Re: Raspberry Pi - a revolution?
 

Farnells gone into maintenance mode

I suppose I should have picked up the phone and ordered that way with RS

Re: Raspberry Pi - a revolution?
 

Off to work now and no where near being able to order one :(

Re: Raspberry Pi - a revolution?
 

Still getting the "register interest" screen on RS when you try to search for raspberry pi

What a you know what!!!

apparently that RS page was the wrong one, I never found a right one :(

farnell pre-orders only, I guess some lucky ppl got through and ordered up the initial allocations at both shops :( Oh well, just have to wait and get one with a case etc. Fingers crossed those that got them put them to good use, and they're not just used to run xbmc.

Re: Raspberry Pi - a revolution?
 

Word on twitter is that RS isn't taking order will the end of the week

Re: Raspberry Pi - a revolution?

Guy next to me at work ordered one from Farnel an hour or so ago, I just tried and site down again.

edit tried again, can pre-order at farnel, also coming soon, 2 bundles, one with sd card, another with sdcard and wireless mouse, no price though on those

Re: Raspberry Pi - a revolution?
 

Well that was a balls up. Don't know anybody who managed to get one from RS...Farnell's website was on it's knees by 06:01 so I don't know how people can say they managed to order one from them.

Re: Raspberry Pi - a revolution?
 

it (Farenell) was, but it was up and down all day, I saw his confirmation page, but when I tried I couldn't get to it :(

Re: Raspberry Pi - a revolution?
 

How long before we see them on Ebay at over inflated buy now prices :mad:

Re: Raspberry Pi - a revolution?
 

They already were on ebay today at £39, the picture though showed an alpha board and raspberry pi was looking at getting them removed as the picture especially was wrong and also copyrighted.
