I would like to know more about a rumour that I am not sure that is not that if you buy the ADC student plan for 99 dollars you get more than 300 in return.
Is that true?
Thanks, Kiko.

You get 20% discount on 1 hardware order.
You should get Leopard for free.(Its not explicitly stated you do)
You get a T-Shirt
You get a chance to apply to WWDC on a scholarship
Is the ADC discount a one year thing?
i.e.
If I buy it in October to get Leopard, can I still use the discount in 2010 for my mac pro?

Don't they say a current version of the OS? I wonder if that means Tiger 10.4.10 or if you can delay it until Leopard comes out.
Current version of OS X means the currently pressed retail DVD, which at this time is 10.4.6. When the next retail DVDs are pressed, i.e. 10.5.1, they should begin shipping to developers a few weeks after initial retail demand is met.
The discount isn't a flat 20% off anything. I ran some numbers, and if I recall, the program is only worth the $100 (not factoring in the cost of Leopard) if you're buying a Macbook or Macbook Pro.
You can get the exact prices under the discount by going to:

... and looking for the "ADC Hardware Purchase Program Store" link.
Oh, and if you will be getting Applecare, purchase that through the Education Store as it is cheaper there than from the Developer Store.

Its on my screen I wouldn't lie to you
Its not an official perk they could remove the link if they wanted.

Not saying you are but they lost a sale from me so if i could have got tiger now and then leopard in october they would have said that to make the sale.....as it was they said it wouldn't happen and thus lost the sale.
I think I understand but the ADC store : http://store.apple.com/AppleStore/WebObjects/ADC?qprm=38839 is already cheaper than the educational store either way, so why wouldnt everyone buy from it?
So as I see, the 100 dollars is only worth it if you're having a +500 upgrade in a specific thing (like boosting to a MacPro 8-core processor)?

But can I use the Developer Store which is already 20% discount on mostly everything except software and accessories without having any paid memberships? If so, why would anyone else use the regular store and pay 25% more?
