I doubt Apple would ship any product to it's own stores and expect them to keep them quiet until March 23rd let alone Best Buy. If anything, Best Buy gets it's new model Apple products after they've been announced and delivered in Apple's own stores.
Got a tip for us?

Maybe they're the updated Mac Minis with HDMI:

Or let's hope they're new MBPs.
I could care less about the iPad.
+1, Good point. If apple want to sell more of their product they have to leak some info/rumors about it
The Wait continues
OP, get somebody at that bestbuy to xray the box. the label never said anything about xrays! Y ou don't have to open it to see what is inside. heheh!
Wonder what they could be then...so exciting
I responded to your first post. Ignore this.
FCC or not FCC, but door with a sign DO NOT ENTER (until March 23rd) is much more attractive than a simple door.
No matter what is inside the Black box, they do want it to make some fuss. There is no other reason to ship something so early (3 weeks left) to BB.
I concur on the merchandising part. It wouldn't be strange for signage and documentation to be sent early, as it wouldn't be a big deal if someone broke the seal early.
That was my thought too - could be stuff related to iPad, like displays etc to coincide with online ordering. Of course, could also be the same for MBPs, but with the iPad launch announced in that time frame, you gotta go with iPad.
That's right. Now everybody is quite excited and will wait for March 23rd. This is called controlled leak and Apple is quite famous of using it. It basically makes free and very effective advertisement campaign.
In my opinion, all references to MBP update so far have been either fake, or seeded by Apple themselves. Actually, this must be true for most of all "leaks"

What if it's the iPad...but it turns out the iPad has a camera, but uses film! The xray ruins the film, and everybody gets in trouble. Not worth the risk imo.
This. It's too risky to have a shipment like that lying around for three weeks, especially at a third party store.
Seems as though a roll of film would be to thick to fit into the iPad's chassis. Better stick to more "traditional" methods...
