It's an American term for the Friday after Thanksgiving where everyone goes nuts and buys shitloads of stuff

Pretty much like what the West End is like when M&S announce a 20% sale

 

[cava83]

I wonder what toys are going to be discounted.

 

[Daz]

iPod's and Macbook's it seems.. (The Australian store is open already).

Judging by pricing on those, it looks like a £70ish discount (if directly converted from $) on a Macbook.. depending on spec. Will have to wait and see final details tho.

I am going abroad next thursday, tax free job sounds good, dominican republic, I wonder if they have an apple store there.....

Now if only Apple stuck to simply converting the prices.

Lucky if we get £40 discount lol

A half price mac mini would suit me down to a treat.

I was hoping for a discounted one as I am getting one next week to turn into a a media centre but they are not part of the offers.

Does anyone know if these are online deals only or will Apple stores be selling for the same prices tommorrow ? Need to pick up an ipod.

 

[The Ironist]

What kind of iPod you looking for? I can get them cheaper than shops...yes brand new in sealed box....

 

[Daz]

£61 off the the 2.4GHz Macbook.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm. Heh. Is it worth ordering one of them now based on that.. not a big discount, but not tooo bad.

Interestingly:

How will the VAT rate change affect me?

If you order a Mac from the Apple Online Store during our one-day shopping event, the price displayed during the checkout process and in your Order Confirmation email will include VAT at the current rate of 17.5%. However, since your order will ship on or after Monday December 1, your order will be subject to VAT at the new rate of 15%.

^ That is really quite cool

Almost as cool as me waking up at 2am to check what price reductions there are?

Ouch ;(

 

[Rob]

Waking up? Not cool! Still being up? Cool!


Getting excited over actually seeing 2.5% decrease in tax happening... not cool

I bought a refurb mac mini a month or so back, £395 for the higher spec one...that included a 20 coupon I used from an email! Not too bad.

Thats what I am planning on doing to - was some on there the other day.

I can get a 2GHz mac mini for £448.85 using my educational discount - may wait to December 1st for 15% VAT - Just don't fancy buying myself a half price one from Albert Road.
