iPad mini Are there any Black Friday deals for iPad Mini Retinas?

The Target BF as states $75 gift card with any iPad mini. Now I suppose they could say it does not state iPad mini retina. But the $100 gift card for the larger iPads says it is good on any iPad including the iPad 2 and Air.
I would think Target will give you a $75 gift card with a mini purchase which is so good deal if you can get one.
Note the Target BF ad is already on their website under the "weekly ad" link.

I haven't seen any Ipad mini retinas in stock at my local Targets. No Ipad Airs eithers. Who knows, maybe they are getting a ton more in stock by Thanksgiving...doubt it.
So true been looking for a retina mini and none of the targets here have any and since I got the 200 trade in gift card I got to shop at target to use it.
Like you, I highly doubt that they will "stock" them just for Black Friday. They are probably losing some money to entice ppl into their stores. The ad clearly states limited quantities. At least Walmart guarantees certain item to be available for at least 1 hour after open.
I think a good idea would be to buy an Open Box retina Mini from Best Buy in the specific configuration you want, and if it comes with any defects like a screen issue perhaps, take it to Apple and have them swap it out under your warranty since that is in-fact a warranty problem. 
Buying Open Box can save you a considerable amount of money. I just helped my friend buy an iPad Mini Open Box in "good" condition for $199, when Best Buy was selling a brand new one for $299. The only problem was a minuscule speck on the back of the casing on the aluminum! Most Open Box products are bought then returned within a matter of days because people just don't want them anymore and they can't be sold as "new".

No it's not. That's for the first gen mini. It says iPad Mini with A5 processor.
When SSpiro asked "Is walmarts deal for the retina?" he or she meant the $100 gift card as the deal, not the $299 price.
I'd like to know about this too, since Target already said the $75 gift card does apply to the retina mini (if you can find one on Black Friday)
Im also looking for a rentia mini deal (LTE version)
Looks like the best bet will be apple, though they have not stated any Black Friday deal, just that they will have deals on some items
can't find anyone else other than carriers having retina minis with LTE
Verizon has $100 off but you need to sign up for a min $40 for 2 years, which is $10 more than their month to month plan (this company is the worst!) you do get 2 gigs more a month though..
