iPad 2 Launch: London, Covent Garden

[darylsudden]

I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one going?

Certainly not!

I went to the Covent Garden store today and the employee(s) I spoke to said that the store will 'most probably' open at 8am instead of 9am next Friday for the launch *g*

What time were you planning on arriving?

 

[darylsudden]

ohmaigawdthisisearly. I think I'd line up a few hours earlier.... about 4 'o clock or something

I was going to get the first tube to Covent garden which gets in at 5:44. The bus is always an option though...

I'm beginning to consider not going to bed at all, going to my meagre 2hours of lectures from 9-11am (depending on whether I have my iPad 2 in hand, I'm really not bothered if I miss them) and then get some sleep in the afternoon.

So yeah, 4am would be good for me unless you wanted to get there a bit earlier? I imagine most people would be getting the first tube in actually...

Im there!

Reckon this is gonna be an all nighter thing or just like 5am?

 

[JSage]

I think it'll depend on the weather for me.

If it's mild enough, then an all-nighter would be pretty good epic for my first time queuing for a launch

I'm definitely going to be there by 5am though. Most likely in a white hoody and trying to keep warm.

 

[darylsudden]

I will most likely be in my iCaptain-cosplay... and this Allnighter really sounds inviting. Let's be the firsts in line!

Not sure i'll be there at 4am!!!

Just got back from best buy croydon. Asked a guy about the launch. He said they will be selling at 5pm and has no idea of stock levels

This doesn't bode well if true

I considering heading to covent garden, but for me depends on whether we get pre-orders for delivery on Friday. If not then the weather. If its raining, I'll just go to my local store I think. Its inside a shopping center, so wont get wet.

hey v66jack, if you check out my link above, i also asked about pre orders and she said they would most likely not be shipping on the friday as couriers delivered iphone 4 too earlier too people (hence it being on a friday no deliveries at weekends which is a bit rubbish!)

going CG here. Looks like a 5pm launch, when are u guys expecting to arrive then?

 

[JSage]

Damn, I'm not going to be able to make a 5pm launch

Guess it'll be a case of waiting until 0001 on Friday morning to order one online.

Good luck to those of you that do go!
