Apple's Black Friday Promo: Ready. Set. Shop.

i would buy the phone in a heartbeat tonight if i wasnt so concerned with getting it to work with t-mobile. i have a friend who has done it successfully but i dunno its a big risk imo.
 
you can probably buy these SALE items year round at amazon.com and not pay tax and it'll cost less than it will tonight on apple.

i bet the webmaster is doing us all a favor anyways.
 
nothing yet

man...its 320 am est and nothing yet

if the edu discount cannot be combined then is this deal still better than the edu discount only ?

I agree. I already have AT&T, but I'm really torn about jailbreaking it. For the most part it seems relatively safe to jailbreak for apps, but I'm still worried about bricking it.

Anyway, sucks for Apple though, I might've even been convinced enough to buy both an iPhone and a Macbook Pro if the sales were decent enough and worth the trouble.

My affiliation with a university can get me a MacBook Pro (15-inch 2.2GHz Core 2 Duo) at a $260 discount which is a ton better than the rumors of $100 off =/
 
Ready steady shop - or not, in Japan, as this offer does not apply here. What a crock.

Well... at least it's not one of those doorbuster deals where the first X number of customers get something free or a bigger discount...

I'm headed off to bed now with visions of iPods dancing in my head. Perhaps Apple miscalculated midnight PST and accidently hit for Alaskan time... ;-)

Nite all :)

I think Apple will open the Store at 12;40pst to make up for last year's embarassment.

sneaky Apple. You're losing valuable monies. I think if they wanted to be clever ike that they would have put 12:41am on the flyer to get a few smiles.
 
This is bad...

I don't even own an actual mac yet other than a new generation iPod, yet I'm already obsessed about getting a new phone and a Macbook Pro :p

The mac-obsession has fully sunk in me-thinks.
 
OMG Im going to be really pissed it there are no Touch's on sale. 31 minutes later, and no sign of the Store coming back. Sheesh, they should atleast tell us the sales prior to the sale starting, so we know if it's a waste of our time our not.
 
asian stores offline too

is their entire online shopping system centralized ?

Word from NYC is that iPod touch and iPhone are both not on sale this year. I don't know if it's plausible to think that they'd offer anything different online :(

so you would be jailbreaking it just to ad apps?

i just dont want to spend $400 and one small thing go wrong and i have a useless 400 item. I also have grown to like t-mobile a lot more than when i had sprint so spending $200 to get out of the t-mobile contract to go to AT&T doesnt seem smart either lol.

the smart thing for Apple to do is to create more media buzz by putting the iPhone and iPod Touch on sale for Black Friday. This will generate enough buzz to start a shopping frenzy.

Yea, overall doesn't seem worth the risk to even bother jailbreaking it I guess. Only thing is that I can't seem to find a report of someone bricking their phone from only jailbreaking. All the people who have had problems so far seem to have gotten it from unlocking the phone to use with other networks.

I guess I'm just trying to find a justification to convince myself it'll be ok :p

As well as more lawsuits :p.


If they go 40 minutes later to counteract last year then 4 minutes, otherwise I think it'll be at 1:01pst.
 
im hardcore thinking about the touch because of what was discussed above about the iphone and tmobile, but i dont need the touch really with my macbook for internet, i dunno but i need to replace my aging 30GB.
