Anyone give me a tl;dr update?

Had to go to work before 6pm so missed out on the chance of getting one after waiting all day :'(

Any chance of still getting one anywhere?

Tesco has just reduced its prices!! Managed to secure one myself just now!

Why are people saying the Argos site is down? I can get on and it's RRP.

 

[Sin_Chase]

Rumoured to go down at 2330, not now.

tl;dr = Other retailers with potential stock still to price drop.

Quite a few, but no idea of the stock levels.

What was the UK's total stock? I've read that the US had between 250k & 500k.

It is going down at 11:30pm (~30mins) according to their twitter feed.

Many are reporting 100/200+. Whether that is accurate is yet to be seen.

Going down for a price update, or just because they are going to do something to it?

The rain forest, directly not other sellers, appears to have temporarily run out of stock of 32gb. Maybe price is being updated?

Isn't it one of the Amazon Preferred Merchants though?

tesco is out of stock anyway

Companies don't have servers lying around gathering dust just on the off chance it gets busy one night. You load balance them all of the time.

Fairly large retail companies generally do (or should) have measures in place for situations like this. It doesn't necessarily mean having 'servers lying around' though.

Click the stock amount to see direct with them, by the way not sure you can name them directly

 

[scrlk]

Get this on repeat to pump up your adrenaline to get one of these things!

Wish i went for 32GB one now, Really impressed by it for web browsing and media, but it just feels a bit empty

Possible incoming price reduction on the Palm Pre 3

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

Where is the thread for that one then? can spend all of tuesday refreshing too!
