What best buy people have told you is most likely not accurate. i talked to a worker who has had experience with other apple ipod releases and he says apple doesnt tell them. They just show up some random day on a ups truck. So i think probably wed. to thurs. somewhere in there. Ah apple, u gotta love him.
 
Most associates at BB have no idea exactly when they will receive the new iPods. I was talking to an associate at a local BB and he told me to start calling starting Wednesday until they come in.
 
I called two of my local stores on Long Island and was told "Tomorrow", Thursday.

On BestBuy.com, it says "Order Now, Pick Up at Store 9/29".

Hmm...
 
Just Called My Best Buy

Just for the heck of it, I just called over to my Best Buy (Michigan) and asked them if they got them in yet and they are still saying, all we know is they told us sometime in the next 2 weeks!!!!!! - How can some Best Buy stores have them out for sale today and others have no idea when they will be even coming in.
 
in Tampa, one area BB has one shown on the website as in stock available for in store pickup. So go to bestbuy.com and check local store the stock. It's kept up to the hour it seems.
 
I had went to Best Buy yesterday and the employee told me they would be getting the ipod touches sometime this month or next. I just checked the website and for my local Best Buy(Lubbock, TX) it says Available Now - pickup 09/08/2010. I'm about to go check it out.
 
Take what the Best Buy employees say with a grain of salt. I mean, when I went to pre-order my Black iPhone 4 I asked them (knowing myself that the White iPhone 4s were being delayed at Apple Stores) if they were still doing White iPhone pre-orders and if they were in fact receiving them. The rep told me that he was completely positive that they would get them on launch day and asked if I wanted to preorder one myself. I would have probably done it, but I knew he was probably mistaken and I'd end up with a useless reservation, so I stuck with my Black iPhone 4 reservation.

They still have yet to receive white iPhones. There have even been customers called over the phone on release day by Best Buy employees telling them they're holding the white iPhone 4s in their hands ready for the customer to come pick up their reservation, yet when the customer arrives they realize that the employee was mistaken.

I figure we know more about the products and their release than they do.
 
I just got back from Best Buy and no ipod touches, even though on the website it says it's available today. The employee told me their is no way of knowing when they'll be in, he said it could be tomorrow or even next month:eek: He told me just to be checking everyday around noon.
 
Got mine at Best Buy today. They had plenty of the 8GB and 32GB models. I cheaped out and got the 8GB...I hope I don't regret it. Unless individual apps start becoming ginormous, I should be fine.

Too bad they didn't have any cases.

For what it's worth, I'm in Madison, WI. For those who may be in Madison, the eastside BB had them.
