It is not like there is an absolute timeframe, but when they are releasing without a press conference the stores normally go down at 12-13 CEST and come up again at 15.00 CEST.
Right now it is 10.55 CEST so there should still be a couple hours before the stores go down. That is if there will be any updates today.
I really do hope so but I still have some doubt. I really want a new 27" so my girlfriend can get my old one, What I need from it is only to have a better graphics card, what I want is
- USB 3
- Firewire 3200
- One aditional room for an HD (so I can get a SSD bootdrive)
- Desktop graphics card (preferebly swapable, but that I think is the least likely)
Still if I get the USB 3 and FW 3200 and a gfx card like the ati 5850 or nvidia 470 I would by instantly and be very very happy.
