I am currently at the side of the store where the queue started last year !
No sign of anyone else yet but I don't think it'll be long (I hope not !)

I'm leaving work in 1 minute! Then driving for an hour :P

Awesome ! See you soon !!
If you quick enough the food court does not close until 10pm

Hope you have a comfortable night. As much as I'd like an iPad 3, with work tomorrow I don't think I could pull an all nighter.

I'm planning on coming down early tomorrow morning (around 6am). If you could post a couple of updates on the queue length around 5am - 6am then it would certainly be appreciated.

Hehe didn't make it in time for the food court. I'm the sixth in line with my friend in the camping chairs! *waves*

same here, would appreciate an update around 4am to see whether it's worth coming down or not.
Thanks
Andy

Ive pre-ordered for the first time this year (Didnt on the 4S) and got to be honest I'm sort of missing the "fun" of the queue.... how daft is that! lol

Hope it doesnt rain for you lads!

I wanna rick n roll all night, and party every day!

Tesco Extra on Saville Street started selling them 15 minutes ago... If they had more than eight in stock I would have gone down. I really can't be bothered queuing all night like I did for the iPad 1 event!

4:30am update- The queue surprisingly isn't that long, about 25 deep.

Wish I'd come down now! What's it like now?

tc3nitro · Mar 16, 2012, 01:25 AM

I'd say at least 50+

andyvm · Mar 16, 2012, 01:28 AM

Just bought one from John Lewis, pick up tomorrow!

sinar · Mar 16, 2012, 11:50 AM

I've just come back from Meadowhall, they seemed to have lots of stock (at 3pm)

I ordered online and had one delivered, but after seeing mine my Mum wanted one so we went meadowhall on the offchance they would have some left.

She picked up a 32gb white wi-fi.
