@Ccomfo1: Bingo. It's funny because it was the Giz that pulled the dick move in the first place.

@Kynes: Too late now. That said I think walk ups and campers will be pleasantly surprised at the quantity available on the 24th. I'm betting a large chunk of what they had planned to presell went unsold due to the clusterfark. Those units will simply be pushd out to the stores.

I'm guessing that ATT will simply have more of their allotment for the 24th in stores for the campers and walk ups as a result of this. If they had slated x portion of their allotment for preorders there is no way they ran through them with their system so thoroughly farked. It's pretty clear that suspending preorders…

@icarus212001: What is.....friend?

@Sobersean: aka Doctor Aquafresh: And now for the rest of the story:

@jpflick: But then the system breaks down when the stores don't process the paper orders until AFTER the 4:30 cutoff for preorders to be delivered or picked up on June 24th. Sounds like you did what you were supposed to but some stores like mine just kept plugging away at the crowds and many preorders got left behind…

@tekdemon: What's wrong is most places didn't even start processing these paper orders until after 4:30 pm EST. So after the preorder cutoff for June 24th.

Oh and one more thing..........

This is breaking news from 2 weeks ago apparently.

Here's a pic from my cell phone. Nothing to worry about there.......

Stephen King invented this in the book "The Shining". There are scenes where Garden Topiaries (bush sculptures) come to life that are seen as stationary when you turn to look back.

@xsbs: Me too, my daughter was 2 in February and LOVES her some Sesame Street. The abbreviated buttons give me hope that these will be games she can play. She's all about her letters and numbers already so if well executed this could be super fun for her. Fingers crossed.

Anyone with a kid 2-4 years old gets this. Everyone else shut the hell up.

@HektikLyfe: Bigtime.

@comrade_leviathan: Exactly what did they "censor"? Oh that's right, nothing.

LOL. You guys crack me up. I'm definitely sensing an anti Apple shift of late, it's almost like you can't believe that they would hold a grudge. I'm betting they hold a grudge forever and pretty soon you'll be portraying Apple in the same manner as you currently do with Best Buy and Sony.

@Arc-: For your girlfriend.

@PatMan33: I disagree. If this annoys you then I believe you owe me five bucks which you obviously will be happy to pay.

Dude, you're set. Go immediately to the store and buy ALL the condoms. You are going to be needing them. Lucky little bastard.

@Orionsaint: Also this. I loved SSX up until World Tour and long for an HD Megatokyo!
