I wonder if we can order it online through Best Buy Friday morning, select "In-Store Pickup" and be assured it will be available at 5:00 PM for pickup. Anyone heard anything on this? I've searched all over and can't find any information. I'm willing to wait in line, but I'm not waiting in line if I'm not guaranteed the model I want with the case I want is in stock.
For me, part of the overall experience of getting a new Apple product is going to the Apple store on Launch Day. I get a big kick out of hanging out in line, chatting with the people on either side of me, feeling the excitement building..... It's particularly cool when the store employees remove the black drapes that have been over the windows and we all get our first look at whatever the new product is. Usually there's a collective "WOW!" as we all gaze at the shiny thing(s) now on display. Next best part is when the store employees all come out, clapping, hooting and cheering, and parade around the line and the mall -- how can anyone not feel the excitement by then? A moment or two of suspense as the store employees go back into the store and position themselves in a sort of "receiving line," then the doors are open and the line begins to move as at last, those who have been waiting so patiently in line can enter the store, high-fiving it all the way with the store employees..... Then comes the moment when one actually can see and touch the new product, marvel at it for a moment or two before announcing to the helpful employee which version, capacity, or color one wants.....
Snap up accessories, hand over the credit card and the new product is at last launched into your eager hands, ready to go home with you.......
Online for me as well. I refuse to wait in line for anything.
I'm going to be getting a 3G 64GB so I doubt I'll have issues. I'm going to show up at 3:30-4 at an Apple store. If that doesn't work there is a BestBuy across the street.

Online. Discover Card has 5% discount on Apple store purchases. Since I'm in California, I see only 3% over sell price that has to go to the new governator.
Guess again, ipad and ipad 2 are excluded from 5% offer...
