Anyone did get one?

I checked it out on SpyMac.com
"According to initial reports, each of the lucky bags sold at the grand opening of the Apple Store San Francisco contained an Apple Wireless Keyboard and Mouse, along with Keynote and iLife and varied between an Airport Extreme Base Station, a 10 GB iPod, or an iPod mini. "

One guy attempted to sell it on eBay

Someone bought it

No, I did not. But I was in line at 4:45 am to get one! But I already have evyrything that you named off except the iSight or iPod mini. So in retrospec it's not that bad... the line was kind of fun, but generally disappointing when the "lucky bags" were announced as being all given away.

If only I live close to SF, I would of lined up to buy one as well... But you said they were given away? So... free? I thought it cost $250 to buy one of these bags.

I wish I could have went and got one......But that would have been a long trip from Calgary to SF

I think it would have been worth it though

Stogieman · Feb 28, 2004, 08:18 PM

I was there a little before 4:30am and STILL didn't get a lucky bag. I missed being in the first group of customers they allowed into the store by just 4 spots.

Oh well, it was fun seeing Steve Jobs and John Rubenstein (Apple's Senior VP of Hardware Engineering). I think Jonathan Ives was there too. It's days like this I wish I had a digital camera.

Daracle · Feb 28, 2004, 08:59 PM

We need people who got one to post to find out what they got....Maybe a MacNN person was the lucky one who got the 40gig iPod

Call me crazy but I just bid on the one at eBay

I am very sorry to hear that

I would have beeen a huge disappointment.

Did you get the T-shirt (they said there's 2500 T-shirts). What does it say. Anyone got a photo of it?

tdvorak · Feb 28, 2004, 09:32 PM

Yeah, I got a T-shirt. It says "{Apple Logo} San Francisco." And the bags weren't free, although it would have been nice to have one offered.

Kenneth · Feb 28, 2004, 09:42 PM

Apple shows the love to SF people.

I wish I live in the Bay Area.

I guess the T-shirt stype it's a bit like to Hard Rock Cafe T-shirt, right?

Cadaver · Feb 29, 2004, 10:25 AM

Contents of the Lucky Bag are pretty nice, but I guess its a good thing I didn't buy one...
Already have an AEBS, Apple wireless keyboard, D-Link BT dongle, iLife '04, Keynote, .Mac, iPod.

Then again, I'm 2000 miles away, so it wasn't really an option.

But I'll be there in April. Woohoo!

Yeah, I got a t-shirt, here's a picture of it. I'm sorry for the crappy quality. I had to use my old Sony camcorder and iMovie to get this picture.

Apple's reputation in the packaging of it's products applies to their free t-shirts as well .

ae77 · Feb 29, 2004, 02:29 PM

my bad. he added it afterward. didn't check...

i would have liked more hardware in the contents.

SeSawaya · Feb 29, 2004, 03:01 PM

some good pics of the store on apples web site. Looks very much like Chicagos

I really thought this would be one of the first stores to open.

You're still a huge disappointment.

MacsGalor · Feb 29, 2004, 05:31 PM

If you read the main MacNN page it says that some of these bags have a special surprise, has anyone heard what that surprise was?
