Well, I just bought my Mac, so I guess I missed this by a brief second. Thanks, Steve, my overlord :)
Leopard arrives Friday, October 26.
The world premiere of Leopard, the biggest upgrade to Mac OS X, is October 26. And on that big day, the Apple Retail Store is the place to be. Join us from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. and be the first to experience the world's most advanced operating system. And if you're one of the first 500 guests, you'll go home with a special edition Leopard T-shirt. See you there.
Besides the Apple Store in Pioneer Place Mall, there is the Macforce–which is where I bought my Macbook.

If you bought your new mac after october 1st you can get the new system for only the cost of shipping.
Nice!
I bought it the first week of October, so that is good news. I wonder if I can just pick it up at Macforce and not pay any shipping…I’ll have to email and ask.
JC edit: This person is from Macforce (for some reason didn’t mention it), and it’s rather cool. I will try to be there for sure
