    Should prob change this to a queue status thread etc?


  • Registered Users Posts: 322 ✭✭SilverSparkle


    Going to queue at Liffey valley in the morning!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,579 ✭✭✭prettyboy81


    Hard to imagine there will be a need to queue unless people just want to be there for when the store opens & get their iPad early. Sounds like there is no stock shortages for this iPad launch....

    Was thinking about queuing myself. what time are people gonna head along at. I don't want to get up to early :-(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 122 ✭✭Gotfoodforphil


    I just walked by compub on grafton street and there's no one there so at least no one's going mad this year!

    I'm gonna get up at maybe 7 to head on for it

    Outside CompuB now ... I'm maybe 30th in a queue of 40.

    HMV f*cked me over. Reserved one of theirs in HMV yesterday to allegedly pick up this morning (early opening 8am) and this morning found signs on their windows saying "Reserve you new iPad for Monday!" They weren't even open for me to bitch at them...

    Anyhow, here's hoping CompuB have the goodies.

    Saw the queue at Compub. Walked down to Arnotts. Picked up a lovely new shiny iPad and walked back past the Compub queue, with bag in hand.. They seemed to have more than enough stock down there..

    Go you.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 559 ✭✭✭danger mouse


    Got one at pc world in Naas this morning. The very nice staff let me in early I was home and all before 7am ;-)


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 25,558 Mod ✭✭✭✭Dades


    We're in the store here now. Bit of a pain they didn't open earlier. None of the staff too worried about a riot. They must have plenty!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,034 ✭✭✭mad muffin


    None to be had in Laois. :(

    Ordered online from App in the end.

    Well I got my black wifi. :)

    They'd started to run out of a few models in CompuB and some disgruntled people were leaving the queue of about 30 behind me.

    Worth the hour or so in the queue to have it for the weekend!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,006 ✭✭✭xabi


    No 32GB wifi only to be had anywhere in Cork it seems, tried, PC World, Currys, CompuB and Harveys - nothing. Did i miss anyone that stocks them?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,473 ✭✭✭decies


    Got my 16 gb black, store opened at 9 in pc world Waterford , about 7 in the queue lol, am syncing apps it's very slow doing that !!!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 65 ✭✭mariotr87


    I was this morning in compub (limerick) queuing for a few minutes, just to find out that they didn't have any 64 wifi only and only two 32 wifi only. Due to my position in the queue I couldn't have got that one either so I just had to give up :D
    Ordering 64GB, wifi only, black now online. At least I can choose what I want...I'll cancel if I find one of these tomorrow, but I don't think I will.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 484 ✭✭bcirl03


    Got two 16gb wifi in PC World Jervis street about an hour ago.

    No shortage of stock what so ever.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,245 ✭✭✭ADSLUSER
