Currently sitting in the queue! 20 mins to go until T-Shirt time, woohoo!!

just back!

just back from the opening of the new bluewater store.

very nice, very nice indeed. no real special offers, but they were giving out little white boxes of goodies (they generally contained ipod socks and such, but whats the betting one or two have a little secret gift in it...)

there were some queues to get in, but nothing more than 20-30 minutes wait and still small enough to get general shoppers joining in not just us apple fans.

the store itself - well, i can compare it to two that i've been to. it's pretty much a carbon copy of the one at fashion parade in Vegas, perhaps a little bigger and definitely contains a lot more. it's about 1/3rd size of the ground floor at the regent's street store but has everything you could possibly want, including a nice big genius bar. to be honest it was a bit crowded to get a real impression of the place, but on first looks it really is a nice store.

i'll be back when the excitement dies down a bit to have a proper poke around!

This is the store front 10 mins before opening. The que was pretty small, I would guess at about 100 or so at opening time. The atmosphere was great as the doors opened, high fives and applause all round.

wow, i love how they've integrated the storefront into the small..

smoother than some of the other mall-stores i've seen..

I have never heard of this happening before can you please provide more information, you sure these white boxes did not contain the t-shirts.

Well there were four of us and we all got white boxes and they all contained the Apple Bluewater T-Shirt and very nice they are too.

hey guys,

so, who's going to the apple store bluewater opening? apparantly it opens this saturday. http://www.macworld.co.uk/news/index.cfm?home&NewsID=12005

spidey? hob? hector?

i would love to go, so long as we have a macrumors 'posse' that'd be great!

post here if you're planning on coming..it's kinda in the middle of nowhere (well, compared to regent street) so maybe we could have a meet at the london store and go down there together or something...

look forward to seeing some of you guys!

Wow! You thought of me! I actually feel quite special 🙂

I only mention this because I'm parousing bluewater listings to see WHY I can't access their GeniusBar!! Grrr...! Guess I'll just have to bite the bullet and phone support about my Broken G5!
