It would be quite awesome if they also offered an new iPhone with any purchase. I doubt they will, just saying...
Got a tip for us?

Does the promo usually start on Monday or Tuesday? Looking to get my son a 13" MBP for HS graduation present.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Best buy told me that they would match the BTS price and the Student Discount. I'm assuming there won't be any rebate through them. Any time I've bought a phone with a rebate from them they take it off right then. That's where I'm going!
Question...Is there any clear cut time frame where if you buy a Mac you will be able to download Lion for free? Is it worth waiting for? and lastly how much does a copy run if I decide to buy one before it comes out?

The top end iMac is £1649 in the UK which I can currently get for £1451 through a friend who works for a university. Will the back to school promotion mean I get even more off?
Also if the free iPod offer goes ahead again do Apple require proof that you are a student to issue the rebate?

Last year it started on the 25 may,
But does anyone know when it ended?
It probably end befor Jan-Feb. 2012 (before the next gen. MacBooks are there, wright?
'cause 7 mounts is too long for it, I gues.
If anyone know how long the promotion will be online/ how long it was online last year, pleased tell me.

I'm interested in taking advantage of this promotion. I suppose the point of it is to clear out inventory of iPods, not of MacBook Pros, since there's still a long time to go before the next MBP update. It seems the trend now is to do just one MBP update a year during the first half of the year.
Well, I'm more interested in the laptop than in the iPod, so it's fine for me Actually, I already have an iPod Touch 4, but I think I could use an iPod Nano, if I can get it for free Can I buy ANY iPod in this promotion? I want the 16 gb nano. I'm going to start thinking about the colour

So your local best buy said they would match the BTS price with the free iPod? A friend of mine just bought his 27" iMac last Sunday, I'll let him know about this and hopefully Best Buy will allow them the iPod without having to physically take it back and re-ring it up.
just bought my MBP 15 2.3 in store should fall within their 14 days policy, and from what ive heard this way I dont have to do a rebate they will just send me a new ipod! and im hoping it will be the first gen iPads they give out!
iPod not iPad.

It doesn't reduce the price of a Mac, only that you get an iPod with the purchase of a Mac... I'm not sure if it also applies outside the US.
So the Best Buy knocked down $50/$100 to match the school price from Apple and gave an instant rebate for the iPod so I won't have to wait for one?
I remembered that last year if your Mac already ran Leopard, you can get an upgrade disc to SL for $9.95.

That is what I took from it but I could be wrong. I hope it goes down like that.
Try tomorrow, it started on a Tuesday last year.
I'm crossing my fingers for the 11" MBA to be included in this.

When Lion is released it will be considerably more as it's much more of an upgrade and a general change than SL was, I read a few sources "claiming" it could range up to $130 to upgrade to the new OS, obviously not taking into account the discount for users who bought new systems within those 2-3 months prior.
Myself, I'm going to wait till WWDC to see if any Lion release date is given. I'm off to University in September so I'll be taking advantage of the B2S offer, then just sell the iPod and put the difference towards Lion if it isn't released while B2S is still running. Also, could anyone tell me if it was both an iPod AND printer rebate in 2010? I could really do with a printer too..

Don't forget you also get a free printer. Well, the way the online Apple store does it is you get $100 credit toward a printer and they happen to have one for sale for $99. I'm going to go into Best Buy (because there is no Apple store withing 500 miles of where I live), log on to the Apple Education site and see if they'll match. In fact, I'm going to try to talk them into knocking $200 off an iPad (in lieu of an iPod). I don't think Apple will do this but Best Buy might.
They will only mirror the offers being made by Apple. the B2S offer is a way for Apple to shift the remaining stock of current generation iPods, ready for the new soon to be announced models.. on iPads, they've got nothing to gain so really can't see it happening, worth a try though I guess.
I agree but I'm thinking that you and I might know a bit more about this promotion than the Best Buy folks;-)
