I just phoned JB Hi-Fi to find out whether they are taking pre-orders and they said they are "not allowed to". Perhaps this is standard practice for Apple product releases - I didn't know that. But now I understand why I have seen those guys on TV who sleep all night outside Apple stores when a new product is coming.
So, assuming there are no pre-orders and it's 'line up at the door' on 25 March, where would be the best place to get one i.e. anyone know who would be likely to have the most stock? (I live in Parnell and work in Auckland CBD.)
