Leopard at Best Buy?

[Sam3]

Does anyone know if the Apple sections (stores?) at Best Buy will have Leopard tonight?

I have a $50 BB gift certificate that I want to use.

I wouldn't be surprised. I was in a Best Buy in Omaha and they had a pretty elaborate display set up with the different Macs and a large Apple backdrop. I didn't think it was something that was up all the time.

Call them and ask.

Did you go online to BB?

MicroCenter will have it @ 6pm so I would think BBs w/ Apple areas would have it too. Probably best to call the specific store...it is BB after all.

I was thinking of doing that. A call would save me dissapointment if they don't have it.

Online doesn't advertise it. They just have Tiger as a backorder (wonder why).

The Beastly Buys near me still has iPods mixed in with all the other MP3 players on the camera counter. Nothing else Apple. They still have (just) the same black one and a white one they've had there for at least two years, all scratched to hell. If you ask to see a new one they show you a picture. If you really insist they ask what color you want (you have to convince them you're gonna buy) and they send someone to go see if they have the color you say you want in the back somewhere.

[quote modelamac]Did you go online to BB? If you go that route, I would verify that a local B&M location has it in stock for pickup, and NOT order online for delivery.

Why, you ask? I ordered this online about a week and a half ago:

and this is what showed up at my doorstep yesterday:

Just be careful - who knows what you'll end up getting. Kinda like anticipating the contents of a Woot Bag 'O Crap - fun for some, but others don't like surprises.

Postscript: BestBuy said the only way for me to resolve this would be return the vacuum to a B&M store, have the order cancelled, and place a new order (to be done online - B&M stores can't handle placing a new order that originated online-which the store employee confirmed when I got there). They also said if I called customer service and complained enough, I MIGHT be able to get expedited shipping so I could actually get the right product sooner instead of in another week and a half. For some reason I can't quite place my finger on, I decided to place my new order elsewhere...

Good advice, SDGuy.

That really sucks!

Sorry....
