Best Buy has stopped living up to its name years ago.
The negative points you are receiving is silly. There's nothing wrong with what you posted.

Not for nothing apple, you should at least make the announcement by now; instead you make us wait and wait, we are all going crazy; just give in!! Please!!
When the new MacBook Pros came out in February, Best Buy had them one day after the Apple Store here.
Isn't that just a current gen version? Apple always calls it's current model new!

Well, in the interests of keeping our rumor obsession in check, I wonder about this:
These Lion promo materials were premature, yes. But do we know how premature? I mean, these little third party shops could have arbitrarily decided to try and build excitement 2 days in advance, or 3, for whatever reason- Apple catches wind of it, *bam* they're removed.
The Apple Conf. Call today and the hopes for launch tomorrow do make the 1-day prematurity plausible, but still, we're hoping it's only 1 day premature..

The store closes at 1800, (it's 1744 now) so I can only assume they don't run overnight changes like Apple stores. This is an official apple distributor though.
I don't know who you got those reports from but they are clearly not very knowledgable about Apple retail. They always stock various configs on release day for retail stores. Ultimate is part of that.
In terms of ordering online, it probably won't take any longer than the base model config. The only ones that are difficult is the odd configs, like with the current MBA that would be an 11.6 at 1.4ghz with 4GB. They basically expect most people who buy extra memory to buy the "ultimate" so they prepare more of those configs in advance.
The Independent is just regurgitating all the news from the blog sites! I bet the writer is on MacRumors now!

Why not just buy Lion when you receive your RAM? It will be right there in the App Store and won't sell out
"Apple was not available for comment at the time of writing."
Seriously? xD Are they ever?
I wonder how that conversation went.
"There are rumors on fanboy sites that Lion is coming out tommorow. Is this true?"
"No comments."

in this case "not available for comment" probably meant they didn't even try contacting them. this article is clearly just regurgitation.
Thats not apple like. The more you wait the more you want the product. Until you get fed up of waiting, and than you don't want it. But this is apple, EVERYONE wants their products.
Loving the build-up, the hype and the ridiculously annoying use of the word 'Roar'... I can't seem to stay away from these pages for any longer than about 10 minutes at a time since 1st July. Is this normal..?
Anyways, I'm a long time lurker and first time poster on here (Go easy).
Not entirely sure what else to say really other than that the vast majority of people who post here are completely mental. But sure that's what keeps me and others coming back I guess
Know-it-alls, hungry trolls and even our very own 'lemming like fan boys' live in relative peace, while giving this place a certain charm in comparison to most other forums I've ever visited.
Keep up the good work crazy people and here's hoping we get a fairly trouble free 10.7 launch whenever it may be!

Getting anything for free is always a bonus
but at the same time it's only £21.99, which in real money terms = a box of beer and a feed. I can handle that I think.That's $29 IF you're a student AND IF you have Windows Vista.
So no. Windows 7 is not $29. And even if it were, I wouldn't use it if they paid me $29.
