The new sku's that i meantioned last week are confirmed to be new macbook pro sku's. I called the main delivery warehouse platform and they confirmed the new sku's were indeed the new macbooks but he no stock (obviously) and had no due in date. There were 5 new sku's just to confirm. the guy also said that when new sku's appear on the system, they usually are released at the end of the month or the start of the new month. 
I just can't figure out what sick sense of pleasure giving false information to power hungry geeks waiting for the Force gives you.
I too did a stock check just recently for my local area and surprise surprise - out of stock for MBP 15" and 13".
Also, I checked PC World and Curry's and Curry's had none available for collection, only buy online and PC World shows some MBPs as unavailable and the 2 out of 3 that are available are only in stock to order online...
I know I may be sad for checking these stores, but I just cannot wait to rid myself of my Sony Vaio and finally get a MacBook Pro!!
I cant wait either. My old laptop got written off so i got the full value back on a gift card, also I have a 20% off voucher to use on the new macbook pro! wooohoooo! The joys of working at Comet!
Just that you were completely sure that the updates were gonna happen last week... What makes you sure that you're right this time?

Ohhhkay, so can you get us a picture please? Also, can you get details on which ones are getting updated, or rather which one is not?
I didnt say when the update was happening, if you read my post properly, u might understand
Take pictures of what? The sku's on the system? Its just 5 numbers saying mac jan10 in the decription.
You mean my wife?
That is one hot ass

Right. Well, it's true that you didn't say it this come this week, but posting right before this tuesday implies it.ajayvarma87 said:

New Mac section on comet.co.uk? Now I know it doesn't mention any new MacBook/Pros, but the fact that they have made these pages might suggest they are getting ready for the new ones?
Update

MC371
MC372

Sweet, thanks for the update!
What were the model numbers for the previous gen?
EDIT: If you get a picture of the numbers, it might even make front page news..
Yeah, this should be getting more attention [if it's true, of course]
Surely someone else worknig at a store selling Apple products can check their database for new SKU's too?
Weren't there 5 SKU's originally? did one disappear?
FYI on the 'model' numbers they seem awfully close to Apples 'codenames', i.e. my Aluminium Macbook has the codename M97, this can be found by entering your serial number into any of the 'when was it made' type websites.
There were 5 placeholder SKUs but one of them hasn't been updated with a model number. I'm bak at work on Monday, hopefully then I can check if anything has been updates further.
