Or do you have to reserve online? Meaning if I go to the store will they say "no" if I ask to purchase one?
They wont turn you away, but I'd bet my left nut that you wont find an Apple retail store with non-reserved stock. I've been trying to reserve one online for three days now, and either the website is lying to me, or every single model is sold out across the province.
No, you have to check after 9pm. I think that's when the stock is accurate maybe.
I've tried at 9pm, 9:30pm, 10pm, etc. Trust me, the f-in thing doesn't work.
If it's not working for you, maybe it's a conspiracy. They may want to sell the ones in stock to you. Usually they're the ones that are more expensive.
Same thing that I have been experiencing with the stores in Ontario on Canada on the Apple reservation system. I tried all three nights at 9pm sharp, any time after 9pm or even before 9pm (say 8:50pm). The process stucked in various pages. At times, I get a blank pull-down menus which fix or not fix themselves after reloading. Or a page where all there are icons for all Apple products categories that are unavailable in red. Or a page where it says the site is down. Or a page which says "Safari cannot load the page" due to server reset. Not to mention the "session time out" page.I've tried at 9pm, 9:30pm, 10pm, etc. Trust me, the f-in thing doesn't work.
I managed to make a reservation online earlier tonight. I hope they don't pull the same crap done to the poor poster above me.
