I just bought .Mac. I have to renew in a few months and it's on sale for $31 cheaper so I figured why not? :)

Too bad students don't benefit. Some items that you wouldn't normally get a student discount like very small ticket definately but for the major things it is Black Friday everyday for me like if I bought an iMac or iPod, et cetera. And since I have no reason to buy any of that other stuff I am pretty disappointed.

Yea well i just bought an ibook from there, and they confirmed my order then halted it, saying the billing and shipping address' had to be the same...this is BS if you ask me. Im cancelling the order, ill walk into the store when i get home to buy it. Just tryin to make it easier on myself and not have to walk into a store. Since when does the billing and shipping address' have to be the same?

Make a phone call to Apple. They should be able to accommodate you. You could be buying a gift for someone.

My billing address is my Mother's and I live in a different city and Apple always sent me my stuff without a problem. So I am stumped on your situation. I do know that a lot of places do that now for added security against identity theft.

YEa im in the military and deployed, so i cant really call anyone, I had my fiancee back home call them to cancel. i wasnt in the mood to have her go through the trouble of changing the address' etc. Sucks but oh well. ill go into Apple Store when i get home and get it over the counter.

So is the $100 off ibook only good for a few more hours? I'm guessing the price will be regular in apple stores tomorrow

I ordered an Airport Express Base Station for $98 US and got free shipping. Regular price is $129. If I can still calculate perdcentages properly by hand, this equates to about 41% off. :ninja:

Sorry, but I beg to differ. The Airport Express usually has free shipping since it's over $50, and reducing the price from $129 to $98 is a 25% reduction.

But it's OK... I used a calculator so I kinda cheated :batman:

If you are a student it is always Black Friday.

OK, OK, I should have used a calculator too! Every now and then I still like to do math by hand to make sure I still can. Apparently, I need a lot more practice! :)

Black Friday is from the red (losses) to the black (profits). Sattirical term for businesses actually which like pointed out by someone earlier is the busiest shopping day of the year, not the most profitable though. That comes around the few days leading up to X-Mas. It is also called Blitz Day because it is a rush out there.

Yesterday this tnuc wouldn't let me onto the Route because it was so packed and she thought I was trying to cut in, however I had just gotten gas and was just trying to get back on the road. I hate Black Friday with a passion and I actually hate the weeks leading up to Christmas because most people become donkey holes. If we get back to what Christmas is supposed to be about I will be so happy. I am sure my middle finger will get plenty of exercise over the next few weeks.
