Who's joining the queue for iPad 2 on Friday then?

Mackeral_Fillet · 23 Mar 2011 at 19:53

I am. I'll be at Westfield in London. Stocks are going to be seriously low i think and it will definitely sell out in an hour or so.

Im planning on getting there around 12pm.

Anyone else planning an it?!

No I won't, but do you mind getting me one while you're there?

sorry for being ignorant but is there no where on the net you can pre order the product and get it delivered?

its the same for consoles. Everyone goes out and wait all night when you can just pre order it online and not have to go camp all night.

and frankly i would not bother camping out for it.

i'll be joining the 1am queue online. CBA with queuing up for hours in store when they may well run out.

Is that online for delivery only? Or online purchase and option to pick up in store?

online is for delivery only.

it will take a week or what have you, but i'ts worth it not to have to ring round stores chasing stock for that week.

Wonder if we in NZ will get it first because midnight here is the first midnight in the world?! Or will they stagger the release.

I shall post here tonight when I find out as it's just under 14 hours away now. Not personally interested in one but the GF is. The things I do!

I think queuing is a bit excessive personally. But then again, didn't Sony give away TVs or something to the people who queued up for PS3s? Plus, everyone in line is going to have at least one thing in common so maybe I'm the one missing out!

I would queue but I'm at work. I might get someone to queue up for me though.

Matd80 · 23 Mar 2011 at 23:19

Isn't it going on sale @ 5pm now fri

Jambo · 23 Mar 2011 at 23:51

I really want one for my flight to Oz on 1st April but there is no chance I am queuing for it. Need to hope for the best they can ship 'em quick online.

Tunney · 23 Mar 2011 at 23:54

No, I have a job.

Robbo · 23 Mar 2011 at 23:59

Nope. I might if the Apple shop was a bit closer though.

Can't queue as I'm at work and working the midnight launch of the 3DS too...

Turbo-G · 24 Mar 2011 at 00:53

I'm tempted. The stores will be closing at 3pm and opening again at 5 so I imagine the queues will get pretty big during the afternoon. I'm tempted to leave work a couple of hours and try my luck at 3pm ish - undecided yet.

I probably order online tomorrow morning then pop to Bluewater after work, luckily leave at 3.30pm so I see what the queue is like.

If I get one I will cancel the online order.

[Olly] · 24 Mar 2011 at 07:20

I can see there being some crazy queues but I think I'm going to give a try.

Totality · 24 Mar 2011 at 08:16

NZ news sites are saying it goes on sale 3am NZ time and 5pm NZ time in the shops. Can't see why its 3am for web sales and not midnight!

Simpic · 24 Mar 2011 at 08:19

Nope, nowt wrong with my original!!
