Black Friday 2008: $300 MacBook Pro Discounts, iPhone App Sales
http://www.macrumors.com/2008/11/27/black-friday-2008-300-macbook-pro-discounts-iphone-app-sales/
Apple has officially unveiled their Black Friday sales for their online and retail stores. The discounts are very similar to last year's sales. The only two Mac models that have discounts are the iMac and MacBook with discounts of up to $101 for the mid-to-high-end models.
Meanwhile, iPods are seeing $11-$21 discounts and a number of accessories are also on sale. This also means that analysts were once again wrong after predicting discounts up to 15% from Apple this year.
Those looking for more significant Mac discounts will have better luck at 3rd party retailers.
