if it did its not completely on their servers i just looked a little bit ago and its not there
Yea, it's not coming out wednesday. It'll come out Thursday, July 14. A day after I'm leaving
GREAT. (i'm not taking my mbp with me
) Just my luck.
Hopefully it comes out wednesday at 12 AM PT so I can download it and have it ready for when I come back, but I'm highly doubting that.

You're better off waiting - let a few days go by so you can see what issues come up.
Why do they need an overnighter for Lion, when you can't buy it in any Apple store, only in the Mac App Store online?
new hardware. upgrading the demo models, briefing staff and putting up promo stuff.
I was under the impression that Lion was going to be a download only purchase. There's no cd to buy, so what would you buy in the actual store? A download code maybe? So why have a midnight session for sales of an item which is not tangible in the first place unless they're releasing something in addition to Lion?
Thought?
How do you know Lion won't come out tomorrow on the MAS and the overnight is for new MBAs/MPs...
Just sayin'.

Because Apple is holding back hardware until Lion is released.

It's not a midnight sales session. Apple often schedule their retail store staff to work over night the day before a big release so they can get everything ready in the stores. In this case it is probably promo material for Lion as well as upgrading the demo machines to Lion. They also have to be briefed about the new release.
I wish people would stop posting stuff like this as though they know straight from a viable source that Lion is coming out.
If you're going to do so much as tell us the date then quote your bloody source.
Idiot.

Obviously he hasnt been an Apple fan for very long- Tuesday or Thursday, get it right!
Lets hope that he/she is an insider and can not revel his source without being fired or getting in trouble. With today's App Store issues there is a good chance that he/she might be right.
You know what, you could be right about this. The App Store hadn't gone down when I posted that so fingers and toes crossed...
Well i for one am hoping it will take some time before they release it; end of july perhaps so they have time for a GM2 or just release an updated lion different from the current GM.
Right now performance is so sluggish and bugs are so prominent that i won't be upgrading if retail = gm (and i'm not talking about the new features here or if they are any good, just the fact that GM feels more like a beta release rather then a GM).
