Apple's one-day "Black Friday" sale – 27 November 2009.


It's today and it's here, for the United Kingdom.

Apple UK posted it at about 1:00 am this morning.

Worth a look-in but don't bother to bolt down your coffee – the theme is distinctly more Ebenezer Scrooge than Father Christmas.

Better bargains to be had at Apple's UK Refurbs site. :cool:

Don't laugh at banana republics. :rotfl:

As a result of how you voted in the last three General Elections,
you'd now be better off living in one.

    Some good deals (as usual) to be had at Other World Computing, though. :money:

    boo, holiday deals refuse to stack with my corporate EPP discount, but for the apple stuff they do stock I've found tax free airport shops have had the best price around

    eg airport extreme base station

    Normal £139
    Holiday Offer £132
    Corp disc £127 (if you can get one)
    Airport shop £120
    (refurb £99 but not 'brand new' then)

    I gather the Scrooge comment also applies to their American site. Infact, I get the opinion they rather embarrass themselves on 'Black Friday.'

    Don't forget an extra 4% cashback from Topcashback or other sites. That would bring a £229 Touch to under £200 (just).

    Although Apple's reductions are not as spectacular as many other American celebrants since they rarely ever have (rarely ever need) a big sale I would say a 12% discount is not to be sniffed at.

    IT's certainly not a great sale, but it's better than nothing if you're planning on buying something anyway. Especially if you have a daughter who wants an iPod Touch and wants it engraved. :rolleyes:

    I got a total of £14.74 discount on the iPod and a case and also got £5.28 cashback through Quidco so saved £20.02 which is better than nothing I suppose.
    It's my problem, it's my problem
    If I feel the need to hide
    And it's my problem if I have no friends
    And feel I want to die

    I'd be happy at finding £20 on the street...
