I get stuff from there all the time. Sure, I can order online but some things you just need IMMEDIATELY and can't wait to get shipped. Like when I spilled water all over my G15 gaming keyboard and ruined it. Or a video game that I want right then and there instead of waiting.

Up to you. Can you wait that long?

Is the wait back down to 7 business days? Last I heard it was 10...

As for the wait, it's up to the person. Once I realized there weren't any in stock in Chicago, I placed my order and forgot about it until it got here. However, I'm an impulse roadtrip kind of guy, so if some store had said "We don't have any here, but there are some in Indianapolis..." I'd have had my shades on and my mp3 plugged in, ready to go.

When you think about how much you spend on an iPad, driving for three hours is not a big deal. To me, A five hour round trip is a nusciance that I make several times a month.

lol I have a 4 hour round trip commute I make everyday to go to work. Three hour round trip drive is nothing anymore.

Enjoy the trip on the road and enjoy your new iPad when you get home. :-)

I drove 4.5 hours round trip for mine. It was worth it!

Definitely go get it, call ahead and see if they'll hold one. It's easy for me to say that though as I normally have about that much of a trip for ANYTHING I can't get from Wal-Mart! Living in the country is wonderful.......except for the lack of shopping!

1st one I walked up to the Apple store on opening day right before closing and bought one. (stood in line 15 minutes)

2nd one I waited 8 working days because both local Apple stores were out


I won't drive more than 30 miles for any non-necessity that can be delivered.

No, do not drive 3 hours for an iPad!!!
Again, just in case you think I am being sarcastic or something...NO DO NOT DRIVE 3 BLOODY HOURS TO BUY AN iPAD! THAT IS RETARDED.
You are being impatient and you will regret it later.
Get one eventually, sure, but just pick one up sometime when you can get one close-by, or order one online. It's not THAT great.

The bandwagon MUST be getting full by now!

Ignore this person... he is a troll, just look at his other post..... sad really....

Holy $@&*, you are not kidding. If you ever want to get depressed, read this guys posts, he is truly a sad case and apparently is unhappy with life in general.
