In Han Chinese tradition the color red represents luck among other things.

Can we call someone who buys an Apple product the Friday before a new release a victim of Blue Friday?

....no....? yeah, sounded better in my head.

Shipping is going to kill you and no it will not ship to you.

The number 8 is, not exactly 88. 8 sounds like the Chinese character 發 part of the word 發財.

$430 is indeed a gamble but the items will always have a combine value of more than $430.

The fun is on who will get the best deals worth way higher.

No we don't get Black Fridays here. Apple even removed Back-To-School promo. Bummer when I had to buy my sis a MBA a few months ago. Sigh.

Given that it wasn't a free iPod most folks in the US weren't too happy either.

No black Friday deals. That's an American tradition.

As I pointed out in my post, many non-thanksgiving celebrating countries got the black friday deals.

Korean Apple Store

Hey Guys,

This deal looks like its valid for Korea too. Its not mentioned in the original article, but that banner is on the Korean store site. I can't read Hangul, but the banner looks similar and the dates correspond.

Update: This is the Google translation: "Next Friday, Apple Online Store just to visit.
Anyone want to receive iPad, iPod, Mac, and can arrange for a gift is a very remarkable day.
In the meantime, Apple Online Store Find a nice gift idea."

Just my luck that I just bought an airport express 2 days ago, not knowing about this deal...ffs. Anyways, hope its helpful.

THAT IS SO COOL. who ever comes up with the "Red Friday" term should be awarded.
