spudbyknight - hopefully you're right - the shop now link for tablets goes to a 'page not found', perhaps a good sign....(glass half full)

It was the same last night.

I reserved mine at Comet earlier so hopefully the price drop will happen in time for the reservation to expire at the end of tomorrow...

I've looked on COmet's website but can't find any official T&C documentation relating to their click & collect service, anyone know where I could find something? I want to be prepared if they argue about the pricing/reserved stock!

Glass now half empty (or it still could be a good sign - perhaps UK webmonkeys/management are slower than their foreign counterparts)

HP website is where the fun is going to be...

I've just had Comet on the phone asking me to collect mine today. I've got it reserved until close of business tomorrow so I told them I can't make it until sometime tomorrow.

Staff are going home with your touchpad tonight

The only reservation system I trust is Argos, as I think it blocks the till from selling it. But PC World someone goes and picks it from the shelf and puts it to one side.

They just phoned me about my reservation and I thought I'd ask. The guy on the phone told me that if the price changes before you collect, you get it for whatever the price is when you collect not the price you reserved it at.

People keep worrying about Argos and Comet. Check the HP website its all I am saying. Its the only one you need to check.

I reserved mine yesterday, but ive got till the end of today to collect otherwise they'll go back to being available. How can i reserve it for longer?

I have ordered a couple (one for me, one for parents), just hoping they don't put up an argument over pricing. Judging by what is happening, it will happen tomorrow at the latest if it is happening.

This must be the slowest fire sale ever

It's ok. Robbo will give me one of his if I don't get mine from Comet.

It's just a mispelling in the link, the page is actually still up it's just here; http://h41112.www4.hp.com/promo/webos/uk/en/tablet/touchpad.html
If you go via the palm site you can get to it, via the HP one they have put tablets rather than tablet.

Would help if they lit the fire so to speak.

There are no guarantees I'm going to get one at all, especially if these stories about DSG staff being tossers are true
