Try again now. Few bucks off nanos, macs etc

japanime · Nov 30, 2006, 08:29 PM

And once again, no sale for Japan.

Lame.

hob · Nov 30, 2006, 08:53 PM

Not overwhelming. £11 off iPods...

Max Payne · Nov 30, 2006, 08:54 PM

HE discounts are much better. I guess I'll have to wait for leopard. Good luck to all buyers.

That's odd - Why are they doing it everywhere except Japan?

Dunnae. If my credit card was still valid, I would have bought the Nike+ iPod kit for running, and an armband. It's all being discounted!

Do any fluent Swedish speakers know if shoppa is a real Swedish verb (as is seen in the Sweden store promo? I am half fluent in Swedish and always thought the word was "handla." But I have seen in Swedish culture that sometimes people just use English words and add a little Swedish flare to them...is this one of them?

Nor Korea. I'm hoping they'll give Asia a break come January for Lunar New Year ("Solnar", in Korean lingo).

On the plus side, Apple Korea stepped out of the dark ages last month and now offer BTO and various other services (iPod engraving, etc) long unavailable here.

The URL you provide is to the Apple Japan home page. There's a link to a "holiday gift guide" in the Japan Apple Store, but no discounts.

Unless you found something I didn't...

lorductape · Nov 30, 2006, 08:09 PM

I think its a good thing that they are truly international.

Are the discounts similar in percentage off to the Black Friday US Sale?

raggedjimmi · Nov 30, 2006, 08:13 PM

I saw this in an Apple store a few days ago. Planning on buying either an Keytronics keyboard or just an M-uno thingy midi cable adapter. But we'll see.

Edit: Tch. forget that. £69 for the keyboard, now £59 and no educational discount allowed. No thanks! I was hoping for £49 at the most.

Yeah, about the same at first glance - 10% or so off iPods and Macs in the UK anyway. Not big bucks (or quids, whatever your currency may be) but a small saving if you were thinking of buying.

Edit: there are some bigger percentage savings on other products

p0intblank · Nov 30, 2006, 08:19 PM

Well this is really nice of Apple! International is a good thing.

Great. I'm in the U.S., so I took advantage of the sale here a few days ago to get a new Nano. Now it's your turn....go buy!

noservice2001 · Nov 30, 2006, 08:19 PM

so black friday is an international thing?

Technically, no, because Black Friday is the Friday after Thanksgiving (U.S.). Apple is just extending these deals they offered in the U.S. to their international customers as well, which is a good thing.

Are you aware that as a non-EU citizen you can claim back all VAT on purchased goods when you leave the EU? There's a counter for it at every airport.

DeSnousa · Dec 1, 2006, 06:32 AM

I'm getting .Mac. Does any one know if Apple can just send me the code? Don't need delivery and the retail box
