yes I need the 3g 32 gig. my wife is blind and needs voiceover. I wish I could afford another iphone but I can't afford to get stuck with the extra 30 a month right now.

This ad is incorrect...

I have 2 reasons to believe that this is wrong.

1. My friend works and Apple, and this is not the sale they are doing. They are going to be doing the original one that BGR posted. It said 25% off all Macs, 30% all iPods, and 15% off all accessories. That was what they were given.

2. Apple has already confirmed that the Mac Mini will be on sale, and this ad does not even mention the Mac Mini.

Hmmm, I guess we'll all find out tomorrow (hopefully)!

when you mention 25% off all macs does that include the MBP? possibly the 15 inch. =)

You can get the same discounts in Mexico, don't have to go to USA. Mexico has Apple Store online too. Only difference (and a BIG one) is the crappy 17% Mexican sales tax that takes advantage of consumers over other countries ... supposedly the rate is so high here because there are many tax evaders (like mom & pop shops), so they punish those that do pay taxes to get revenues.

Those prices are nice!
I can only wish to live in USA, since here most of the computers are at least $300 + 5% tax. I still don't get why people in USA cry about the prices there. That people earn way more money compared to what other people in other counties does.
Apple prices today are more than competitive and offers a lower TCO than the rest of the industry using windows. Just enjoy black friday!

Guess your info is bad after all, it is already Thursday in Australia and NZ .. and the discounts are minor, not anything like what you are suggestion, far from it in fact. For example, the iPod Nano 16 only gets an $11 discount or about 5%. In Mexico's online store that does not even cover sales tax. Not much of a motivator to push someone to buy, unless they were already going to buy in the first place, .... do save a couple bucks I guess.

Unfortunately, your friend was wrong.:( The US website is showing the "sales" now.

People may earn more money in the US, but it sure costs more to live.

Sorry with the exception of Health Insurance, you're totally wrong there.

For example, My income tax is much higher than yours (22%), I pay 15% VAT (sales tax) on most of my items, fuel works out at $7.22 / US Gallon for me, food is more expensive, road tax costs more, computers cost more as do most consumer goods and utilities.

And I live in one of the cheaper countries to live in Europe.

It depends on which city in the US you live in. Try living in Los Angeles or New York......

Also, I never said that the US is the most expensive place in the world to live in. I was simply stating that, although people in the US seem to make a high wage, the cost of living is also high. $100,000/yr in Los Angeles doesn't get you nearly as far as $100,000/yr in Panama (which is where that poster is from).

Fair comment there... But try living in London or any other place in the UK! And as I said, that is a very cheap place to live in Europe as the sales tax and income tax are lower than elsewhere...
