[euugenn]

Everyone who thinks im crazy is just DAMN RIGHT, cause i cannot find a real excuse for myself but the hype.

) it's funny because it's true...i would do the same if i were in london on friday. I will arrive there a few days later so I'll try to reserve one online. hopefully I'll be able to pick it up once I arrive.

Another suggestion, something that Ive just done.
Log into apple website now, just make sure all your account details/delivery address/information is up to date.

It'll help with quicker and smoother ordering later and it cant hurt.
I imagine quite a few will be staying up late tonight

 

[euugenn]

good point, thank you for this

 

[spajdr]

Im not gonna stay in line, since i have preorder and will get informed by phone when it will be ready for me. You dont have preorder option available?

 

[euugenn]

just noticed they say they only accept maestro issued in the UK.

do you have any idea if any other credit card works? (like VISA)

Cmon guys, lower than 1h and 45 minutes to go and its damn scary quite in this forum.

U cant tell me u aint sitting iin front of you comp waiting for the online order to start

I am constantly refreshing the page (from 2 to 2 minutes)

I got a reservation at an Apple Premium Reseller (we don't have actual official Apple Stores here) but I'm a bit anxious to see if I will get one at launch as I reserved it 2 weeks ago and they said I already had 80 people with reservations ahead of me...let's see, I guess I will know by 5h pm tomorrow!

Still, I'm curious to see how long will it take for stock to run down at the Apple online stores so I will be hitting refresh at the online stores starting 00h00 am, hehehe (or is it 01h00 am they are going on sale online? I haven't quite understood yet)

Finally I will be outside at the mall at 6h30 AM (Mall opens at 10 and the apple store too)

Think I will have a nice spot or I need to go earlier or later?

Edit I'm in Canada of course

 

[Lifet1me]

2:00 am GMT it is said, but i think theres a tolerance

 

[euugenn]

@ratatapa : you should go now and break into the mall, locate apple store and steal 4-5. more risky but cheaper )

 

[ratatapa]

Yeah good idea, but would also love real comments

 

[Lifet1me]

I still dont think it will be able for order before 1:00 am

 

[euugenn]

@Lifet1me: probably, anyway - you'll laugh thinking about this 10-20 years from now, maybe showing your kids this exact forum and they'll say: "you waited till 1 AM just to order this?"

.. "and that crazy guy kept refreshing from 2 to 2 minutes - LOL"
