Pre-order or pickup in store?

I don't see the point of pre-ordering, there's no price incentive, plus you don't get the Apple Store Experience.

I don't see the point in going to the nearest Apple store to get it when you could pre-order and have it shipped to you for free potentially even before the Apple store starts selling Leopard.

My copy says "Prepared for Shipment". I hope that means it will ship early and I will get it before the 26th! 🙂

I decided to pre-order because the nearest apple store is a pain to get to. If we had one in the local mall or somewhere closer I would go to the event though.

So is it true that they will be giving away like t-shirts or as one user said stuffed animals?? If they werre giving away stuffed animals i would suspect it to be a leopard right?? Has anybody confirmed what they will be giving way?? And Also how long you think the lines will be?? Was the lines long for the Tiger release??

MacRumors is reporting free t-shirts. I'm not sure if it is confirmed elsewhere. I'd imagine it to be crowded, but I doubt they'll sellout. It isn't the iPhone, it is an OS release. Also, a disk is far easier to reproduce than an iPhone.

Unfortunately can't take the day off from work to join the festivities at my local store, so I pre ordered.

it says free tshirts on apple's site.

yeah it'll be crowded, and hopefully they won't sell out.
