Been sitting here for past 30 minutes hitting F5 ... here and there getting "add to cart" screen only to then show an error. But FINALLY, it worked and it went through. Just got confirmation email!!!!
Order for 16GB version went through at 1:56pm EST.
Tried one last time...hit the refresh couple times, as soon as it appeared "in stock", added to my cart and paid in 3 clicks in less than 5 seconds. Order processed successfully and got the email confirmation in under 1 minutes. This was at 2.00pm ET
Purchased my 8GB @ 12:05 and just purchased my 16GB @ 2:03 EST.
Kept hitting F5 and Add to Cart would show. 6 times I did and my cart came up empty. On the 7th try I got in and clicked to place the order as quick as possible.
Now I can enjoy my 16G.
Hopefully Google will let me cancel the 8GB version.
I just logged into my laptop and refreshed, the 16gb had option to add to cart. refreshed again and it says coming soon. If I didn't get one yet, I would definitely keep trying.
People who got one from hitting refresh are correct, I just finished ordering mine and got an email. I tried that refresh trick and it works...even though I was going to wait till the end of the week to get it, now I will just get it in 2 days.
Well I've got my fingers crossed. I even wrote a greasemonkey script that refreshes every 1 second if the "Notify Me" button is on the page, and alerts me if it isn't. It's been running for a while, tho.
edit: I just modified it to automatically add to cart. Hopefully it works.
