Acquiring the iPad 3

hey folks,

i've been lurking around these forums long time i've never felt need post anything. seemingly imminent ipad release "changes everything" , wondering general consensus on best way of acquiring ipad 3.
if city has more 1 apple store, better go biggest 1 receive more units or seek out smaller ones , hope have shorter lines? mall or stand alone stores?
know online ordering option apple has not offered pre-order ipad in past not counting on that. know there has yet official apple announcement on ipad 3 nothing @ point there seems enough evidence warrant question.
in community posting entertaining stuff read/ me procrastinate!
