Awesome, thanks for letting us know!

Update:

The company has since confirmed they will go on sale at all three stores online from 6pm, and in store tomorrow morning.
The 16GB version will be £89, down from £349, while the 32GB version will be £115, down from £429. He stressed there would be "limited stock".
Webb also added the company would be offering refunds to those who paid the full price.

Any idea if other retailers (Amazon UK, Ebuyer, etc.) will follow suit?

I think they have sold out before even lowering the price as people buy at full price in order to get the refund.

Bummer

The product pages keep going up/down, not too sure why though.

As of writing the 16GB page is up - 32GB one says unavailable.
