Yeah, through my campus Uni store (here in Canada) I see $71 CAD for the wireless keyboard (regular $79).
Man, I hope they have an 8gb iPod Touch on sale. $280 and Ill have to think about it, but $250 and Im in line.
My guess is that the iPod touch sees a discount or package or something front page worthy of their thanksgiving store but iPhone will be nothing or very small, or the minimal amount off to even be considered a discount.
the iPhone has been overachieving since they put the big price cut on it and has become the new 'phone to have' in probably every demographic. whereas the ipod touch seems to be way underachieving for the level of commercials advertising apple has done trying to make it seem like a big new, must have change to their ipod line. getting some more of the ipod touchs out there would certainly not hurt apple in making sure this product stays differentiated from the iPhone cause right now I hear the word iPhone probably a half dozen times a day and never hear anyone mention the iPod touch.

The email and website say to see a store (like a physical one) for price details. Has anyone been into one today??
I'm sure any deal won't be that great. In MA you still have to pay tax and you could just drive to NH and save money that way which is what I did for my iPhone. So if there is any kind of deal I'm sure (at least here in MA) it will just come out to not paying taxes which still isn't that all that bad a deal, but no different than taking a little trip to NH.

Black Friday Discount vs Education Discount
Can anyone say if the Black Friday discounts in the past have been combinable with or better than the regular education discounts on laptops (I'm thinking about MacBook or MBP)? I'm at the point of buying something and want to know whether or not to bother. There is no way I'm actually going to go to a store on Friday because I just can't deal with the crowds, but I would consider buying on-line that day (or before).

This is the same dilemma I'm facing. I went to the store to try to have them give more info, but they wouldn't give me any additional info. They said -- with it being so close why don't you just wait for the sales on Friday.
So I guess I have the same question... does anyone know if there will be any additional discounts on top of the education discount?

I am in Canada and I got the apple email and it said at the bottom that some items are not available outside of Canada so it was specific to Canadian apple customers
That has always been the educational price in Canada I got mine at that price last month when they finally started shipping them out.
No
Right because in the UK the whole pilgrim + discover + America = fighting for food or whatever doesn't register.
I was in the UK this time last year and I happily had fish and chips for supper.
Black Friday and Government EPP Apple Store
I posted this elsewhere on MacRumors and I think this is relevant to the discussion. Of course, this EPP email seems to be contradicted by the general apple email sent out to many apple customers (including me) in the last 24 hours. Perhaps the combination of discounts only applies to the online stores (and not in Brick and Mortar locations)?
Black Friday and EPP Store
The government agency I work yesterday (Thursday 11/15) posted an Apple flyer on our intranet site for the Black Friday sale starting at 12:01 am PST to 11:59 pm on Friday 11/23. The flyer said that the sale would be "Online Only" and according to our HR folks you can combine the traditional EPP discount and the black friday savings. No specifics were given on product discounts but I would expect they would be similar to last year's discounts posted above.

I swear to God... If the new MacBook goes on sale for any more than $100, I'm going to be furious.
Yeah, no kidding!
I think black Friday is the most ridiculous thing ever. I can't stand going into any store between Thanksgiving and Christmas!
I'll be at the top of a mountain, skiing, away from stores and cell phones on Friday if anyone needs me...
