Based on the number of people wanting MBP's, Murphy dictates it's a statistical impossibility it'll be released tomorrow.

New MacBook Pro's Appearing in Retail Inventory?

i am still hoping for tomorrow just because i really need this laptop. the 10.5.2 update is the one that developers have had since last week which means that they would have had time to preload the new MBP's and test them, hopefully.
They could give me the MacBook Pro with 10.5.1 for all I care, as long as they come out.
I have my doubts about tomorrow though.
That's assuming that when they released the last developers version of 10.5.2, they were confident enough in it to install it on the new MBP's without feedback from the developers. Why would they release it to just developers if they were confident enough in it to install on a batch of new machines? Just to get a headstart on the bugs?
That might very well be true, and I'm hoping it is as I'm sitting on my hands patiently waiting to upgrade my Powerbook G4, 1.67 to a new MacBook Pro, and the minute I just say screw it and buy a current one is the day before they release the new ones. We'll see.
Because 10.5.2 had the resources that specify three new laptop models. 10.5.1 doesn't have this. Therefore its logical to assume 10.5.2 is required for these new MBPs. If we look to the past, when an OSX states new machines, after the arrival of the OSX point release, sure enough, those machines have soon followed.
So can you take one for the team and order one today?
.I wish they would just release the damn thing soon, all this waiting is getting out of control.
If tomorrow... then when?!
So if tomorrow is the day, historically speaking when will the store go down? Tonight at midnight california time? Tomorrow morning at 9 am? After some sort of announcement? At what point during the day do we say "oh well, I guess not today..."

The US and Canadian's Stores are on the same server... The others are in differents servers....
Which leads me to believe this is something small or "contents" crap. Something iTMS-related not going to go international for a year or two.
I think you're thinking of the store going down whenever there's something like the MWSF. In that case, you're right (I'm in Denmark).
I hear ya! I NEED the new MBP (will be my first) but no matter how much I need it... I'm fluent with Murphey's Laws and know that if I do, my situation will be as you described.
If it can go wrong, it already has gone wrong. Not only will you be the last to know about it, you will also be expected to fix it.
Of course, my favorite:
"Murphy was an optimist."
The pink iPod nano, the upgraded iPhone and the upgraded iPod touch were found in the German store hours later and and the store hasn't been down. Just the US Store was down. So I suggest, if there will be a new MBP, the other stores will get it, too. So don't worry and hope for a new MBP in the US Store!
Damn it, Aparture 2 came out but no new MBP
Yup, and the trial-download is 1.5.6, so we cannot even see if it's better than the previous.
