Walmart to Offer New iPad Beginning at 12:01 AM Local Time
As noted by Insanely Great Mac, Walmart has issued a statement announcing that it will be offering a "limited supply" of the new iPad beginning at 12:01 AM local time at its 24-hour stores in the United States. Walmart's sales will start eight hours before Apple's own retail stores open for business Friday morning.
Several retailers in Australia also offered midnight sales of the new iPad, meaning that some customers have already been able to purchase the device. The teardown experts at iFixit were first in line at a Telstra store in Melbourne and have been dissected an LTE iPad over the past several hours.
If you want to be the first person amongst your friends and colleagues to have the new iPad, you will need to head to your local Walmart. Starting at 12:01 a.m. local time on March 16, a limited supply of the new iPad will be available at your local 24-hour Walmart. Other retailers’ doors don’t open until 8 a.m. local time, so you can get to work on time and beat the rush by coming to Walmart.

One of the most fun games to play at Wal-Mart is to count the people who aren't wearing shoes.
I think I'll wait a little longer after midnight.
So you're that creepy guy standing next to the women's underwear staring at people.

Thinking of going to Walmart at Midnight, grab a new iPad, then take it over to the Apple store to brag to everybody waiting in line. HAHA -- I have mine already, and it's not even 8am!!
"See? Retina Display..." I can just imagine the gasps, jealousy, and utter salivating of the iCampers.

I wonder if this is sanctioned by Apple. It doesn't sound like the sort of thing that Apple would allow.
Well technically it will be March 16th at 12:00 am. :)

Don't forget either that Best Buy charges $.99 above anything Apple sells. I know that is a small amount, but it is like they do this on purpose "just because they can"
iPads are $499.00 etc. BB it is $499.99.
Can I ask for a price match? :cool:
