Apple Store UK says Snow Leopard ships by August 28th

There's been a lot of news circulating around about the upcoming release of Mac OS X 10.6. First, Snow Leopard hit Amazon's pre-order list (and soon topped it) and days later, there were reports that Snow Leopard had finally reached gold master.

Today, Apple's UK store has posted information about Snow Leopard and Apple's "Up-to-Date" program, with an interesting note: Ships by August 28th. If this is true, it would confirm rumors that the next major release of the Mac operating system would be released ahead of the September release date set by Apple.

While the page is public, there's no way to order it yet. This could be a simple error or an outdated page but has Mac fans in a buzz as the release gets closer.

Incorrect. You can order it, if you bought a Mac after the 8th of June, by visiting http://www.apple.com/macosx/uptodate/, and filling out a form.

I had that problem on the UK Store before, I guess you'll have to try again later.

I have already submitted a tip like two days ago about SL releasing because I pre-ordered through the up-to-date program and two days ago I was charged the amount US$10.67. When I ordered I was told I wouldn't be charged until the item was ready to ship. Must be getting ready to be on its way!

The equivalent Irish page ( http://store.apple.com/ie/product/MC204Z/A ) shows the same, while US ( http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC204Z/A ) and Canadian ( http://store.apple.com/ca/product/MC204Z/A ) stores show shipping in September.

I can't work out how to get to the same page on other country's stores - it doesn't follow the same URL pattern.
