I can just imagine it now. "I'm sorry sir whoever told you that was incorrect". Then the employee keeps it for himself :P

Do we know if its going to be first thing? Same question about Comet. Got one reserved there for my brother and trying to work out whether to go first thing or later in the day.
 
I ordered through carphonewarehouse by phone, but forgot to note down any order number. Is there any way to find it out now? I've not got any email, but ordered really quite early on when the website had only just come back up.
 
For Currys/PC World there will be a lot of stock places that people didnt pick up today, so that will go back into the system at some point overnight you would assume. If people reserved on Sunday they expired at the close of business today.
 
I reserved one at yeovil PCWorld earlier on in the afternoon, and went to pick it up at 6:30. They had it at the £429 price and initially said I couldn't have it at the £115, so I said I wasn't buying something that was £300 above their web price. The manager(?) came over and did a heroic wrestle with their system, which like someone else said involved putting the stock above 4 to enable a reservation at £115. It was a bit concerning as it appeared I wasn't going to get it, even though it was sitting on its box on the table in front of me, but it went through.

They had 2 32GB, and while I was there someone else came in for a 32GB and 16GB (an older couple - didn't look geeky at all :eek: ).

Anyway, got it home and it is rather nice, probably worth the £429. Certainly worth the £115! :D
 
Like many others, I too had one reserved at PC World, however, that doesn't mean anything apparently. When I got there I was told that despite them having the stock I could not buy them because they were barred as there is a possible recall of units. I personally believe that Dixons has pooled all the stock from PCW & Currys to sell online. So those who have them reserved until tomorrow, like me, don't be too hopeful.

Secondly, the hoarding on here is a disgrace with people bragging about buying half a dozen that they don't even know how they will use & killing links on other sites for those who want one for personal use. Great site lads.
 
You'll probably be ok, everyone who ordered over phone seems to have got theirs dispatched. Everyone who ordered online hasn't got any further than the Step 1.
