When I went into the Apple store not so long ago they gave me advice on what to do on release day. They said it would be helpful if i signed up on the personal shopping list on the day of the event. So on the 15th I will sign up for the 6Pm time slot, thus allowing me to get personal assitance while others wait in line when it is released. Go here to sign up. Only 14 days in advance. Hope that helps on launch day
