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

[Pigeon_Killer]

Someone on HDUK has just posted they got one for £39.99! The next poster told him he'd just bought the cover by mistake

 

[scrlk]

What's the situation with CPW? Are they going to relist the Touchpad with a one unit per customer limit?

Doesnt surprise me. There are some right morons on that site

No need to log in to track order

I know that but its just the fact that it doesnt remember me is causing worries.

No, all their stock has been sold. And then some!

Guess I need to venture outside and pray my local Comet et al has some in stock!

You're possibly right, but there were posters on here earlier buying 4 and 5 respectively at full price. Others have said they "do not know.. (what to do).. with their excess".

We all want the same thing, but some simply want to deprive others. The killing links on other sites is simply abhorrent so that this select few can each buy multiple units.

At the end of the day the shops should have done more (one per postal address), but some of the actions on here today have not been 'nice'.

Ive seen it happen on HUKD with HUKD deals - people make things cold/expire things to maximise the amount they can get - its a standard thing over there...

It would be funny to do a HUKD forum search for 'why has this been expired' and see the number of hits youd get...

To think OcUK is that bad takes a massive leap of faith Im afraid...

I know what you mean, the spamming/expiring of deals elsewhere is a little OTT. What I don't get is actually why people post upcoming deals on sites like that in a way, it just decreases the chances of you getting on. I've posted a few one there, but only once I've completed the deal myself. Always look after number one.

It's not like they get anything for it, apart from some heat!

At least you appreciate where I'm coming from.

 

[Drossla]

GAH! Wish I had the day off work tomorrow to hunt one down. Saying that I do work 1 min away from Oxford Street

 

[Danger Phoenix]

So for those who only got the initial confirmation... what happens?

 

[muon]

So for CPW, everyone who ordered by phone had their order proceed to stage 2 immediately? Kind of unfair.

Possible incoming price reduction on the Palm Pre 3

Not coming to the US so there should be plenty of stock for Europe.

No idea what time their servers will be back online, but I imagine it will be after I go to bed, and before I wake up

I don't know overclockers too well if I'm honest, or HDUK forums at all, but on my regular forum which is a football fansite, there is simply a bargain thread which people contribute to with the intention of aiding each other, not sabotaging other sites.

It makes sense, theres someone at the other end of the line processing their transaction as they talk, whereas with online orders you have to wait for some poor intern to sift through the 1000's of orders that built up in a matter of seconds

 

[sHo0sH]

Can't be bothered to read the whole thread, is it worth buying at full price and hoping for a refund in difference?

 

[ash_scotland88]

Just learned about this, what the device actually like and capable of?

I know HP isn't supporting it, but will android still update etc?

 

[Azza]

Still haven't had my acceptance email or a cancellation email from CPW. ~7:20 I placed my order, got the first email at 7:14.

Then to be quite blunt, you have a very rosy view of HUKD - I think here we are far more likly to look after our own than make a short-term profit, but I agree not everyone will be like that. I couldnt say the same for HUKD though...
