Sorry! You are right, the page had open was from the educational discount option.
just went in the page, based price for 15 inch 2.7 used to be $2799, now reflects $2599?
It's the education prices... Nothing new
I really hope all this is true and that the dream is becoming true, but it's weird that I actually just checked Dallas, TX 71119 and for all models Air or Pro they are available TODAY in all stores!
Really? Stonebriar and Willow Bend show "Ship to Store"....this has to be intermittent store issues...
We are way too anxious-but its exciting, lol
I have been reading this thread for what seems like three years now.
*I* think, you can't reference old release trends anymore. Apple is not going to follow history as was under Jobs.
*I* think because of criticism the new management is undergoing (both from a ingenuity standpoint as well as Wall Street's opinion), they will release prduct as soon as possible.
*I* think they also don't want a repeat of last year's 15" Retina MBP release, which was a cluster**** with folks waiting a month or more after ordering within just a few days of release.
*I* think they want to spread product rollout as best possible to keep themselves in the news and show investors and Wall street products will keep coming. So I don't think they want to stack so much up in Q4.
*I* think they don't care too much about BTS sales or returns from a product released during this sale period. So they get a bunch of returns, the refurb store will perhaps get them 18 points instead of 35 points profit. Most may not notice or care about an update. We are sensitive to updates, John Q. Public is happy they got a new MBP. 4600 vs Iris, vs 650/670 mean noting to a majority of the buying public. Same with PCI SSD vs SATA.
*I* think they will release product whenever they are ready, former trends be damned. It's a new Apple. If it still had Jobs at the helm, we would never have seen the wildly popular iPad mini. Ego interfered with demand.
Just *my* thoughts. I have a tax free weekend coming up. I will buy whatever is available at the time. I'm sure *I* will LOVE it.

I am not sure where do you get this information, guys? All NY stores show available now for all models. Checked using zip code 10019 for example.
There must be an issue with the Apple Store App, not Apple.com
The App is showing "Ship to Store" and the actual website is showing "Available Now"

I would be ecstatic....makes me nervous that we have not seen ANY SKU's for the MBP line
Do we usually see SKU's before a product refresh?
I remember when I waited for my early 2008 MBP and there weren't any SKU leaks or anything. From what I can remember, they just showed up after the online store opened.

Didn't the MacBook Air Sku's start appearing right before WWDC along with the APE and APTC SKU's?
For me, it will only let me select the next-day shipping for the free gift card. I only get the option of shipping it 2-3 business days and the standard shipping.
Here's what I see:

Apple.com shows "ship to store" for both 15" rMBPs for all the Apple Stores near me in Southeastern Michigan. Not sure if that means anything, but you would think they should have them in stock.
I live in Southeastern Michigan as well and they we're in stock earlier in the day. Still not sure if this is a planned change or a glitch in the inventory. If it still shows ship to store tomorrow I'll feel better about a midweek refresh.
NO Ship-to-store. Again, people keep saying this and if you check yourself, you will find it in stock in every single store. Check it...
Here is a screen shot for 13 inch retina from Apple.com, not the app 2 seconds ago.

And here is the screen shot from Apple.com for the same model for the same exact zip code you chose showing Available Today. Clear your cache or whatever...

Earlier I saw for the Airs that available at store was the 29th...
Something not right...
