The Raspberry Pi now available over the counter!

I was in CPC on my way to work to get a new watch battery and what did I see on the counter? A sign saying that the Pi was now available to buy. I asked the guy serving me whether it was still pre-orders only, and he said no, it's now in stock to purchase.
If only it wasn't the school holidays! I think I'll pick one up at the end of the month though :)

Maplin also have their Raspberry Pi with starter kit out today, although that seems to be in stock at the end of September:

Raspberry Pi® Board and Starter Kit : Raspberry Pi : Maplin Electronics

That does come with a rather snazzy twin-USB port power adapter.

Brilliant!! I still havent received my pre-ordered one from RS !!! I could have just waited and got one from Maplins!

Edit : Just seen Maplins are taking pre-orders. Due in by end of Sept as @dhicks said. Although CPC site says its in stock with them.

Shame on you Chris - you could have been the first person in the world to buy one retail from a shop! :)
