In the U.S., the day after Thanksgiving is called "Black Friday", which is historically one of the busiest shopping days of the year.

As previously reported, Apple is offering a one-day shopping event today (Friday, November 25th).

While specifics have not been announced, Apple sent out this link to customers promoting the sale through their online store.

Quote:

Come back to the Apple Store on the day after Thanksgiving for a special one-day-only holiday shopping event. You’ll find dozens of great gift ideas for everyone on your list, and you’ll get free shipping on all items.

Meanwhile, many other retailers are providing discounts and sales starting the early morning hours.

Is that a Joke? There should be a punishment for false remarks in this thread - it could lead to mass chaos.

It's funny how I can talk to people in the future. It's 10:40 Thursday night here in Los Angeles.

You've confused me.

EDIT: I figured it out - nevermind.

davefan6435 · Nov 25, 2005, 01:45 AM

wow, its only begun and im already scared. I went to compusa at like 12:15 and they opened at 12. It was mass chaos and I ended up leaving because they were already sold out of the speakers I wanted. Now I get to repeat all this again when I get up to go at 5, thats when it gets real crazy.

nagromme · Nov 25, 2005, 01:46 AM

Online sales I'm all for. In person? No way.

EricNau · Nov 25, 2005, 02:22 AM

I guess Turkey really does make people sleepy, it's very quiet on MacRumors tonight.

They're either all in line at various retail stores, or are retail employees like myself hiding in a corner and praying for a natural disaster to take out their place of employment

I think everyone is just hitting refresh on the Apple site to see the deals...

MacTruck · Nov 25, 2005, 02:28 AM

If they take 10% off mac sales I am getting the quad baby.

EricNau · Nov 25, 2005, 02:30 AM

30 minutes until Midnight!

jinzo012 · Nov 25, 2005, 02:39 AM

It's 1:38 in Houston, Tex-Ass (and 5- O' Clock Somewhere

)

Apple is located in California, which is Pacific Standard Time. So we are assuming the online sale will start at 12:00 PST.

EDIT: MacTruck, you beat me to it.

EricNau · Nov 25, 2005, 02:53 AM

We are all too busy hitting the refresh button on the Apple Store page, we don't have time to post!! AHHHHH

AHHHHHH! Good one. Me too.

EricNau · Nov 25, 2005, 02:55 AM

The Apple store might be down for a few minutes while they are updating it - I hadn't thought of that before.

I hate & love that "We will be back soon" post-it.

5 minutes!

EricNau · Nov 25, 2005, 02:59 AM

Is there a way to tell a page to auto-refresh? My fingers are getting tired.

LESS THAN ONE MINUTE!
I am starting to think nothing is going to happen!

greenguy4 · Nov 25, 2005, 03:00 AM

Does anyone here know about the possibility of combining the student discount and this Thanksgiving discount -- or perhaps which will be more.

EricNau · Nov 25, 2005, 03:00 AM

It's midnight - nothing is here!

I suspect you will not be able to combine offers. I am thinking overall the edu discount will be better - but on some select products it may not. I really don't know what to expect.

MacTruck · Nov 25, 2005, 03:01 AM

They had 10% off last year, hoping for the same.

Me thinks thats lame. So students and govt get no discounts? That sucks.
