Let us know how it goes. I've ordered mine from Digicape this morning, but they have yet to contact me with stock and delivery times.
Digicape at the Wedge had stock this afternoon.

Was told by iStore Sandton that Family Pack only available "sometime" next week....
Thankfully I have someone that is bringing it from the US for me!

I picked up my copy from digicape @ the wedge this afternoon. There were about 15 left on display - not sure if there were any more left @ the back. There arent that many copies in S.A, so i would suggest u rush and get it.

Intersting! I went there after work and the shelf had one left until the guy brought a whole pile from the back room! I was in the shop for about 30 mins contemplating a MacBook pro and everyone who came in bought a copy of snow leopard! They must have sold 20 while I was there! Well, 21. My copy is on my desk hehe!
That is weird, cause when I got there I wondered if they were even open....The one guy even had to go call the sales guy from the back to come ring up my SL. I was there @ 4, dunno what time you went.
Anyway on the note of SL, the speed increase is instantly noticeable, mac seems to be running much smoother.

So to quell the rumors... can you do a clean install with the upgrade disc alone?
I read somewhere that you can.
Only people with first hand experience are allowed to comment
lol ok, then give me about 10 years before I need to reinstall OSX and then I will comment
Yes you can, SL is big enough to warrant a fresh installation. In the installer go to disk utilities and format the drive. It's been reported that some feature's are missing after the upgrade. i.e. Photobooth, Effect's second window does not have the new feature of customizing the effect if the system has been upgraded instead of re-installed from scratch.
