Hi Everyone,
I preordered mine just after 9:00 on 12/9 (after a very frustrating hour on hold on the phone I put mine through the internet). I've gone for the 128GB white/silver normal 6 to be delivered to store rather than my home address.
I got the 'Order Received' email at 9:11 and the 'Order Confirmed' email at 9:48 on the 12th.
It moved from stage 2 onto stage 3 sometime over night, I checked last night and it was on 2 and checked again this morning it was stage 3 so things are looking good for launch day!
Hopefully they'll start moving to stage 4 tomorrow or Thursday!
