Got the confirmation email at £265 but tempted to ring up and ask if they'll honour it as would rather know today if they won't so I can collect my Argos reservation

Yeah, think it's safe to say it was more glitch than offer. I'm still going to argue the toss with them, as it's their fault - might at least try to get a voucher out of it for the inconvenience.

I'm kind of hoping that so few people will have caught it that it will just slip through the net.

EDIT

Ohhh, and someone just let the cat out of the bag on twitter...

hahaha .... just stay quiet and hope you will be the CHOSEN one :D:D:D:D

That WAS the plan, apparently those of us who did that will be getting a phone call from them... Ominous, I must say.

I am in exactly the same situation! I guess the good thing for me is that I'm at work all day and then out all night tonight so I can wait until tomorrow to see what happens, as I won't get to use an iPad if I get it today.

Yes..that was me..how did i let the cat out of the bag? Its an obvious mistake..your only chance of getting it was if they decided to honour it or not..things like that arent swept under the carpet.

Besides..they've taken the money from my account and i want to know when im getting it back.

oh oh. In a way I'd rather know today though. I'll await a call

I've asked too. All they keep saying to people is "you'll get a call from us". Does that mean it's a call to say you can't have it at that price?
 
Picked up mine at Waitrose Canary Wharf in less than 60 seconds, plenty of stock and no queue.

It's Currys - I was kind of hoping for their innate incompetence to carry us through this one... Ah well, they've obviously not decided yet if they're still not ringing/are still 'working out the details'.

Yeah, that could be an issue I guess. I'll be sure to point out to them that FPS ensures payments reach the recipient within two hours!

I shall post an update as/when they get in touch with me.
 
Latest tweet from Currys re. the £265

Morning, you'll get a call about this from our contact centre about this, or you can call us 08445611234

That'll be a no then...
 
Newtownbreda told me that. I rang Bentrim just to make sure and they didn't have any either. Not sure about Carrick but the girl said no Tesco in NI had them yet. :(
 
Just back from Covent Garden. Tonnes of stock, and when I left only about 40 people in the queue. You could probably go at any point today and get whichever one you wanted.
 
Got mine at Argos, 5 minutes and was in and out. £20 voucher to be used when they get some smart covers in. Which you would have thought they'd have got them at the same time as the iPads.
 
I've reserved a 32Gb Space Grey at my local Argos. Will be collecting later and ensuring I get my £20 of vouchers too.

Nowhere seems to have the Smart Cases/Covers in stock now (other than buying from Apple with 1-3 days despatch).

Would be good to know the weight difference between the Smart Cover and Smart Case - I read a couple of reviews saying the latter makes the Air noticeably heavier.
