Just saw one of those babies up close. Wow!

So yeah, the Apple Store seems to be offering free shipping on their products, but they charge way too much on sales tax alone.

Just wondering if there are better iPod deals out there.

Thanks!

I heard a rumor (and again, this is just a rumor) that MicroCenter has their 22nd Anniversary sale going on this weekend (11/16 - 11/18) and EVERYTHING is 22% off... If you have one in your area, you might want to check into this...

Actually, I just got off the phone with them and indeed it's TRUE!

Uhm,

I went to the Cambridge Microcenter early this morning. Looked around, most products had -22% stickers on them. I ran to the Apple section, and guess what ? iPod 399$ + NO STICKER Asked the salesperson (who was a pretty arrogant nitwit, BTW) about the promotion, just to learn that, as the iPod is a new item, it's excluded from the promotion. Guess, I'll have to order it from Apple Store.

I went personally last night to the MicroCenter in Chicago after calling them, etc... Indeed I saw someone buy an iPod when i was there and get the 22% off... Unfortunately, I picked mine up at the Apple Store on Nov 10, otherwise I would have been buying one as well.. I don't know which MicroCenter was in the wrong, but you may want to call your local store again and ask "what's on sale"... You could have just had an idiot of a salesman (go figure) or the woman checking the guy out last night wasn't playing with a full deck (again, go figure...)

ICH BEN IEN BERLINER. JFK actually said "I am a Donut!" That's a type of doughnut in Germany. If he had said Ich ben Berliner. Then yes he would then be a Berliner. But, he didn't....

I think you only get 20% of if you are an ADC Premier member and 10% for Select members. Or am I incorrect?
