I just joined G+ 2 hours ago with such an invite.
I must be missing something. When I select the 'view post' on the invite email, the interface tells me that I need an invite. Quite a conundrum!

Agreed. Count me in the "I'd like to have a chance to test it over Facebook" section ;-)
If you guys have gmail accounts I'll invite you. EDIT: HN usability fail navigation Tip #97: The email field in your profile is invisible to others. Put your email in the About field so that others can see it.
At the moment, Facebook still has the edge because it has all my friends on it. I also am less than 24 hours with +, so I haven't gotten to fully explore. But when more people join and I figure out all its quirks, I believe I will prefer it to Facebook (as I haven't particularly liked Facebook for quite some time now).

It's a perfectly valid reaction, just not a valid comment on HN. This page is clearly for people who want to discuss this topic, if you're not one of those people, don't click the link. Ironically, I'm sure you don't go into every single topic on HN and comment when you don't care about the subject, yet you complain about the hype that made you bother to write a comment about it.
It's a poll, it's asking for people's reactions. If you exclude options, people or opinions it's selection bias. If you want to know what people think, ask broad questions and listen to the answers. Asking questions like this where you specifically exclude some points of view means you'll get "data" that statistically worthless. Well, even more worthless than the usual polls on HN. I'm sure lots of people on HN are a…
"I'm sick of the hype already and I can't be bothered to try it."
That actually excludes more options than it adds. It is an explanation with unnecessary complexity. Applying Occam's razor would turn the option into "I have not tried it," which is indeed a missing poll option.

Well, when the front page is covered in Google+ stories since it launched, I think its fair to voice disapproval at the hype.
There's another option missing: I like it, prefer it to FaceBook, but won't switch until all my friends do. I think the make or break of G+ is in mass migration of circles of friends (pun intended). Facebook takes enough time out of my life as it is. Managing 2 separate sets of 'social networks' seems a bit over the top to me.
results: Twitter: 2 @replies Facebook: 8+ likes, 3 comments Google Plus: Nothing
I have ~80 people who have put me in some sort of circle (versus 200 or so facebook friends).
So how do I feel about Google Plus's efficacy as a place to share stuff? Jury is still out, but it doesn't seem too promising.

You should add an option for those that haven't gotten a chance to try it out yet. Some people, including me, just aren't that cool yet :)
I'm in the same boat because I have a Google Apps account, so Google Profiles (and thus Google+) isn't available to me (yet?).
