Apple has traditionally kept secret exactly what will be on sale that day. And Thanksgiving in the U.S. is certainly a time of tradition.abhishake said:

I got an email from apple "announcing" the sale, but no details. Directs to this website:

Can we assume this sale will be online?
Anyways, let's break down the graphics again: iPod Nano, iMac, Apple Universal Remote, iMac again, digital camera, iPod, headphones, iPod Shuffle, Mighty Mouse, G5, iSight, AirPort Express, G5 again?, MIDI keyboard, digital camcorder, Apple Keyboard, CD/Software/Media, another mouse...
How about sales all across the board?
I could use a Mac Mini or iBook (or maybe even the low-end G5) and maybe a iPod Nano or AirPort Express. Ahhh... decisions, decisions...EDIT: So, how about a LOT LESS politics and more Apple rumors, mmmkay?

Tax? What's that? No sales tax here in Oregon

I ordered my iMac last year on the online Apple Store and got a discount with the Black Friday sale. It was about the equivalant of the educational discount, so it was as if Apple opened it up for everyone - not that they keep you from using the discount at the online store anyway.
BTW, BF is the absolute worst example of American consumerism anywhere. There is nothing Christmas-like about rushing into a Wal-Mart for $29 DVD players and getting trampled to death. If you are shopping that day and think that you are viewed as anything other than cattle with a wallet, you are sadly mistaken.
I work in retail and dread that holiday rush.

And just who is the "somebody" that does that? If I remember right, isn't it some gadget-maker?Doctor Q said:

Not slightly; I still believe that Apple's sales are much more genuine than other sales. You used an example where your company RAISED prices, THEN DISCOUNTED THEM to say they were on sale. Apple does not RAISE prices, then DISCOUNT them to say they are on sale. Bad comparison.
But I don't really care - I don't want to pursue this any further, if thats ok, so don't bother replying...
Save 8% Everyday - Amazon
Why would anyone EVER buy anything in a retail store? My office is two blocks from Apple's Soho NY Flagship store, great for playing with the new toys they make - but why pay full retail price plus tax? Amazon usually has a rebate on Macs ($125.00 on iMacs right now) with no tax and free shipping - I'll eat some extra turkey and sleep in.

Couple of odd things about this sale:
1) I view this email in Safari (via Gmail) and the links on the image don't work, yet when I view the same email via Firefox the links work?
2) I live in Canada, registered with Apple using a Canadian address - yet I get an US Apple store advert, which I can't use, since the US Apple Online shop doesn't accept non-US credit cards or Canadian delivery addresses.
Oh yeah, we had our thanks giving a couple of weeks ago - yet I didn't see a sale for that.

Well, we get Boxing Week.
if apple reduces the price of lets say an ipod (cause i want one) to about the price of the edu. discount, does this mean i get more off because i'm a student? Or will they only take one offer
I'm pretty sure they are "not available with any other offer." - But I guess it could happen.puckhead193 said:
cr2sh said:Does anyone know if Apple has iven away grab-bags or anything free at these events? Anything worth waiting in line for?
I think we would have heard something by now. Stores that have "give-aways" will advertise them weeks before, so they can get as many people to come as possible. If you don't tell anyone, then no one will come (that wouldn't have anyways) and everything you gave away would have been a waste.
But you should have come to the grand opening of the $.99 store in my area. The first 9 people in the store could buy an iPod Nano for $.99
The first person got in line at 8pm the night before.

OT: but you know... China is overpopulated. Which is where I think he was going with that... just like the DMV is over-crowded on a Saturday.
Which is why I asked. I certainly didn't see anything on the advert I recieved saying "free mac mini's!".. so I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything.
