Ordered from the UK online store for my "up to date" offer at £7.95 inc shipping. Estimated ship date showing as August 28th.

Nice touch that even refurb's get the offer.
 
Um no. A lot of people illegally downloaded a torrent of a file said to be the Gold Master but never confirmed to be, and others have the developers seeds. Nobody has a boxed official copy of Snow Leopard.

But there are only a few days between the release of the 432A build and the 28th of August. 432A must be the GM!
 
Its available in the US store now too.

read before posting, and duh, its the up-to-date program...

Er.. how exactly do I order it? I see no "Add to basket..." on the UK page! :confused:

go to the up-to-date webpage if you qualify for the update and you can get it there
 
Anyone have any ideas of when SL will ship with BTO Mac purchases? I want to buy a mattebook pro, but thought it is this close, I might as well wait until SL comes with the thing.

The Canadian store is back to September as well.

It's more like they're testing things probably and my I guess it's deliberate as well to create a even bigger hype than it already was.

Am I being stupid here, but how do you actually order it? There doesn't seem to be anywhere to buy it!

EDIT: Got it!
 
My credit card was pre-authorized last week and has changed to the full amount over night for two up-to-date copies on separate orders. I expect they will be awaiting my arrival home in the states next Friday (28th). The Brits really get shafted with their price of £7.95 which is now $13.03. But in all due deference, the Queen gets 17.5% VAT where we in the US can get hit with 8% sales tax with 10% usually a top rate. Thus my delivered price with tax is $10.51 or £6.41. They also get preferential inflated pricing for all the gear as well.
 
"preOrdered" from German store

I was just able to place a "pre order" for delivery on 28 August on the German Apple page...using the "up to date program" links.
 
I'm in the UK and I had to mail in the forms when I ordered for up-to-date as online wasn't working. If I check the status via up-to-date it says that they received and approved my application and I will be charged when they ship. If I log into my account on the Apple Store, there is no note of an order at all - is this correct? Should I have something in my store account? No activity on my CC yet.
 
Well, this all but confirms that build is the GM. I was holding off in case it wasn't, but I guess I can finally replace my Leopard installation and go back to single-boot.
 
I bought my brand new, sealed Macbook Pro 13 from an Ebay seller in the UK. It was obviously post June 8th 2009, but the question is how do I get my copy of the OS? it only seems to be for those who bought through the official channels.
