Just wondering why people prefer to buy from an Apple store rather than Best Buy or another retailer. Doesn't Apple charge a restocking fee?
 
dammit. i just got back. the nice lady said that they have them in stock but they dont sell them till tomorrow, and the phone lady made a mistake and also told 5 other people the same thing.

im so effing pissed right now

Exactly why I prefer BB if I have a choice, except for those things that that for some reason they charge over retail for (like Airport Express).

That sucks. :(

And we all got our hopes up too, lol. Well, at least you know it'll be there for you to pick up tomorrow.

My thoughts exactly. :) One of the 300 stores that Apple so kindly built because it loves its customers so much may just slip and sell a couple. :)

Honestly, I don't think the iPods are like the iPhones in that they'll sell out immediately. The preorders didn't sell out and I doubt anyone's going to line up overnight. You'll get one, no worries. :)

Hahahah, you and I are in the same situation. I'm skipping out on my Macroeconomics class to shell out $300 on an expensive unneeded gadget. Irony, thy name is fwoppers. ;P

At least it's not "Consumerism in the 21st Century" or something. ;)

Thankfully, classes don't start for me until next week. Wohoo!

LOL, I hear ya! Gives us a week to play with the new iPods before school starts. xD
 
Just got back from BestBuy (Roanoke, VA) They have the shuffles in stock, they are getting the Touchs tomorrow and they were not sure about the Nanos.

I saw some unboxing vids for shuffles on youtube. It's a bit surprising that they didn't ship them all together.
 
apple store in roseville, ca just got them in today... not on display... forgot to ask if i can buy them also... haha
 
Domino Effect

It seems like the West Coast is getting them today. I hope the East Coast is able to display and sell them tomorrow. I would like an Incase Slider for protection. I have not seen a new case from them for the new iPod Touch.

That is funny I just called Roseville's apple store also without reading your post and they told me yes you can buy them now and no they don't have any on display. Unfortunately I ordered mine through Amazon so I have to wait. But yes they said you can buy them now.
