[![Image][1] ][2]

Are you a Londoner so taken with the [Galaxy S III][3] that you want to pre-order one before you've even held an in-store dummy unit? Samsung wants to give you a little something something for your eagerness: namely, [Olympics][4] tickets. The first 50 who pre-order the giant phone and pick it up at the Westfield Stratford City store on May 29th will get free passes to watch the home team run and leap its way towards a few medals. If you're hoping to claim the reward, though, be prepared to get into the kinds of lines that Samsung skewered in ads just a few months ago. Customers are being asked to show an hour ahead of the 6PM on-sale moment, and the limited slots for ticket winners could easily Samsung repeat its [sale-driven Australian lineups][5] in the northern hemisphere. There's no word yet on whether or not the promo will make the leap to [Mobile Pin pop-up stores][6], but we wouldn't be surprised if Samsung spreads the perks around.
