Need Advice Black Friday at the Apple Store

There really aren't any sales here, right? I thought Apple never went on sale or had promotions of any kind. I'm looking for the IPAD 2 which is $499. Any one out there know what Apple does for Black Friday? The website just has a teaser saying come back and check out the Black Friday sale. Thanks!

 

I just got an e-mail from Apple that said they're having a "special one-day Apple shopping event". It doesn't specify what the deals are, it does say there are on-line deals as well; here is the fine print...

"Shopping event prices are solely available on November 25, 2011, from 12:01 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. PST, are subject to change, and do not include taxes. Promotional pricing cannot be combined with any other offers. Not all sale products are available in all Apple Retail Stores. Product specifications are subject to change. Sale prices are limited to stock on hand and while supplies last."

 

or they will discount all accessories, and not actual ipods/ipads.

 

just came out....

Might be a good option if you want an iPad with engraving.

As per the above link:

In years past the black friday shopping sites always suggest going to any other retailer for apple products, they will have larger discounts than apple ever does.

 

I read my email to understand that they were offering free engraving and shipping..didnt see any specific discounts mentioned. The salesman at Best Buy said that Ipads would be about $45 off. Of course no Iphone 4gs to be found anywhere...unless I want to have it shipped from apple. 2 weeks. yuck Best Buy at Fair Oaks ( and Im sure all) have a 42 inch TV for $199...there were already 2 guys camped outside at 1pm. They are, however,showing Harry Potter at 9PM?!?! The sales manager mentioned that if I was to guess they had between 10 and 20 to sell, I should go closer to the first number. It is so sad, that this is what the holidays are becoming for so many.
