Its a 200 dollar rebate off the already discounted price of the education price.

That means its $1568 for a 12inch pb + 10gb ipod.

It's as good as getting a free ipod.

Looks like a really good deal to me.
let's see, my ibook will probably get me 800, 20gb ipod, 300, need to raise that extra 500 dollars

Next to the ADC Hardware Discount, it's the best deal Apple has going right now, and it's a mighty fine one at that. If you're a student and don't wanna use your ADC Discount just yet, jump on it.

Nope, the ADC is a separate thing all together. Also, there are limits on how many times you can use the educational discount, once a year I believe.

Actually, it can be had by pretty much anyone who is in a software development related field. And the only college students that can get it are those who are taking a course that is software development related.

Alright, the ADC discount is abt 40 bucks cheaper than the Bundle. But i would have to pay that 99 dollar membership fee right? Which makes the bundle a cheaper deal now.

So i think i'm gonna go for the bundle deal.

Now to think of how to sell my ibook and ipod. Anyone living in the Atlanta Georgia region around here?

I think its a fabulous deal, my new 15gb iPod for $199 is quite the bargain! Pity the $100 off a printer part is over, but I got $50 off my Epson. Great time to upgrade!

the biggest problem w/ the bundle is that you have to pay tax, almost neggating any discount you may be receiving. Try instead purchasing from mac connection or the like.

I looked at the education section of the dutch apple store but we don't have those kind of deals. No ADC discount either this blows
