November 26 Discounts in Apple Retail Stores?

mabe said:
I'm trying to be happy for everyone that'll benefit from this mysterious discount, but part of me is really pissed that I just got my new 12" powerbook last thursday. *Deep breath*

I should be grateful that I was able to use my educational discount and the Nov 26th special will probably not be on top of that, right?

Oh well, maybe next year.

Well, you're going to be even more pissed when they release the new DUAL CORE G4 powerbooks in january.. Don't you look at the buyer's guide?

Apple doesnt throw around PERFECT everyday... Sounds like it could be more then just a discount.. Hell imagine introducing a NEW product on that day.. something considered perfect.. along with a discount.. They could move ALOT of units.. especially if they promise delivery before xmas. It wont be an Imac or Powermac.. and would be a consumer product.. I doubt it's a new machine.. Could it be some new software.. or an accessory they deem perfect? Too bad it wont be an flash ipod player.

I say this is really hard ;P I dont have a GODDAMN clue!

Maybe it will just be 10% off after all (lame.. good but lame ;P)

PS.. anyone notice that in EVERY mag latley.. Apple is getting Kudos supream.. for no viruses.. easy to use... and AWSOME customer service. Complaints a plenty though about the cost ;P Even consumer reports recommended them if you didnt mind the software issues! This would be the perfect way to boost EOY (not FY though) profits!

I don't know if a tiger pers to match the "perfect" .... but I don't think apple would throw the "tiger release" on november 27th. They don't need to flood the stores with people buying an operating system when they need people buying their hardware.
 
yeah, bring those saving down under! 😀

the Apple Aus page did have this link on the front...



the Aus online store does feature 'holiday gifts' as a prominent phrase... and i can see that red box with "give <apple logo>" becoming very catchy. 😎

No, Apple doesn't let you combine discounts. Sorry.

I don't think that's strictly true. For example, here's a quote from the T&Cs to an e-voucher on the online Apple Store:

"Cannot be combined with any other electronic discounts but may be used in conjunction with any other offer available on the AppleStore"

So it may be used in conjunction with any other offer, as long as it's not another e-voucher. So I can combine this with edu discount, as I have done in the past. Therefore there's every chance that if they're knocking 10% off store-wide you can stack the edu discount on top.
 
Two words for everyone:

iPod Socks!

They say they're going to launch them at the end of November. Perfect. 😀

Aren't you snarky. Well, yes I am aware that the G5 will probably come out in jan, but I didn't really have the time to wait since my imac G3 kicked it a couple weeks ago. A March shipment of a rev. A G5 would have done me no good.
 
iPod socks only help those with iPods...I still need one, so if you want to give me an iPod then I will gladly purchase some socks.

Not sure if he got the same email, but the one I got offered no details over what Apple has offered publically on their site. It only hints at special prices on the 26th...

I received this mailer as well, so did two other co-workers.

It is not product specific in many cases but it does raise awareness that something good should happen 🙂

That is the exact same message that I received from Apple. It doesn't really tell me what I want to know. What is actually on sale? Any specials? If it is the same as last year, it won't be worth a trip.

Take a closer look at that graphic: on the green background you can see an Airport Express, an iTrip, a set of JBL On Stage speakers, an iPod, a JBL Creature speaker, a digital camera and a 12'' PowerBook... What does it look like? For me, it seems they will be having a lot of stuff on sale (of course, I'm not thinking that those depicted items are the only ones on sale... 🙄 ), if not *everything*... And that's great, really...

Too bad we won't be able to benefit from it (btw, is this a worldwide sale, including other online Apple Stores??), because we don't have a proper online Apple Store here in Portugal - it's an "emulation" based on the official store from Apple Spain (a very clumsy translation, actually), provided by the Apple's representant, which is an incompetent IMC whith poor customer support 😱 Apple, PLEASE, oh PLEASE, make "Apple Portugal" a reality!! 😡 I'm still very surprised they managed to launch iTMS here, and I just haven't registered yet because I don't have a credit card 😉 </rant>

I got the same one. Sorry for all the confusion, it only says useless stuff. 😱 😱 🙁 😀
 
That'd be great if there was a darn Apple store in Nashville! 😡 Get it in gear Apple! Kudos to all of you who have the access to these fantastic stores (from what I hear, anyway).
 
Thought i'd add this,


I was in the Apple Store in Detroit today and I asked a bunch of different employees RE: Friday, and they said they couldnt tell me....

In which I replied ,. "probally 10% or something" and 2/4 employees said, their is a chance its not even a cost savings... so Maybe, its some type of freebie or something.. 10% coo too
20% would be smooth
 
Free apple white plastic bag with every purchase. (Hey, I make sure I don't crinkle mines untill I get home)
 
First Timer

FYI...my first input into MacRumors...I'm a near Mac user planning to venture out on Friday for my purchase of an IMac G5 20''...honestly I am looking forward to it but a bit apprehensive all the same.

Here's the best info I've received on this sale. The sales guy I spoke with recommended I come back to purchase the unit on Friday due to the sale. Now, I can't be sure he really knew what was going on or what would be on sale but the implication is that the IMac would be a better deal on Friday...so here's hoping!

Welcome to Mac and MacRumors!

If there is a discount stackable with the edu discount...my wife and I will be the proud owners of a 17" iMac G5. If not...well....we'll see.
 
No discounts in the UK today. A salesperson at the new AppleStore in Regent Street luaghed and said it was a rumour and that quite a few people had rung asking - wonder where they got it from!

EDIT: Just realised today is 25th!! Maybe still tomorrow then!
