
(Ole Hickory Pit ? I think?)
Their barbeque is pretty good.
