Play the long game and wait till they come on eBay on mass, once the hysteria has died down you should get one for a good enough price.

Yep
Well of my 3 reservations today, I got screwed over by two. Lucky to get the one I did tbh.
I'm sorry but my offer above has to be removed as I got a call by them making an excuse.
Update for CPW orders:
I ordered 2 for store delivery yesterday and got an e-mail saying my order would not be honoured. After noticing money had come out of my account, I called CPW and they say those 2 units were still allocated to me, the system was blocking/holding people getting items dispatched to stores (they are not shipping to stores due to Riots!?!?!). So if you ordered for store delivery, and had a rejection e-mail, I advise you to call them with your order number. The guy on the phone offered to refund my money, or dispatch to store, I picked the latter

I put the sauce hashtag above it
PCW Update:
Called them up with order number. Very hassled (and rude) sounding guy on phone. He told me that they only had a few physical tablets in stock in the morning, and the rest of their stock had to be ordered in. But that they would fulfil your order if you had a "preparing your PC World order for delivery" email. They just couldn't give a date.
I'm not sure he realised the situation surrounding the touchpads as it sounded like a bit of a canned response...where are they going to get more stock from

Just phoned the Argos store where I have my reservation (32gb) and she didn't know anything about the product but she told me that price changed and offer changes usually happen on Thursday mornings.
She then kindly extended my reservation until end of play on Saturday
