I am getting mine at Target, since I work there. Get my 10% off, and luckily I am off Friday so I will be able to play with right away.

I wonder if you can combine your employee discount of 10% with the additional discount of 5% if you open up a credit card? That would be awesome to get a 15% discount on a newly released hot item.

My mom works at Target and she says she gets the 10% and the 5% using her Debit card.

Nice! You can't beat $75 off of a newly released item!

Yup at 5pm. SKUs are actually marked up to $10,000 so stores will not sell early. Shipments varybupon store/location.

Best Buy is my first choice, but there is Walmart, Target and Sam's Club all in the same mall where I will be, so I will be calling them throughout the day because I will be at the mall by 9 am.

Best buy has the best warranty for iPads around.

If you buy them at the apple store and get apple care, it covers everything but god, water, and gravity. Bb covers EVERYTHING.

I just sold mine yesterday and planned to buy online, but the withdrawal symptoms are already setting in. Would really like to get my hands on the new one Friday instead of next Tuesday or whenever an online order would arrive. I have a local WalMart but they have no idea if they will have any on hand (I called today). All other retail options are 3 hours away.

If anyone hears more about WalMart having them Friday, I'd love to know. Otherwise I'm debating treating myself to a day in the city!

Edit: never mind. I saw a lots of reports that WalMart is saying "no idea" or "not tomorrow" in other threads. So they are not an option Friday. Hmm, what else do I need in the big city to justify a trip - or do i just want to go to an Apple store on launch day for the cultural and social experience?? (having always ordered online before)

I have a 16g wifi one now. I want a white wifi one still not sure if I want the 16 or 32g one. I just seen you can order them at 3am est tomorrow night. I would rather buy it at best buy for the rewards points, but sounds like they may have limited white ones. Think there will be a long line still if you paid online and go to pick up at 5 at the apple store?

Sounds like he/she doesn't have a Best Buy nearby given the post said that other than Wal-mart "all other retail options are 3 hours away."

If he/she is going that far, might as well go to an Apple store since they'll have the most stock and best chance of getting the specific model he/she is after.
