[addieroxrev09]

[99smelliot]

@CodenameFaz  you mean a london bus? offcourse their there! its london!

[PrometheuzReturns]

[Marksy72]

@PrometheuzReturns Actually I went in store and we activated the iPad and it was scummy German :/ me at 3:20

[jimmyduckegg]

haha Postal Strikes, how very British. :D

[DieByTheDrop]

£500??? I would have took that... then again if i had £600 to spend on fancy laptop, then i wouldnt need the money...

[hristousa]

I want an iPad .. ;[

[IHAVE1ARM]

Stephen Fry is awesome

[WorthyFail]

Typical Apple user, to much money and stupid. (y)

[BigCowz]

that 17 yr old is probably gunna earn money from the credentials he got from being the first person to buy the ipad anyway so GG

[bigboss90411]

what a fucking idiot

[wwykm]

If only this was in Birmingham...

People go in store

Buy ipad

People go outside the store

GOODBYE IPAD.

[TheDarker00]

that's a really stupid kid, LOL.

[tommyboi9]

what was the point in not taking that money

he could of had the ipad plus the money they offered

its fucking daft

[RyanTL85]

I'd love to see a gang of muggers hanging around the corner. That 17 year old wouldn't have put up much of a fight.

[geebones]

no its not im in uk most people dont care

[MADMANx511]

FUCK OFF STUPID UFC:2010 GAMESTOP PRE-VIDEO AD!!! WWE PWNS UFC (but, they both suck).

I want an iPad, but not for the outrageous asking price.

[xEpiphoneSG]

awwh hell when i sat down my balls went up my anus

[RequxTv]

They're all so brainwashed i mean 500 quid common man not even 2000 pounds....hp has a tablet too they know, bloody iwankers

[GiftedKidd]

THE GUY IS A DUMBASS! WHO GIVES A DAMN IF YOU WAITED, COME BACK NEXT WEEK AND BUY 2 IPADS!

[klasbadboy]

Dude No1 is a fucking Idiot and I would kick him square in the nuts for not taking that money. I really can't believe that

[TheRyanQ]

500 pound for your place

no

why didnt he aske his freind to get 2 and share the money

[OMFGITZEDWIN]

that kiid is a cunt

[Niektendo]

"500 pounds for your place"

"no"

WTF, NO!?!?!

i would take the money and wait for that ipad for another day

come on for 500 pounds...

[FiredudeG]

great job wasting your money -_-

[shreddedbeats]

Fun fact:

Stephen Fry voices Reaver from Fable 2.

[Samage89]

Queueing hours for a device that can't even do flash, what a fucking rip off imo, I don't know of any major site that doesn't have flash on their frontpage or use it to navigate. fail apple yet the fanboys cometh.

[LeBearUK]

At 17 his parents are likely to have given him their hard earned cash and is why he probably didn't care about the money

[AKBeazBoi]

We British people are used to queuing. 16 hours is nothing compared to occasions such as new game console launches

[Xsoul2007]

steve jobs is swimming in a pool full of money by now lol.

[warkarma]

Sad people. I am talking about you "youtubers"

[Cap3650Dk]

Can you watch the world cup on the iPad? 

[chispot02]

you can tell that retarded kid regrets not taking the money in the end. dipshit

[tabutu1]

Who the fuck would queue like that? Get a fucking life FFS.

[GoodnightSeattle]

nice trying to to watch the world cup on it without Flash.

[Vilhelmha]

ipad

[fachun]

To get flash its easy just have to find one program mobile something and u can download it to ur ipad easy as that

[drftme]

what a looser, its an iPad....its a waste of money

[LazySmi]

isnt IGN American Based? how come uk presenters?

[samsaint11]

duh if hes in the queue that early willing to buy an ipad for the highest price at the time, money wont be an issue for him

[ZR0Ver2]

A touchscreen tablet "computer" that requires another computer for initial setup and support. I'd rather get a more powerful and more useful notebook for less and then drink the difference.

[117Chiefy]

LOL Stephen Fry had Torncity (RPG text based game) loaded up on that.

[kool4eva]

Fry clearly having a bad hair day there..

[ThePuccaboy]

thought the 1st guy in the line was abit thick. considering he could have got 500 quid and got the ipad a day or so late

[DontMoveItsBehindYou]

@ThePuccaboy He could of got two, and sold one on ebay for more money then he paid and kept doin it :P

[ThePuccaboy]

@DontMoveItsBehindYou he could have but hes dumb inni.

[suburbian18]

Perhaps waiting for the xbox or ps3 isnt as bad.

But to wait for a completely pointless device, and to queue, for that long.

When its on the internet!

Not my cup of tea

[TheRhythmRascal]

£500! Quel idiot!!....The ExoPC Slate could be an ipad beater

[EzioCreed50]

He basically could have got a free ipad... why not do that. That would be worth the queuing up .. i'm not one to hate but what a dick!

[123ghost321]

I am amazed at how stupid people are in this country. Why would you want to buy a device that is proprietary.

Just get a tablet pc and install a decent operating system like linux or bsd. At least then you have some control over that device.

[dannysmith15]

Seriously? Why the hell do people want ipads. Its just a massive ipod!!!! You cant do shit on it! No flash no nothing.

[HowdoIdothatonmypc]

hahaha stupid chav, take the quid

[ThePuccaboy]

@HowdoIdothatonmypc

lol wrong use of the word chav mate. hes no where near a chav

[HowdoIdothatonmypc]

@ThePuccaboy I just wanted to be english.. in dublin, we would just say wap. Bloody English

[lovedabud420]

ipod, iphone, itouch, ipad. What can we expect next?

icar maybe.

[macepayne]

This is so sad...

[Goremocker]

So...he didn't take the cash...or get the iPad?...what a moron...

[BrutalBassline]

One word to sum up him up, retard.

[ClonerBEAST111]

I read in The Sun that the guy got offered up to £2000 and he still declined! he must be mad

[JtodaRbludsimple]

@ClonerBEAST111 lol the sun is the biggest bag of bulshit

[TheLonelyImmortal]

Just use what you have until iPad becomes much cheaper. Never buy technology when it first comes out- you're essentially ripping yourself off.

[DontMoveItsBehindYou]

@TheLonelyImmortal Exactly im gettung an ipad next january maybe a bit earliew it will be about £100 + cheaper than now

[TheLonelyImmortal]

@DontMoveItsBehindYou Wow. Let me see *uses currency calculator* That's $144.575 less. Cool. I'm doing this same kind of thing with the latest video game consoles. They're way too expensive, even though Super Nintendo had great games that everyone can still play :D The highest system I have is Game Cube. I figure that when all of the glitches and other problems are fixed, and the system hits $100 (69.168 pounds) or below, I'll buy. But there's no point in buying before. It's just impatience.

[chrispatyna]

@TheLonelyImmortal agreed

[AidenJSS]

I think Stephen Fry is a legend :)

[hutjim58]

Sad Cnuts,get a life

[cesarneri3]

guys, open your eyes, there are a lot out there much better than the Ipad

[ButcherWing369]

What a bunch of twats

[Ackers24]

what a fucking idiot for not taking the £500

[DannyC440]

What is wrong with these people?! I ordered mine online and I get it a day before launch, lol I was on mine at home while they were freezing their balls off waiting a day in a queue, I'm on it now :)

[THEDEMONKILLER2000]

IF HE GOT THE MONEY HE WOULD STIL GET THE STUP IT HING.

[chrispatyna]

Great guy! For some people money is NOT the whole world...the principles are.

[watercolour]

@chrispatyna

ya, but his principle is likely to be something temporary and not something sustainable, and emotionally charged. Coz u can easily obtain techologlogy products like this few days later. 5 years later if he look back, that few days won't make a difference. iPad will still get obsolute like that digital camera I bought in 1998.

[chrispatyna]

@watercolour I disagree. Temporary is his lust for this particular technology but principles are held forever. He didn't accept the money now, he won't accept them tomorrow. Yes, he could have gotten the ipad a day later but how do you translate all those feelings of excitement into extra 100.00?

[watercolour]

@chrispatyna

I sure at some point of his life he will choose to provide something for others in exchange for money. It could be a spot in a queue, a consultation service he provide, or an invention he made, etc So I think it is very much mistaken to say he refused to give up the spot base on principle, coz u need to be consistent with a principle to call it a principle. U can't assume he won't accept money and the next day he accepts salary from his employer.

[watercolour]

@chrispatyna

so that leaves personal desire as the reason for rejecting the offer. As I said, those desires are exactly what companies wants from consumers, & it won't last.

Would u think someone who spent 3 days queuing for a USB mouse in 1998 is still excited today?

Also, he was offered £500, not $100.00. You can get an iPad with £500, he could have bought a 2nd iPad & give it to his friend so other could share the joy.

[chrispatyna]

@watercolour i only pointed at the EXTRA 100 pounds (sorry, sterling sign doesn't come up) in addition to ipad price -400. Never said anything about dollars?

I think you are missing a point here...Never mind about the money. The feelings of excitement are much more of a value... and, so what they are induced by the companies? We live in material world fueled by desires. The guy simply chose to do what he wanted. Let's all let him be. He is happy with his choice.

[flappospammo]

being a smug macuser for over 20 years i think it's bloody wonderful

[dragnoz]

there was no queues at curry's digital, walked in at 9am and was back at work 9.30

[18kitkats]

@dragnoz LOL :)

[kahuna3901]

im going tomorrow if the store is open. there better be some wifi ones in stock. ive heard 3g is in more demand

[Hashkid420]

gayass fanboy :L:L

[KungFuMil]

haha, black guy negro probably stole it and was planning on selling it.

[Gauravkoolwal]

@KungFuMil u r a fucking evil retard

[invnter]

hanvon tocuhpad better than ipad

[Qabz]

This is what I call a sheep mentality and brainwashing at its best. 7 people lined up in Romford PC world. Hold on Apple Fanboys and girls, Apple is next releasing apple underpants with a slot to insert an Ipad..

[tanyuj]

4:29 evil remarks...haha! cant say i would had those thoughts too!

[Danny77uk]

"Shoes"

Hahahahha

[johnny15783]

Got one, dont bother till next one comes out.....very over rated

[superpoopotion]

That kid should be stabbed.

[PatriotIzzy]

@superpoopotion Yup, what a fucking dumbass. I would have accepted the 500 and waited a few days to buy myself the best version.

[james21731]

Seriously, what sort of git wants an i-anything?

[Stoked1994]

@james21731 me

[travisb6464]

This is like a psychosis for christ's sake. I mean I cant really say jack because I bought one the day after it came out, but I didnt like wake up early or camp out for 20 hours just to get one. I just turned up and was like if u got one great, if u havent i will wait. I mean ppl are dieing in Africa cos theres no water. It wont kill you if u cant afford an ipad or whatever gadget it is. Its a great device but I WONT DIE WITHOUT IT. The first guy to get it is a complete idiot. I mean £500! WTF

[OurYouthAreChanged]

Oh dear he turned down 500 pounds I truly would like to stuff that microphone up his bottom!

[marcusnns]

It's too cheap for me. I just want expensive stuff if it's from Apple.

[nathanaellogan]

what a mong

[LurkingCrassZero]

Stephen Fry, what a sellout prick.

[sigrino]

@LurkingCrassZero yep, I wouldnt be surprised if he said it helped him to loose the weight XD

[MrPointyarrow]

what a pillock. take the £500 and get an ipad later

[warrenlaidler]

@MrPointyarrow He'd been waiting 24 hours. You, that's only £20 an hour for his time so hardly worth it.

[HyperbirdF6]

@MrPointyarrow

it costs £500 anyway....the only difference is that he would get it later

[the999zombie]

stupid fucking lowlifes 500 quid is better than that shitty ipad

[cantcount0]

Mush!! this geezer is of his nut to not accept all that dosh!!

[Ericry]

Haha, here in Brazil, it's difficult to happen. Here, the 32gb version costs about U$900 and 64gb costs about U$1200!

[Mart92uk]

wow i could have punched that kid who turned down £500 in the face, i mean he could have come back the next day and practically got one for free!

[DiogoE6]

low lifes

[vbhalo]

lol stephen fry FTW

[GofreMcNoodle]

Turned down £500 just so he could be the first kid to get one from that store? Moron.

[bluedooke]

500 pounds and turned it down just because he wants it as soon as possible, idiot

[0Genus0]

iPad's may be in shortage, but backstock of disappointment is through the roof.

[techgnawed]

No doubt about it, Apple are the masters of hype.

[Morphi94]

why dont they just buy it from the internet? o.O

[lukewazea2k7]

what the fuck, 500

these geeza is off his head the muppet

[ozzehz]

Sad.

[Tramain1987]

look at these donkeys

[Marksy72]

@Tramain1987 Aww cant you afford one?

[Tramain1987]

@Marksy72 a larger ipod touch? are u kidding me. apple cud churn out shit on a stick n ud b first in line.

[SkepticsClaw]

Apple really is a cult. At this point I genuinely think people would buy a turd if it had an Apple logo stamped on it.

[benebrius]

Man that's some sad shit.

[imbsuk]

What a sad bunch of materialists!

[durbansouthafrica]

This makes me ashamed to be human.

[drummerdickens]

If you buy an iPad then you ARE a dick. THEY DON'T DO ANYTHING THAT A LAPTOP DOES AND THEY GIVE YOU NECK CRAMP!

My Christ...

[bazman09]

lol steven fry is a confessed shopaholic

[pcgamerslave]

What a tool, sell your place.... come back for one later, never sold out anywhere.

[manikth2]

Bunch of idiots, they would buy anything apple pumps out at ridiculous prices.

[munib1000]

fucking hate apple fan boys

[Danny77uk]

@munib1000 Awwww jealous that our products are so cool?

Let me call the wah-bulance!

[munib1000]

@Danny77uk OK I think I have found the ultimate apple fan boy

no your products aren't cool there quite impractical when you start to use them

I would know becuase I USED to own an apple air book

[Reqrezentin]

500 POUNDS FAAAG!

[EntertainedByPrem]

Good ol' Mr Fry

[Ghostneo]

If people do not like the iPad or Apple, why have you watched this video, why did you go out of your way to comment and diss it.

It is just telling us all you want one so bad but can't be bothered getting up off your ass to get a job and earn some money to buy one.

Bunch of chavs

[ItHappens117]

[Loti310]

[Marksy72]

[CARBRINE]
