I purchased a macbook on 1/2/2010 and used my student discount for $50 off. Today I was showing someone the discount online that I used and now its $100 off! And with the possible announcement of iLife '10 this wednesday just makes me wish I would of waited a month... I did call the apple store and they basically said I was screwed because I was outside my 14 day return policy and that I openned it. Do you think the apple customer server center could do more? I have heard from some people that apple even gives a update disc for recent updates to software after the purchase, is this true?
Got a tip for us?

I think you are still out of luck in terms of the free iLife update, but that will be unclear until the actual release of iLife.
suck it in....this has happened to me more than once....
This time though...I am determined to buy in the early stages of the product cycle...Hence I am going to wait for the MBP refresh and will not buy iLife until 2011 (?)...

So this has happened before? You didn't learn from your past mistake and do some research this time? I guess that's your own fault.
As far as software, Apple has been known to give $10 update disks for recent purchases when they update an OS, but not iLife, so I think you're stuck. Should've just waited for what most of us knew was inevitable.

Hey, i always recommend you to check MacRumors's Buyer's guide https://buyersguide.macrumors.com//
I actually found out about MacRumors because of that guide, it will keep you away from problems like that, also the MBP refresh to Core i5's might be on the 27th of January, that means 2 days, 1 hour, 33 minutes! Be careful next time, i think it's the matter of learning that, i also bought an iMac time ago and after 2 weeks they released new ones lol
