Well, the site was down or a while, it's back up with Leopard taking orders, for delivery by 26th October. Have to say this was an unexpected release, although rumors did say 26th.

Linky.

Normal - £85
Student - £75.20
Family Pack - £129

So, who's ordering?

That's exactly my plan.

Currently have a 500GB FireWire drive I dump everything (barr music) on, so it will be welcome if they can bump it to a 200GB-250GB 7200rpm by MacWorld SanFran :D




JUST ORDERED MY COPY VIA HE DISCOUNT... MWUHAHAHAHHA! :D;)

Wait a minute, how did you do that when you don't go to uni?

Or do you...
 
Leopard will come with iLife 08, so yes that includes iMovie, iPhoto (both new versions) iTunes etc.

You can't get the HE discount, but if you ring up and pretend you're at uni you can usually get away with it.

I'm sure EVH will enlighten you about what to say :)

I'm currently a student. I'm about to buy a MBP with the student discount. I will cease being a student in July 08. Do you suggest I pay the difference when I stop being a student?

Don't be silly, student discount is for everyone to pretend they are students forever..

But it isn't that big a deal though is it? If apple thought it was that big a deal they would have tightened the reigns on this years ago.

However...

People are still legally buying there software and not out right pirating it - just telling a little white lie about being a student.

Yep, can't see any problems with it.

If they're making it easy for us to just tell white lies, then it's their own problem tbh.

EVH does it still..

I have been out of uni for 2 years ;)

Just ring up and pretend tbh.

..I've done it so many times they don't question me anymore; I just say "I ordered xxx recently, you probably have my details from before" and they take it as proof now.

My secret then is if I want to order a second laptop/computer/software I just give my .mac address (different order history from my regular Apple ID) with the same excuse.. they can't cross trace my orders so I end up beating the system by default (system takes them as 2 separate customers)

^^ Yeah, Apple just presume your going to be nice and pay them the extra to put it on more machines than one. Strange way of doing it though :S

Ordered my copy too :p

You do realise that Apple will be shipping Leopard out via priority Mail, and it will either be delivered on the release day, or there abouts *as tiger was*

Not sure if you can "reserve" a copy over the phone (at your local store), but it's worth a try I should imagine :)

Are you going to install yours straight away?
 
Ooo, I need to get a statement today to see if they're taken my money yet :)

Fingers crossed it will be here Friday!

Whats your expected delivery date Will_3rd?
