I got all the way to the accessories page the first time before it broke! Gutted! Supposed to be meeting some friends for a drink too.. not sure whether too admit I'm late as I was refreshing a website constantly! Just suspect by the time I get back, they'll be out.

Inclined to agree. Doubting this was a publicity stunt now, definitely a massive cock up by apple.
