Where's the option for "no"?

My wife is going to Best Buy about 4pm or 4:30pm to pick one up.

:p That's the story I'm telling the wife.

Honestly, I'm not a big fan of lines and crowds and there is too many other things I could be doing with my time. If all the stores around me stick to the 5pm, then I'll show up at 4:50. I figure with Walmart, Target, Best Buy, and Sams, I should be able to grab one. If not, I'll order it online.
 
I quit my job as soon as I found out the ipad 2 was coming out. I want to be able to spend as much time as I can playing with the new ipad. When I get tired of it, I will start looking for a new job.
 
Just stopped by my local BB and they said they expect to be selling them at open at 10:00. May have to make this 1/2 day into a full day and get there about 9:30.

Be sure to bring $10,000. That's how much they will cost in the system until it is updated with the correct price at 5pm.

I hear ya, I hope he is right. If he is not I will just go into work 10-2 and then go back at 5:00. I am looking for the 64G AT&T black so I think they will still be there. 16G wifi only should go fast.
 
I'm off every Friday. So Im hopeful to get two iPads this weekend. A black 64gb and white 32gb, both wifi.
 
i took friday off. going to head to the apple store around noon. my girlfriend is coming with me so atleast we can swap spots in line for food and stuff. if theres no line at noon well just kill time. walking around I know the store will have plenty.
 
I'm thinking to get there late morning with a portable chair where I can just work from my laptop until 5p. I'm sure someone will be there in the early morning, but hopefully they won't start really lining up until after lunch.

I have enough room on the credit card ... might be worth it to buy at 10 g's , then come back later for a price match! :D
 
Leaving at 1:30 and will get to the Apple store by 2:00. It's in a mall, so if there is no line, I can always waste time shopping and eating at the food court. Will keep checking back and then get in line.
 
5pm

I think I'll be leaving work at 5pm. I want to keep my $250 for the day. I'll save any vacation days for when I'm in hawaii sipping on a mojito with my Ipad 2 in hand. :cool:
 
1. Most people who are lining up are going to go to the 5th Ave. Apple Store in NYC instead of Best Buy. (I have to go to BB, I have gift cards).

2. I'll leave my job at 4:00pm and get to Best Buy by 4:30pm. I figure that should be enough time to snag a 64GB 3G AT&T Black.
 
I took a half day only to get the whole day off anyway for an unrelated reason. Just picked up my portable chair at walmart for $5, and I'll probably hit the oakbrook store in the morning sometime.
