[QUOTE=sam2d2;31895719]After about 5 minutes of loading it says DISCONTINUED on both sites
I'm gonna check out a Comet and a Currys store on the way home that is pretty much in the middle of nowhere, the PC World I got someone to go to this morning was right in the middle of Birmingham and that was sold out or reserved with 5-10 minutes. I'm hoping country folk didn't buy them all.[/QUOTE]
Wow, that was quick then. They're sold out in EVERY retail store here in norwich..

They are selling out very quick, apparently the Dixon's group only had 300 in their central warehouse when they dropped the price last night.
BestBuy sold out as I reloaded the page.
Try the Carphone warehouse if anyone is still looking for one, they are saying that they are in stock if you order it over the phone. Their website got absolutely raped last night, to the point where confirmation emails took 4 hours to arrive.

Damn they lie, they could have put it on the Touchpad page where it says to phone.
[QUOTE=usaokay;31897724]God damn you, Barnes & Noble.[/QUOTE]They've cancelled every order, no one on slickdeals or here has gotten anything from Barnes & Noble.
Ordered one form Insight. Their stock availability is adjusting. At the time of this post they got 216 in stock.

Stock adjusted to 201 pieces left.
Word on the street is Comet is sold out right now BUT they have stock incoming, and if you ask nicely in a store they can accept advanced payment and hold onto a touchpad for you to collect when the stock arrives.
Thats what i've seen on twitter so make of it what you will. Worth a try anyway.
Pleeeaaaase dispatch mine amazon.
[QUOTE=Starpluck;31897936]Ordered one form Insight. Their stock availability seems to have been adjusting, it went back up to 250 half an hour ago. At the time of this post they got 216 in stock.

God damn. Got on a plane yesterday and the sales hit and closed in the UK while I was in the air :(
I'm in the US now and have found a couple places on-line, unfortunately they all want a US billing address which I don't have.
Hey UK people, Comet will be getting new Touchpads on the 5th September. Apparantly there will be roughly 30 per store although they didn't know the 16gb to 32gb ratio.
Guy who works with me finished early stopped off at Comet and asked them so seems legit. Although the asshole ordered 5 for himself.
YES
INSIGHT
CONFIRMED
PLEASE SHIP OH PLEASE

If I went to Comet and asked for them to reserve one for me, do you recon they would?

Might ask someone at home to do this for me.
The people who piss me off are the people who order like 50 of them and then resell them for 200% markup on ebay and other sites, fuck them, I just want a fucking cheap tablet
I hope my insight order goes through

I'm going to try on the way home so i'll be able to give you an answer in like an hour and a half
It shows this but I can't contact Insight as they are closed

Insight $100 16 GB is officially OOS as of now.

I phoned up Comet, and asked if they could put a reserve on for me. They kept saying they were out of stock, to which I replied about the shipment on the 5th. Apparently they have no knowledge, and as far as they are concerned its a discontinued item and said they would not be able to give me a notification if any more were to come in.
The site is going insanely slow now too.

Did you phone a store or just a Comet hotline or something?
I'm finishing work and going to a store now anyway so i'll see how that turns out.

Phoned up a store rather than the hotline.
