New MBP Owners, Have You Put Your Snow Leopard Order Yet?

My items shipped this afternoon so I tried the link again and it worked. So for those of you who didn't have it add it to your cart, make sure your order has been shipped before trying.
This happened to me as well. Then I went back to the computer that I actually ordered the MBP from, and bingo it worked.
I was having the problem with the dates until last night. (I'm in the UK.)
However, after adding my MBP as a qualified system and clicking Continue, it resulted in an empty cart. There was a note saying to enable cookies, but they already were.
I turned off my banner blocker (Safari Block) and it worked. Maybe this will help someone else?

I am willing to bet some of the folks showing an empty cart and not being able to order the Snow Leopard upgrade online purchased their Macs through the Apple education website for their school. In fact I'd also be willing to bet that this upgrade pricing does not apply to those machines. It would be great if someone could prove this theory wrong ...
I had been trying to do it on my new macbook pro and kept getting an empty cart, but after I tried it on the same system upon which i originally placed the order it worked. Maybe it has something to do with cookies? And I did purchase my new one through the education store.
I was having the same problem. It wouldn't work on my mac with safari or firefox, or on a windows PC with firefox, but when I tried it with IE it worked perfectly. So I recommend trying to place the order with IE!
There was a cutoff date and it appears it only applies to systems purchased from Apple.
Cheers,
I finally got it to work, and I had seven copies of Snow Leapord in my cart!
They were all at the low price. Does that mean I could buy 100 of them and then sell for a profit come September?

Didn't even realise you could do this yet, until I saw this thread!
Thanks muchly.
Ordered mine for £7.95. Cheapest OS ever. I would have paid £129 for it though....shhhh, don't tell Apple.

yeah i think what happens is, everytime you try and the cart shows empty, its really adding 1 to your cart.....so you must've tried about 6 times!
i tried once and had 2 in my cart...
Where did you see that? I bought online on the 16th, but can't see the automatic enroll, or add an order
D'oh! Worked this time, with three copies in the basket now! 
Yup. Ordered two days ago. Looks like a very late September release for this based on the delivery date.
physical media gives you the disk so you can reinstall the os in the future if needed or do an erase and install when you get the disk, something that would be hard if the software is on the drive you are erasing
Yes!
This is what happened with me. Thanks for the idea. I used my old powerbook to buy it and it worked! It wouldn't work on my new macbook pro and I thought it was because I have the 3.06GHz processor, which I didn't see on the "qualifying products" list. But I got it.

Did not work for me, I purchase at the Regents Street Store on 16th June, and when I followed the link for purchases at stores, it said my machine didn't qualify!! I had to do the manual process which means sending the receipt and a proof of purchsae. It also asks for a completed order form, but I think this is a mistake.
