i just noticed that....im thinking they probably updated it...but this is more of a "mirror" per say of the old store...at midnight pst it will update im guessing...

thats just an idea
 
store is back up

will it serioulsy take them 2 hours to update...becuase now it is 10:00 pst.....

The store was down a few minutes ago, but it's back up now.

I don't see any discounts, but then again it's not midnight PST yet.
 
do not forget recycling

I'm ready to order a second iMac 17" 2.0 from the Apple on-line store after midnight.

Besides the estimated US$100 discount on Black Friday the retail stores and the on-line store should provide a coupon giving one access to Apple's low profile recycling program. One can recycle up to 140 pounds (less shipping boxes) of old computer junk by obtaining from Apple two Fed-Ex shipping labels. Drop two boxes off at Fed-Ex and Apple will pay for the shipping to their recycling center. Supposedly good equipment gets directed to worthy organizations and the toxic stuff gets recycled properly. If you buy a Mac elsewhere you can't participate in Apple's recycling program.

My 1989 LaserWriter II still prints fine but will not work with any of my current Macs. A 1994 Sony 17" CRT monitor and a Power Mac 6100 are likewise ready to recycle. Where I live it would cost me $75 at the dump and over $100 to ship them to a responsible computer recycler.
 
Looks like it's up and running now. :)

New Macbooks $899!!

I was in the Best Buy in West Los Angeles and they have the previous models Macbooks and Macbooks pros. I asked if they were sending them back to Apple and they said they were blowing out all the discontinued Macs at 5 am Black Friday. The manager there said I could buy the entry model Macbook for $899.99! Its the first generation with Intel core duo but so what. They also had the Macbook pros too. This is the info I got that day. He also said they had the most inventory and the other Bestbuys weren't as aggressive in pricing which I believe because I was at another store and they had none of the older macs.

1.83MacbookCD white $899.99
2.0 Macbook Pro $1499.99
2.16 Macbook Pro $1699.99

They had other models too but I could only see so much in those tacky cages.
 
I was hoping for a little more of a discount on some of those items. I'd figure with the Nano at least $20 off from $149. Guess we'll just have to wait and see. Only about 15 minutes to go for 12:00am PST! :)
 
I'll go for the 4GB Pink nano for my girlfriend ($21.00 discount).

I *might* buy Photoshop Elements (BUT it is not Universal Binary) for $68.00.

The Shure E4C 'phones are $61.95 less!

Umm...:eek:

Well my order only totals to $143.00, which included one sale item for .Mac but all sales count towards Apples stock. :D
 
17" iMac 2.0Ghz ordered 20 minutes ago.

A check off box at check-out enrolls me in Apple recycling program.

The $101 iMac discount becomes $93 in California because of a state imposed extra tax for new computer monitor purchases. $ goes to local dumps to help pay for the processing of dumped computer gear.

monitor 4-14.9" $6 (MacBook)
monitor 15-34.9" $8 (everything else)
monitor >35" $10 (future iMacs?)
 
Oddly enough, from the education store, you can't get the extra discounts. Well at least not on the ipod...but on the government store ... YOU CAN!
I would have save an extra $30 if I went through the gvt store. OOOPS! Hopefully someone else benefits from this post and doesnt make the same mistake! I will probably call apple in the morning and see if I can get the extra savings ... but just a heads up if you are a gvt employee!
:D
 
Just one more thing that's US-only (iTunes TV shows, movies, etc etc). Here in UK there is never an Apple Store sale (except refurbs) as far as I have seen.

*Sighs*

So ... enjoy your US black Friday savings, even if they are only small ones!
 
well then i'll go back to sleep...

figuring you only save 1 dollar more on a macbook than you would w/ just an educational discount..i'll get it tomorrow...

oh btw..a hint...if you go to an apple store and buy a giftcard for the amount you need online...then you can use the gift card..get free shipping...plus get your 100 bucks off on a macbook w/ educatoinal discount and have no tax...

so you really end up saving 200 bucks....thats what im doing just a heads up
