cool.

Depending on how much a digital camcorder is, it more than pays for .Mac.

My brain is RIPE to comprehend what the h*** it's supposed to mean when it starts to "blead".

"I thought Apple was a music company?"

What gave you that Idea? Final Cut Pro, Final Cut Express, Shake, iMovie, iDVD, iPhoto...oh, you are thinking about iTunes and Garageband.

Give Aways

All the freebies in the world through the local Apple store will not overcome the need for a lower price for the .Mac service. Apple is just plain stubborn and stupid about this $99 per year subscription. Most would rather use the C-note against the cable bill.

hmmmm

'Depending on how much a digital camcorder is, it more than pays for .Mac. '

Or for even cheaper you go to pretty much any Etailer, and you don't have to pay for .Mac. It's 10% on the MSRP basically. Not worth it.

If you need $100 to pay off your cable bill, you need to start watching a lot less p***...

YEAH! Since when was cable only $100 a year?! Here in Texas, at least, it's $50 a month or more. That's $600 a year. Still think .Mac breaks your wallet more than your cable bill?

Who cares about Canada, if you don't like the lack of Apple support, I'm sure there are Dell stores up there.

Great attitude - Apple could go FAR with that kind of thinking. For what it's worth, there are no stores in Oklahoma either - but I'm not holding my breath.

Meow meow meow

This could help digital camcorder makers sell more of their product through Apple Retail rather than other stores, just like the gift cards in Target help Apple.
I think of Apple as a Digital Media company, in which there are plenty of markets to expand to with their software.
This is plain news that will only cater to the people that have a .Mac account, it isn't telling you to buy one. There are several discounts that Sony, Canon, JVC have at other places even Canada if you are worried about it so much, but it depends on if they have the right camera's in stock.

No, they've gone the way of Gateway stores: belly up

I guess American companies have no clue how to do business up here.

camcorders

having just bought a new sony digital camcorder, I loked at microcenter, and at Best Buy, they had the IDENTICAL model for $100.00 less, no rebates, nothing, just a $100.00 cheaper everyday price. I can only imagine how much more it would have been at an apple store. So the .mac savings is not even worth it.

homework

Here's some prices to help so people sleep easier and maybe help some people do their home.

Two video camera's priced between Apple and Best Buy are the same price. Best Buy is $100 less on two cameras. And Apple is actually $200 BELOW Circuit Cities price on the last one.

Canon ZR80 Digital Video Camera
Apple: $399
Best Buy: $399

Canon Elura 50 Digital Video Camera
Apple: $699
Best Buy: $599

Canon Optura 20 Digital Video Camera
Apple: $799
Best Buy: $699

Canon Optura 300 MiniDV Camcorder
Apple: $999
Best Buy: $999

Sony DCR-TRV38 MiniDV Handycam
Apple: $699
Circuit City: $899

I'm sure somewhere, someone's always going to beat Apple's prices. But this whole, "Apple so much more expensive" argument isn't as sound as some might think.

in stock? is more like it

I noticed that the Apple Online store offers the Canon ZR85. This was the camera I was really hoping to get (after doing loads of research). The point of the matter is this, while the online store has it, the retail stores are telling me they have no idea when (if) they will be getting the ZR85 in stock...

and this is ONLY for instock retail cameras...so much for your Apple Retail store carrying the latest of Canon/Sony/JVC (as the offer states)....
