I thought they'd gone under years ago! :-)

60 bucks off on an iPad4! The smart move would have been to sell your iPad3 on the announcement of the 4 and pick up an iPad4 today. If we stay on the Fall roll out of iPads then this could be a winning strategy for hard core upgraders.

but I believe Best Buy charges taxes in almost all states so MacMall+no tax may still be better.

Staples in Canada will have the base 13" MacBook Pro for $999 -- $200 off.

Does anyone know whether MacMall hits up Californians for sales tax these days?

From the front page

When looking for the cheapest price, it's good to know which retailers charge sales tax automatically. MacMall charges sales tax in California, Illinois, New York, Tennessee, Minnesota, Georgia, North Carolina and Wisconsin.

Amazon has a better price on the Macbook Air - free delivery and no sale tax.

[oxocube]

Thanks WLS.

The day has come to upgrade the family iPad. We've had a 1st generation unit since the 2010 launch (which I may liquidate on Gazelle for $125, the easy thing). It'd be nice to have something, uh, snappier.

What? No deal on the 15" MBP Retina?

I'm hoping Apple will at least offer a small discount on it.

Unless you live in a state where Amazon is required to charge sales tax.

From California, I have to pay sales tax. Same price, so I might as well get it myself from Best Buy. I am the type that likes physically purchasing their product...(especially a Macbook Air)

O canada, you are lame with your HST tax, and also no info on the black friday sales.

I concur, our free ride is over at Amazon.

Are these store cards e-mailed out or shipped?

[richnyc]

One thing that's weird, or at least a bit confusing, is that when I went to the Best Buy website and and clicked to check out the price on 13" cMBP, it recommended to complete my purchase by adding a 60W charger, too... Weird

I'm assuming that'd be a second one as Apple MBPs all come with chargers included.

The last time I sprung for the Best Buy iTunes card deal (a few months ago), they emailed me a code.

Update: I just pulled up my receipt from last time, and it specifies "digital delivery," which this offer does not. Plus, if you go to the BB site and show all iTunes cards offers, they break out the "email delivery" versions from the standard cards. The e-mail version of the $100 card is NOT listed as being on sale. It appears they actually mail you a physical card for this sale.
