Superdrive for free with a new mac?

[Val K]

Hi,
i've read on this forum that a bunch of users get a superdrive for free with their new iMac/rMBP. How is it possible? Is there a promo code or is it like a "negotiation"?
I used the search option and google but i couldn't find an answer.
Thanks

Call Apple and convince them to give you one - if you want.

I've never seen a free superdrive offer but do you actually need it? For most people it's of little use. I say buy the iMac/rMBP without, then purchase if you find there's a need.

it's not a matter of "greed", i need a dvd reader and i read here on the forum a couple of times that with an order of a brand new mac, apple will ship to you a superdrive for free. Then i was asking. If this is not true, then i will buy one, but if apple give it to me, why not?

p.s. this is an example, but i read it in more threads.
