Mac Mini Purchaser Receives Snow Leopard Restore Disc? Up-to-Date Orders "Prepared for Shipment"?

[MedHead]

Just ordered mine in Australia and it says Ships By: August 28th

Same in Ireland...

Anyone in Ireland with an expected delivery date?

Yes, Snow Leopard is out:

I noticed on the SL store page the "Refinements" category has the blue "Updated" tag and also says 7GB Free rather than 6GB. £25 feels a bit much considering it's only $29 in America, but I've ordered it anyway

That box looks photoshopped!!! FAKE!

 

[grapemac]

can anyone confirm/deny if it's eligible for the education discount?

 

[page3]

It's available for pre-order! Delivers Aug 28th!

Or in the UK "Ships by August 28th"

...I wonder when it will be delivered?

It is not eligible for employment discount. Just accessed it through the portal and it is still £25.

Uhm... ok, so no event? That's it?

Why would there be an event and what does that tell you ?

Is that a discount or not? I don't know what the full Euro price is.

Im wondering the same thing...

 

[JackieTreehorn]

Kaboom! Ordered!

Nope one price for all..

Doesn't look like it in the UK. Showing up as the full £25.00 in the HE store.

Will a Snow Leopard up-to-date disc install on any Mac or only the machine type (MacBook) that I entered in my application?

Quidco will save you a little bit (4%) from the UK store

Do we really need an Apple event for everything? Sometimes I wonder if you all would queue in if Steve were to have an event every time he pooped.

 

[P40L0]

Can I do a Clean-Install (formatting the Leopard partition before installing SL) with the Up-to-Date (9$) DVD or just upgrade?

In any case: Ordered...

It will work on any Mac, but don't forget Apple's motto: "Don't steal software" - if you want to put it on more than one Mac, you should really be getting the family pack...

To Apple Webmaster:

- Don't forget to update http://www.apple.com/macosx/, it's still "Coming September 2009" and the button is still "Notify me"
- Also the homepage is not announcing it either, wouldn't it be a good idea to announce it on the homepage?

Bad synchronization!

Ah! they are doing it now.. keep refreshing the page!

 

[bstamant]

it's official!

Aug 28 on Apple website now

£25 in the UK, $29 in the US.

£25 is $41.26.

Even with tax on the US price, this is a bit of a disparity...

$29 plus vat = £20.36


It's still good value though.

Yeah, I realise that but I have an iMac and a MacBook. It's good to know that, if I want to, I could just install it on the iMac and leave the MacBook on 10.5.8
