Mine too. I will be shocked to the core if FNAC manage to fulfil all the orders from their new found Irish customer base! We will live in hope though!

If they do we might actually forget about that cheatin bastard Henry.

My FNAC order still says "Order Preperation" in the account page and "Ordered" in the order summary page.

I ordered @ 8:14pm on Monday.

Was referring to most posts here.

Here is a post where I told you, yes you directly not to cancel a pre-order. Link

If you still think all my posts are trying to trick you into cancelling pre-orders then I don't know what else to say...

Argos is usually very good for customer service, i would say they will honor the reservations. Just call the store!

when people say they have no stock , do they mean they rang argos asking if they had any?

because all units have been reserved for days and once reserved they are no longer showing in stock

How am I angry and bitter? I have an amazon order for one pending, and relatives in san diego picked me up one to bring over when they visit in a fortnight. So im guaranteed one at least. Cmon, we know the ipad3 will be abut €600. Thats an incredible over pricing. You could get a good laptop for half that price.

The iPad 3 will probably be the same price as the iPad 2. Find me a better tablet with a lower RRP. There isn't one. For a tablet it's cheap, comparing it to a giant ugly laptop doesn't make any sense.

Ive never seen such hysteria running through a BA thread! Its like an electronic London riot....Surely when all this dies down there will be good few people who didnt really want the machine in first place but got swept away in the mania and also an ultracompetitive reseller market?

Anyways it's been a fantastically entertaining thread to follow, so thanks to all posters and good luck with your quest
