Uk pre order deal now open

[Dinesh]

Oops, i m sorry i was wrong.

 

[garbanzo]

well i don't see Home Premium listed at Amazon any more, so i just ordered it from the Microsoft Store. they have a download delivery option which suits me fine, since i'll already have it installed when my serial arrives

 

[ukgovsucks]

Sorted.
Just ordered my two copies from Comet here in the UK.
2 x Windows 7 Home Premium = £89.98 inc delivery.

I told my Dad about an hour ago about the pre-order price etc, and even though he is a tight git, he ordered one before I got mine!! Shocked me big time. Very unlike him. Mind you, at £44.99 each it's a steal!

Note to Brink:

See mate. I may have mentioned that naughty 'activation' issue before that caused an infraction on here, but as promised, I had every intention of purchasing this super OS when it became available. I would NEVER run pirated software. Not worth it.

Can't wait until October 26th now. (My delivery date) Roll on!

Thank you Microsoft for offering all of us this opportunity.

Microsoft have really pulled their finger out for this one, they've actually listened to their users.

Soon as I run into some cash, Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium is getting ordered from Comet

 

[ukgovsucks]

You know, I've just thought. I assume that the Home Premium Editions that I have just ordered give me the option of x64 or x86 to install?

S**t! lol.

Gotta have x64 version.

Yep, they include both.

Yep, they include both.

Phew! That was close. lol.
Felt a prat for a moment there. I got too excited seeing it for that price that all my senses went right out of the window! I'm a bloody geek sometimes.


Cheers mate!

Is it me or has the price gone up?

 

[Frostbite]

Yes I saw that, abit checky but I did see some still at £49.99

Looks like some of the vendors have run out of their allocated presale quantitiesa and have switched into offering thew standard cost (or minimal saving at any rate) instead.

In noticed this on amazon this morning, now 180 quid for pro, yesterday 90. Uplift on ebuyer also. Shop around tho. I noticed PC world and staples to name but 2 are still offering at the original presale price i.e. around the 90 quid mark (or 45 for Home Prem).

Looks like this bad boy is selling like hot cakes

 

[ardandy]

Quite a few are still taking it at a lower price but ebuyer/amazon appear to have upped theres!

Apparently Win7 outsold in the first 8 hours for preorders more copies than Vista did in its entire 17 weeks!

Do I still need one per PC or did I hear that you can install it in more than one?

that's the problem, everybody has already sold their allotment. though i'm not sure how the Microsoft store could have possibly run out

 

[ardandy]

Family Pack? Anyone heard of it?

 

[Wayner]

I have read of this, but i don't think it applies to the preorder.

In other words there may well be one in October or therafter, but you wont benefit the pre order prices.

If you want to take the gamble that the family pack will be cheaper than ordering say 3 copies of the preorder price then it's a risk to take. But you wont know until later - most likely after preorder sales are long gone.

The leaked pricing for the family pack is exactly the same as ordering 3 copies at the pre-order price, Of course leaked is not official.
