Poll: HP TouchPad - $99 in US - any sign of UK drop?

[joxang]

Thanks OCUK!! PCW now out of stock, so guess I was lucky enough to get it in the 5 minute window thanks to the prompt forum post .

I hate PCW so much. Ran out of stock adding it to basket!

What muppets develop these sites? Once you have it in your basket, it should be reserved as a single transaction.

Guys your best bet is to get down to a local CPW as they can't be reserved online and most of the shops were closed when the price dropped last night.

lol too slow typing my password into PCW and it went out of stock as I checked out

Argh! I couldn't remember my password and took me 3 tries.

I was told by local staff that they order them in

Gave up on Staples, even the sneaky buggers listed it ex VAT!

mmmm.....talk about trying to scam people and hoping they won't notice in their frantic attempts to get one

CPW and paperclips store local to me are out... purple shirts out of stock...

Expansys listing as 100+ in stock with no price drop. I'd register an account there just so you can stay logged in, plop one in your basket and check out as soon as the drop happens.

Finally got my TouchPad!

Went in to Comet (had two reserved, let the staff member have the other one as dad decided he didn't want!), asked about the TouchPad reserve, tghey got it up.. £429.99 (or £479 I forget)

Crap. She was helpful and went straight to the manager. He confirmed I wasn't going mad (I said to the staff member, erm it is £115 now, think she thought I was taking the **** ), manager came straight over and explained it and went to get me my tablet. Easy, in and out in 13 minutes

Thanks Comet!

Well impressed with PC World. Preordered mine on Sunday, went yesterday but couldn't order because cheapest price hadn't kicked in. Went this morning, they have kept me 2 beautiful pads for myself. Well pleased.

Or just checkout with Paypal.
